Text of the page (random words):

29 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 24 june 2018 my goodness has it really been that long i have just looked at my last blog post and hanging my head in shame i found it was the end of march when snow was on the ground and we were wondering if spring would ever come well of course it did and now it is summer so what have i been up to various hospital and gp visits but not going to bore you with that i have celebrated my daughter in laws 50th birthday and my grandaughters 18th and in a couple of weeks it will be my son in laws 50th too i have stitched and will be showing pics for you to see martin has had eye laser treatment which has been a success so now onto the photos sue and her mum on her birthday what a photo of a mother and daughter we did not go to ellas 18th as it would have meant martin driving back in the dark at that point he had not had his eye done so he did not want to drive that far and not be able to see properly here is a pic of my 2 grandaughters on the same day a few days before the 18th ella on the left and caitlin who will be 21 at the end of the year they are off to ibiza with a couple of ellas girlfriends in a week or so my son graeme and caitlin a story being told i think catherine my daughter with sam who wants to be a firefighter when he has done his stint at college and having cuddles is alfie who wants to be a footballer my son in law with sues dad in deep discussion only one grandchild missing jack who with his fiancee was at the southampton boat show so lovely times and memories with family so now onto the stitching and reading bit well quite a bit finished in the last couple of weeks and some wips too stash has been acquired and books too however before the stitching here is what martin erected a few weeks ago my bookcase at one side of the fire sorry about the cards martin had his birthday at the beginning of the month his bookcase his side of the fire we both love books and love seeing them on display the grandchildren cannot get over the amount of books we have jack and katie came over for a curry and gin night last night and it was the first time katie had seen them where did they all come from she said we have more in the lofts i said in boxes oh dear no hope and i have 2 more coming this week i think these days youngsters do not seem to read as much technology has taken over and not for the better sometimes i fear oh i love to lose myself in a book one of the things i have been to the hospital for is my eyes they are monitoring it every 3 months i am terrified i will lose my sight and my two great loves of stitching and reading may be lost still i cannot think of that now i am sure all will be well i still manage to stitch over one with the help of my light and really good magnifier i find though by the end of the evening things are beginning to double up talking about over one this is the latest thing i am doing it is a design by carolyn manning it is called a flower a day as it was a stitch along she ran a while ago she has lots of wonderful designs and i do not think it will be the last i do this is how far i have got i am enjoying it i stitch along with lainey and jean on a tuesday lainey introduced me to carolyns designs i am also doing the lhn farmhouse series and last week finished the 4th in the series stitching with sally and sue this is daisy darlin sunday nights stitching on monday i am again with sally and sue stitching lizzie kates designs this one was finished last week and is now hanging on the wall the one before this that i finished was this one i have not realised just how much i have finished since last i wrote this is sheep in the meadow filled with lavender the same week this was finished i also finished this spring whimsies i also finished boughs of holly which had been sitting in my need to finish basket for far too long also i made a bookmark out of the gifted kit from julie it now sits on the bookcase another finish last week was on sheep night with sally here is winter friends by snowflower diaries really pleased with this one now i have a question for you what do you do with all your finished work i had a message from my ex boss asking that question so now i am asking you if you are still with me i think by now you are really fed up with seeing all these photos but i know you will be too polite to say so martin has just gone to get his mum as she is coming for sunday lunch i hope there are not too many mistakes in this just needed to get a post done today hope you are all well and stitching away furiously i am stitching on grandmas quilt tonight another in the farmhouse series no time to show stash but maybe next time will try to be soon as hilda baker used to say now i can hear you saying who take care my friends and give me a nudge if i leave it too long next time photo hunt the end of this week argh must take photos much love barb x at june 24 2018 13 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday 24 may 2018 hawthorns scavenger photo hunt may hello everyone before i start on mays assortment please can i thank everyone for their comments on aprils post i did have to find my thinking head for this months photos but find them i did and here they are 1 cool this one had me wondering but thought i would go for the alternative meaning this was taken at pallington lakes the lakes are cool but i thought the words in the water were rather cool too a beautiful day to wander round and see all the sculptures no dogs allowed though and no children 2 disaster another one that made me think last year this was a bit of a disaster my cooker minus a door i hit it with my head one morning hubby heard a crash and found me on the floor surrounded by glass an ambulance was called and i had staples put in my head lots of tests to find out why i had blacked out but no real reason i did find i have got a brain though as they did scans lol 3 movement gosh these were hard where there is water there has to be a retriever in it our dog ollie in colley brook near tavistock thought swimming was a movement 4 fence fencing not your usual fence taken at west bay looking towards the cliffs 5 spiky this was taken in the garden yesterday a rather prickly rose stem a rather safe choice 6 own choice well this happened a couple of days ago and just had to share the mud magnet which is effie she found a bait diggers hole and wallowed she was pretty pleased with herself we had to laugh at her so that is my motley assortment of photos for may now off to see what you made of this months list hugs barbara at may 24 2018 19 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 28 april 2018 hawthorns scavenger photo hunt well here we are and i was thinking it was earlier than it is hence the late posting of photos so how is april treating you we had spring on a couple of days since last i wrote but back to doom gloom and flippin rain i will not dwell on that subject so here are my photos for this months challenge thanks kate once again for allowing me to join in the words this month 1 swirl 2 rock 3 wood 4 letter 5 balance 6 own choice 1 swirl this is the end paper of a charles dickens novel oliver twist you do not find many books with these marbled end papers these days it reminds me of the beach and the way the sea makes swirling patterns on the sand 2 rock it is not very sharp i am afraid but this is my rock my other half with our old dog we lost last year taken sitting on the rocks at portland in dorset i spent my childhood clambering over these rocks simple joys then and no fear out from morning until dusk 3 wood the bluebell wood at pamphill wimborne dorset i just love this sea of blue with just the hint of maybe sunshine through the trees 4 letter carved letters on a memorial bench we saw on our travels 5 balance this had me wondering what on earth i could do for this one then i remembered these i stitched for halloween a couple of years ago i love getting these out every year 6 own choice the orchids on my kitchen windowsill the large white one has been in flower for 4 years non stop we were given it by my son and daughter in law on their silver wedding anniversary and last weekend they celebrated 29 years together it has been

