A trip down memory lane...

Dear All...
Thankyou once again for all your kind comments...well the last week has been spent deep in thought & walking basically after travelling down to cornwall for julie's farewell last monday.
We travelled down on the sunday & had to return home monday as mr h had work commitments & unfortunatly not everyone is so understanding.

I have spent most days walking the countryside were we live & enjoying the sunshine too...love of my life's little legs are now quite a bit shorter,bless him!
On saturday i decided to take a trip down memory lane & go too west mersea island,which is were my friend julie & colin lived for a while...i felt i may feel nearer to her. i went & saw there dear 'little barn' & rembered happy times we shared with them there.
Then i set off for a walk along the stoney beach,looking for sea treasure & enjoying the warmth of the sun.

Julie was a very talented artist & seascapes were her favourite subjects to paint & was surrounded by inspiration in mersea...wonderful sea & boats.

Tidal moorings..

Anchors away...

This poor little boat looks like it has been forgotten about..

Masts on the mud flats...

Heading out to sea...

Sand,sea & sun...

Buoys...

This little boat brought a smile to my face..'happy 2'...

House boats...

Parked up on the jetty...

Through the reeds...

Lets set sail...

On the beach...

Oyster catchers on the shore...

Waiting to be set free...

Too the caostpath....

I came home with warm happy memories & a bag full of sea treasure....x

Thankyou...

These sweet little daffs are to say thankyou to all of you that left me a comment & your very kind thoughts after loosing my friend...spring flowers including daffs especially ones from the isles of scilly were julies favourites. x

To loose a friend....

I am feeling very sad & blue at the moment....as on easter sunday after a long brave battle with the most awful disease 'cancer' my dear friend julie lost her fight.
Julie had been so very brave & had fought all the way. I feel so sad...it is so hard to imagine not seeing her face again,hear her voice or being able to pick up the phone & talk about the latest goings on...we shared some passions. One of them being cornwall,along with many others including anything to do with the sea & coastline.
I thankyou julie as you inspired me so much in my life & have made me in many ways what i am & love today.
I will miss you dearly..why do we always leave it to late to tell people how we feel about them?!!

Thankyou for you messages of concern as i have been away from blogland for a while..i will do a post soon with those pics of cornwall.xx

I'm Home...

Hello my lovelies!!
I'm home after a lovely week away but where have i been?
Have a guess,it might not be where you think going by that lovely turquoise water?!
I have lots of pics to show you...once i have fought my way through the washing & ironing & re-stocked the cupboards!!
Bye for now. xx

Mothers day...

Mothers day is fast approaching & a very important day of the year it is too!
So i have been busy making cards & gift tags to sell in my unit down the mill,as usual i have left it until the last moment.
I just seem to have been so busy lately what with one thing or another...i hope you like them.

The tags are decorated with scraps of fabric,lace,old buttons some with old postcards & wire hearts etc.

I should have taken the pics before i put the clear sleeves on them....some of the tags complement the cards.

I made simular ones for valentines...

I might start up my own etsy shop to sell my cards through instead of putting them all in my unit down the mill as it can sometimes be a bit slow & people dont always appreciate the time that goes into making these sorts of things do they?

Im not to sure about these next too..i find them a bit creepy what with the old pics.

I suppose you could always send them to your mother in law....hehe...naughty me!!

I like these two..i enjoy using my rubber stamps.

I still have to make my mums & mr h's...but i have a idea in mind of what i want to do.

I have ordered my lovely mum some of these wonderful daffs from the scilly isles..i think they are narcissus this time of year,well you know what i mean.

I have sent them to my mum before & she really loves them from here:

What do you have planned for your precious mums?

I have just whipped up a batch of these scrummy little darlings.....

choci chip muffins....yummy in my tummy!!

Have a great weekend. xx
