Text of the page (random words):
longer need them we have lots more space now to breathe we not only have more space but time too cleaning and caring for our home takes a lot less time and energy now can you remember the half hour allotment book that i used to change the way i gardened well i m adopting the same principles in my home too little focused chunks of cleaning and clearing very manageable not overwhelming brilliant sorting through our stuff has also made us look at the way we shop being mindful of how and why we might purchase something we are looking also at the amount of waste we produce and plasticwe consume it s a whole new path we are on i say we it did start out as just me but slowly my husband is joining in the girls have been fantastic at letting go of stuff they are finding the waste thing more difficult little steps i m trying to take things gently with them after all they are genetically programmed to resist change we are even changing what we eat and loosing weight as a result so you could say i m no longer a vintage sheet addict i ve yet to clear out my studio it s my last job to do but you know i no longer feel the need to hoard things so i will keep enough fabric so i can do a few projects and the rest will go none of this has been hard even sentimental things if it s not something i love has gone i ve shed some tears as i ve been sorting but then i ve let go it s been very cathartic liberating but now for something more difficult letting go of this blog vintage sheet addict is no longer relevant to my life it doesn t reflect who i am anymore i would love to share my new life with you and i ve tried my best to start a new blog but no matter how hard i try i ve just not got the intelligence or computer awareness to create a new one everything fails this post has taken ages i m not even sure this will publish it s very important to me that my blog reflects my life and is visually pleasing to me i can no longer access any of my new images and i can t even set up a new blog through blogger every avenue i take has a block i m a big believer in fate so perhaps it isn t the right time for me to blog anymore i hope i can again one day but it has to be simple and not stressful that blogsy app was fab but no longer working so i say goodbye and thank you for your friendship and support i will keep trying and if ever i do manage to set one up i will pop a link on here i am still on instagram but not as much as before i m happy_little_plot should anyone wish to find me i know not many of you use ig i m so glad i ve been able to get back on here one of my biggest regrets was not to say a proper goodbye and let you that i was doing just fine sending my love amanda xxx posted by vintage sheet addict at 01 55 51 comments email this blogthis share to x

saturday 24 september 2016 finding hygge the last few months have been very stressful and i can t see when it will end i know i ve not really been paying the attention to this blog that you my very lovely readers deserve thank you all so much for your support i still have lots of comments to publish on my last post i will over the next few days i m trying to find peace where i can recharge my batteries i treated myself to this lovely book the other day hygge the ultimate way to find comfort strength love and hope during those dark days i m going to take a break from blogging i m not sure how long for i do hope i will be back when things are more settled and less difficult sending you all much love and gratitude for being so good to me amanda xxx posted with blogsy posted by vintage sheet addict at 02 05 22 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday 16 september 2016 notes to my daughter my dearest sweetheart if i could change places with you i would in a heartbeat all i can do is standby and watch as your mind goes faster and faster and your thoughts race towards that imaginary disaster i do know to you however it feels real very real i m trying to do my best for you getting that balance between giving you the love and support you need but letting you also find you re own way through this you see there s really only you who can change the way you feel but we will be there with you every step of the way we are your marathon support team handing out refreshments and encouragements when you are flagging and to that fear in you head well if i could clamber in there and throw out those muddled unwanted thoughts then i would but i can t so you re going to have to fight them you re going to need to stand up against them tell them to sod off that they are lying to you and have no place in your head on this occasion if you feel you need to swear i won t mind i swear at them too next time when you are chatting with your friend and she accidentally spits on your face and a tiny drop lands in your mouth stay calm it s ok it s not going to hurt you or make you ill in fact thank your friend that tiny exchange of bodily fluid means your body is now making extra antibodies making you extra healthy hooray for any bits of bodily fluid that comes your way eventually there will be someone you really want to kiss i m hoping this will be quite a few years away but it will happen and there s a lot of bodily fluid exchange in a kiss think of this as preparation for that day find your happy place your calm space find somewhere that makes you forget all your worries and woes somewhere where those silly thoughts can t find you you are very creative i m sure you will find a place and it will be somewhere that s amazing mine as you know is my garden and studio feel free to join me anytime i m always grateful for an extra pair of hands for weeding we love you with all our heart your dad and i we love the very bones of you we love your creativity your very kind heart the way you make us laugh out loud every day we love that beautiful smile of yours and the way it makes your eyes twinkle we just love you it s makes us sad and angry when we see you like this but it doesn t have to last forever you have the power within you to change believe in yourself love mum xxx thank you to everyone who commented on my last post thank you for sharing thank you for your support learn to chill like otto xxx posted with blogsy posted by vintage sheet addict at 01 18 14 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday 13 september 2016 creating happy we can only really be the creators of our own happiness our own peace we can try to instill happiness and peace in others we can wear ourselves out doing so but we can t really make others be happy we can t give them peace it s something they have to find for themselves this is a very difficult thing to come to terms with especially if you are a fixer if you are the sort of person who feels the distress of others absorb it into your soul like it was your very own pain it s very hard to stay strong when you are feeling spent when you ve depleated all your energy trying to lift