Wednesday will be the first day of winter here in Tasmania and believe me it is freezing here all ready. 2 nights this week I have been huddled under a snuggly quilt in front of the fire with my stitching on my lap. Even though it is cold outside it is one of my favourite times of the year for stitching.
I have been working on Block 2 of Berries and Blueberries - I am really enjoying this BOM although I am already 2 months behind LOL
I have also been playing with a few designs that have been in my sketch book for ages - I have no idea what they will become yet
But I am enjoying doing them and will put them aside until the inspiration hits me..........
And spending lots of time with my grandbabies. Here is Madeliene acting all coy sharing her bowl of treats with her beloved "Mimah" Doll. You may remember that this was a doll that I designed about 2 years ago now - Her and Madeliene are inseperable. She is now looking very much worse for wear but is truly loved so that is the main thing !!
Now you all know how much I love sayings........ Whilst away on our little trip a few weeks ago we spotted another wonderful saying which is very apt for me. I am by nature a worry wart when it comes to my family and things that affect our lives and have had plenty of reasons lately to add to the abundance of grey hairs which seem to be sprouting from my scalp at a rapid rate. So I thought I would make the saying into a JPEG Printable to share with you all.
Just right click the image and save it to your computer. I now have this written on the chalk board in my dining room to remind me to keep looking forward and not back.
Have a lovely Sunday.
Hugs - Fee XX

That saying is soooo true.

So funny to hear that winter is coming to your world. We are going on our first outdoor swimming adventure of the summer tomorrow and hoping that it is warmer than the 80 degrees predicted. We are not snuggling under quilts here and very soon we will be wishing for a cool breeze.
Enjoy!
Thanks for those wise words!

Our fire is also crackling away each evening...we have an open fire in the lounge - lovely except for the sparks :( Also experiencing major frosts of a morning, and the most glorious day following....not to mention the gorgeous colours of Autumn. Have a lovely 'Fee Monday' tomorrow. xoxox

Fee your fire looks so comfy and your handwork is beautiful.
I'll have to remember this saying, love it.
It's 90 degrees and climbing so wish for some cooler weather to be back this way.
Love the quote. Think I'll try and stitch it up. Your fire is so inviting. We could use here about now as we had snow yesterday. Nola
