Finding joy...

I've found, doesn't have to be that difficult. Yet, here it is a week into May and I've been so busy, I feel a little grumpy. What? No, that cannot be! I'm going to slow down, relax and remember all the wonderful things that have given me joy this first part of May.


"Garden shopping" with a friend. No, this is not my garden...heavens, I wish it were! It's that of Steve Hess of From the Summer's Garden. He makes and sells the most wonderful garden accessories and stones.

With all the rain we've had this season, the hosta are crowding out most of the weeds. Now that's a joy!


Oh joy, the fairies are arriving!





I think it is safe to say I've been busy in the garden...not to mention, attending a concert with the "jewel", birthday dinner with son and his family (and of course, my sweetie), lots of hugs from the little students and an overnight with the grandgirls. My goodness there is certainly no room for the grumps!!
May you find joy in your days...Happy Mother's Day!

One of my favorite expressions (it's on a plaque in my kitchen) is this:
"Happiness must be grown in ones own garden" and
I do think you've got that one down pretty well!

Bowled over...

With the thought anyone would stitch a design over and over...let alone seven times!  This is not my stitching and I normally don't share the stitching of others.  Although, I did finish the witch seven times.  No, I won't stitch a bowl of wee witches, but I would stitch more than one if I knew who the designer was. Do you stitch a design more than once?

What to do. . .

Blog, stitch, finish work?  I have no idea where to start. My world is spinning with change.  Trying to keep up and not knowing where to start.  Turning the page of the calendar was an eye-opener for sure.  2018. . .really?  Where did 2017 go, not to mention the last 3 years?! Life is what you make it and I'm going for love, joy and kindness.  Hopefully, that will include saying hello on occasion to my blog friends. How about you?  What are your plans for 2018?
