Home Again

 

It's good to be home again!

I sometimes wish that getting here

was as easy as clicking my heels and saying

"There's no place like home"

You can tell who watched the Wizard of Oz too many times...can't you!?!

So.... home to hubby who is so delighted to see me back. 

I don't know where he thought I'd been but it's always good to have a welcome hug!

*******************

I have so many projects I want to start

and places that I have been saying for years that I want to revisit...and I am determined that some of them will be this year.....

I haven't visited the Botanical Garden of Wales,

which is only about 50 miles from here,

since the year 2000!

I also visited the gardens at Aberglasney at about the same time.

They were part of a programme 'The Hidden Gardens of Wales'  I know that they have done so much more work there and really want to go see!

The thing holding me back is my mobility

but this has to be the year!

***************************

While I was away I looked for some material to cover that kitchen chair but really found nothing

Would Ravelry be the place to look?

I've not really done much with Ravelry

so don't know whether it would be what I need!

My mother gave me a well used little tablecloth that her sister (who died 18 months ago) had embroidered in cross stitch.

I think it's lovely!

She also gave me this stand (that she said she has had for a while and used for standing

a photo on)

While we were away

I was really not tempted to buy anything

....only these little fused glass coasters that I bought at a craft shop near Dartington.

I'm afraid I'm not that good at displaying things to best effect!

That any better??

By the way, Mum was absolutely delighted with the framed embroidery!

Also, I showed her your comments about her knitting and she wanted to thank you all very much for being so kind!
