Mothers Day #Etsy

We have already had Mothers Day in the Uk but for the rest of the world it is 11th May, just over 2 weeks away.
If you haven`t got something for your Mum, then it could well be time that you gave it some thought. To help you I have put lots of gift ideas on here today, things that your Mum might like.
Mothers are people that we often don`t appreciate until they are no longer with us. We tend to take them for granted assuming there is plenty of time but that`s not always the case. So make the most of Mothers Day and spoil your Mother in appreciation for all that she does and will, no doubt, continue to do.

ENJOY!!!

Mothers always do so much
with a gentle kind loving touch.
They care for us through the years
often, not without some tears.
They guide us through thick and thin
cheering with each and every win.
When things go wrong there they are
soothing words and a hug never far
away when we need it most of all
picking us up whenever we fall.
They do their very best to guide us
standing at our back without a fuss.
How far would you go for you Mum?
Think back to how far you have come.
Mum`s deserve the very best
and a day to have a rest.
So on her special Mothers Day
she might wish for, even pray
to be taken out for lunch or dinner
try that and you`ll be on a winner.
So spoil her, push out the boat
and you`ll be sure to have her vote!!

Tick Tock #Etsy

I was curious about what sort of clocks were about on Etsy after seeing a very pretty one the other day. I knew I would find a lot but I was amazed at people`s ingenuity. I hope you like them too.

we are going to the theatre tonight to see Mama Mia in London, a Mothers Day gift for both their Mothers from my daughter and son in law. I can`t wait to see it as I really love the film. It`s what I call a feel good film because at the end of it you feel on top of the world.
I love the music too it just makes me want to sing and dance, but don`t tell my daughter that.
Yesterday I was busy working on a pattern. I had done all the writing and was at the make the item and photograph as you go along stage.
I got it done and all the photos edited, so now it`s just the putting words and pics together.
Then I will have to get on with the many more patterns I have written down in rough.

Time always races by
on a whisper and sigh
however hard you will
it never stands still.
Time steadily marches on
now it`s here, now it`s gone.
Good times are soon past
and bad times don`t last.
A big cause of strife,
the timing of our life.
Rushing out the gate
worrying about being late.
Diving through the door.
Just what is it all for?
Slow yourself right down
smooth away that frown
Stop and smell the roses
ask questions that life poses!!

Birds of a Feather #Etsy

Birds today, just because I love to see them. And of course it`s spring so they are more noticeable in the garden, busily grabbing anything to line their nests, working hard to make it comfortable. I love watching them busily going to and fro. It always amazes me the amount they can carry in their beaks when they have to.

Yesterday was the last day of the school holidays so I took my youngest two grandsons into the city for a wander and then to the cinema. It wasn`t a very nice day weatherwise, too wet to go to the park or play in the garden, so a trip on the bus was ideal.
I hadn`t taken them into the city at all over the holidays so it made a nice change.

ENJOY!!!

Birds of a feather flock together
especially when there`s bad weather.
They huddle on branches up close
looking, I think, very morose.
Feathers all wet but still they fly
through the rain in the cloudy sky.
As dawn breaks the chorus starts
even as day and night parts.
Then off they go hunting for food
needing plenty to feed the brood.
The bigger birds always get in first
despite looking like they`ll burst.
The little ones are easily scared
so their menu is often pared
down with not much choice left.
They need to be quick and deft
to snatch the little they can get
especially when it`s very wet.
No insects about very much then
probably all hiding in their den.
I love to hear them, see them fly
soaring and wheeling up so high.
In the garden they make me smile
as they busily stay for a while!

Rain & Rainbows #Etsy

This was done in haste as for some strange reason I had no internet for a while yesterday in the early evening. Could well have been the router because after a while I unplugged it and then reset it and it was fine again.

Didn`t really do much at all yesterday, I had quite a lazy day. I woke up feeling as though I was coming down with a cold. Thumping head, funny throat, etc. In case it was hay fever I tried an antihistamine but that made no difference at all.
I just sat and crocheted and worked out a pattern. I couldn`t do much on the computer as my headache made my eyes sore too. I did take some pics of some abstract paintings I had done the night before. I took pics of the whole paintings and did close ups of small areas too. It`s amazing what becomes visible in close up, very interesting it was.
Not sure what I am doing with those yet.

ENJOY!!!

Red is vibrant, full of heat
also reminds me of red meat.
Yellow is so sunny and light
make`s me smile it`s so bright.
Pink is pretty in all shades
and it`s popularity never fades.
Green reminds us all of spring
the first signs can make us sing.
Orange is bright and cheery as well
loved by youngsters, you can tell
usually it`s the artistic type
who loves all the orange hype.
It seems to help creativity
you can`t sit still and just be
when surrounded by orange bright
it sparks the creative light.
Purple now, what can I say
I love to see it every day.
So rich, glorious and royal
a colour to which I`m loyal.
So many shades that make me feel good
I`d wear them all at once if I could!!

House & Home #Etsy

I saw a cute little house in a treasury the other day and decided that would be a good theme, house and home. I went searching and saw such a variety it was hard to make the choices but I think I ended up with a goodly selection.

After loads of housework I was working on something new I decided to have a go at. I was delighted with my progress and finished one and had another go with variations. That didn`t quite work so I took those out and tried again but it still wasn`t quite right.
Still it doesn`t matter. I will keep at it until I do get it right.

ENJOY!!!

What makes a house a home
pulls us back whe`ere we roam?
It`s made of bricks and cement
but still isn`t necessarily meant
to be a home, as we all know
a home has that special glow.
It`s the part inside
where the folk reside
that gets full of laughter,
love and happy ever after
It`s people that make a house smile
and not the cement, brick and tile.
It is a home for all those inside
because it`s where they want to bide.
Happy together, with joy beyond measure
making wonderful memories to treasure!!