i shall pop along and see yours see you in april hugs barb at march 30 2018 15 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday 26 march 2018 a catch up from my little corner of dorset so almost at the end of march and a little catch up is called for i hope to be doing the photo scrap hunt at the end of the week so i must try not to duplicate things not once but twice we have had snow this month which for us is most unusual the first time we had freezing rain too which was interesting to say the least a thing i have never experienced and as the rain landed it froze it made for crunchy snow and a slip slidy surface effie did not like it at all she did a great bambi impression it only lasted a day and when we looked out the following morning it was gone the next snowfall we had was more like snow and the grandchildren had a snow day from school and had great fun building snowmen a few pics of snow himself feeding the birds at the start of our first snow fall just a sprinkling then the icy snow which effie did not like at all then we had this my poor tropical plants i think some may have been lost we will see it was a little deeper too this time however a certain little lady thought this better to play in my poor camilla was not sure we decided to walk in the fields before it all melted however look how dark the sky and sea look a certain little lady went for her daily dip brrr silly girl i am not sure if the next photo shows the patterns that were made on chesil beach but i will give it a go no that did not work oh well so that was our snow we will probably be snow free for years now so onto stitching news is this not the cutest thing a new design from madame chantilly i am really looking forward to stitching this then you all know of lizzie kates retirement sally my stitching friend has just finished this and i really liked it she had borrowed it from someone so i thought should i asking himself he said to go for it not wanting to be told twice i managed to get it the three little parts of a little mystery and the buttons beads etc so that is my purchases stitching wise we did pick up this when we went shopping i had wanted to go to the cinema to see it but no one wanted to see it so of course when i saw it yep i had to have it the other one was a book well i expect you have already guessed i have just started to read this one my wips for last week first my flower a day design by carolyn manning i am stitching this on tuesday nights with lainey i do a few flowers usually but not one a day i

the ghost and so the insurance company replaced it under the conditions of the contract here is my new cooker despite all the snow and cold these little flowers have shown their faces not sure what they are i planted little bulbs about november time they are in blue purple white and pink very pretty we did have a bit of a fright this morning i was in the shower just before 8 when i heard the front door open martin had taken effie for her morning walk so i was a bit bothered as to what had happened only to find it was martin back with her she had suffered a slight seizure in the fields oh no not ollie all over again as he had epilepsy so martin took her to the vet as i was still dripping he did give her a full examination and took bloods she has not been herself all day and not wanting