someone else s spirit to fix them in our house we have little demons who visit us at night when it s dark when we feel at our most vulnerable they torment us with visions of horrible things don t let us rest they steal out sleep they steal our peace they cause us to twist in pain and panic to be truly terrified so terrified that even the person you feel closest to can t help you being a parent can be full of awe and wonder you can t quite believe you ve bought this incredible human being into the world it can also be the most difficult challenging job on the planet it can make you feel like the biggest failure totally utterly rubbish as parents we don t talk that much about our young people and about the mental health issues they may have maybe it s because we feel guilty after all it must be our fault we must be doing something wrong parents are supposed to make their children happy we are supposed to be able to banish demons aren t we be the ones to give peace this message is given loud and clear if a child is sad troubled it s the parents fault it s my fault i can t banish the demons as hard as i try i m exhausted fighting them night after night and yes as a parent i feel a failure once again we will turn to the professionals and their coping techniques childhood mental health services are stretched to breaking point in the uk our children s mental health issues are much bigger than we let on my hope is that one day this will pass with maturity some new strategies and with oodles of love and support that eventually i will pass on this message that whilst it s good to have people around us who love us we really are the creators of our own happiness our own peace so right now i m sat in my beautiful peaceful garden enjoying the clear september light and warm sunshine and i m listening to the birds i m creating my own peace my own happiness i m recharging my batteries amanda xxx posted

supported the raspberries they look much better now i ve pruned out this years fruit bearing canes and any week ones just as monty told me too i ve made homemade pizzas for my girls the first day back after the summer holidays needs a treat doesn t it caught up with friends one of whom came armed with beautiful sunflowers marvellous i ve enjoyed the warm sunshine whilst changing the veg beds and planting out autumn crops these were bought from rocket gardens they have 20 off this weekend too trying to identify unlabelled squash oh and otto turned one happy weekend folks amanda xxx posted with blogsy posted by vintage sheet addict at 01 51 21 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday 29 august 2016 down the garden path august oh my goodness august already this year is running away far too fast it s been a hit and miss kind of summer here in the uk but in the last few days of summer the heat has arrived sunny and warm my honeysuckle has started to flower it s romping away initially i was really happy with my wiggly box hedge but as the summer has progressed i m thinking it s missing something colour height interest a few of the boxes aren t in the best of health they seem to be prone to disease and just aren t growing so out they will come i just love the agriframe arches so shall get two more put one half way down the path and another at the bottom of it now that my pension pot has been spent i m afraid i have got to do what i ve always done before and save yuk can t tell you how lovely it s been just to get something straight away anyhow i m back in the real world maybe santa will bring me one i will grow something beautiful and colourful and scented up and over the arches then train them along the fence it will give me something pretty to look at as i m drinking my morning coffee on the bench the raised beds on the top garden have been wonderful some of the plants are going over i ve chopped a few back and got a couple of extra autumnal plants to plug the gaps the sweet peas are now blooming it s took some getting there it s been a little too crowded so i will need to rethink next year and perhaps a little too much verbena so friends will be getting some freebies again the vegetable garden has just exploded this month it s done far better than i could have imagined my birdie garden products raised beds look beautiful well you can t really see them anymore and the no dig method really seems to produce great compost to grow vegetables in the cutting patch has produced countless bunches of flowers i ve given away so many as well as having vases full in the house i ve really really enjoyed growing my own flowers this year it s not something i ve really done before but i will again i ve been buying from sarah raven too this year and i ve been really impressed with the quality they are on the more expensive side so i don t think i will be getting as much next year but i think munckin pumpkins have been superb and the zinnias amazing i ve had a few plants from rocket gardens they are a great company and the plants have grown beautifully i would really love one of their mini constant gardens hmm birthday pressie perhaps my sunflowers are at least 9ft tall i want to save some of the seeds this year to eat as well as sow next year i m not sure how s best to do this does anyone have any tips watering hasn t been too much of a problem this year we ve had plenty of rain i always fill up my watering cans when it rains then once a week i ve been feeding the pots and beds with comphrey tea they seem to be appreciating it i ve not really been supporting my plants very well as you can see the raspberries have flopped my last bit of pension pot has gone on a sturdy frame for these hopefully in the september update i will be able to show you monty don pruned his summer raspberries this week so i think i know what i m doing yes everything is growing at a rapid pace i ve had very few weeds in the raised beds which has been fabulous it s making gardening very easy exactly what i had hoped for my thoughts are now turning to autumn it will be sad to see some of these plants die but that s the circle of life really that s what gardening is all about we plant we tend we harvest thank you garden for bringing me such joy so jobs for september continue to harvest and eat decided on which fruit trees to plant autumn is the best time to plant bare rooted trees which will be more cost effective too i m going to get a few autumn crops to grow probably buy some plug plants just so i can keep gardening through to christmas i m really feeling the benefit of gardening physically and well as mentally sadly i won t have my greenhouse to hide out in during the colder months but i still need to be out in the garden as much as possible as usual i m joining in with sarah and quite a few others hop over for a look if you get the chance i ve been sent a couple of free things from some lovely bloggers this month so will share them later in the week amanda xxx posted with blogsy posted by vinta...
