We just never know what is going to happen in our lifetimes and what a year 2020 has served up to the world ! We have all been in it together, they kept on reminding us here in Australia, of this and in Melbourne, Victoria we have spent most of the year in isolation and even curfews were set to keep everyone at home !
The year went by quickly I think, I’m always happy to be at home and content with my lot in life, though of course like most, have missed seeing friends on a regular basis, missed hugs, missed conversation, but have enjoyed doing other things with friends that were born out of not being able to be together, FaceTime and zoom catch-ups with some friends that have been so welcome ! New things due to technology.........................
sewing wise I have created a couple of new patterns and started a few more projects that will be ongoing, one is my take on Syncopation by Margaret Sampson George that a group of us have started a couple of months ago ! The following pictures are mine already to be hand appliquéd onto my piece of natural linen
these are all made up of 3/4inch hexagons and 1 1/4inch diamonds and such fun to make each and everyone of these little gems !
I have posted lots of pics of my start for you to enjoy hopefully !
this morning I went out into my little strip of garden at the back of my home, it gives me som much pleasure to look out on and everything I think just grows on the love that I have for it ❤️ These days due to mobility problems from my chronic health issues, I can’t do much myself except keep the water up to it and sit on the little deck while friends help me on some occasions to just do some of the things my head says I want to do, but physically I just can’t, so frustrating !!! Here are some pics I took a couple of hours ago, lots of them .................
I love my succulents in all there forms and patterns and colours that they so willingly give at all times of the year
and my hydrangeas are just amazing, it’s like walking in a hydrangea forest, they are 8 to 9 feet tall and so giving of their simple beauty ! I love ❤️ them !
to all of you who still enjoy my blog posts, thankyou so much for keeping in touch this way and for your concern about me when I leave it too long between posts !
A New Years resolution, I can’t promise to be more productive in posting more, but I’ll try, that’s all we can do, is try ! Good wishes to everyone for a better year for the world and for us all personally, I’m sure there are still tough times ahead for many, but hope is on the horizon for dealing with COVID-19 and the way all countries manage it and hope is all we can cling to, so that life as we knew it returns to what we we think of as normal. Good wishes to you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Lizzie
