ever felt un loved .......

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials,

The most money...or the most awards.

They simply are the ones who care the most


''Be Yourself. Everyone Else Is Taken!"

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything they have.

Mothers Day .......


Mother's Day...
a time for warm thoughts
and fond memories,
for expressing
the feelings and words
that often go unspoken,
for letting
the mothers in our lives know
that they are loved
and appreciated -
always.

Small but cute

While glancing though a few blogs last night on Fiona's post,  she shared a site that has a recipe (instructions) for making these delightful small thread catcher. So  last night while DH was watching football I made one  so quick and easy and a fab idea for that little extra gift in a swap or school or quilt day fundraiser. ( I Hand Stitch my sides together)

Today has seen me playing the domestic queen......Had a busy week at work ... so I did have a bit of extra time in bed than usual, before head down and bum up got stuck into the dusting, vacuuming and washing before tackling the WINDOWS......such a joy joy off a job (chuckle)    

Wow that's a whole day there............. now off to have a cuppa  with DH ,
before it is that time to consider what to have for the evening meal.............. hope that I  will be able to spend a bit of time in the quilt room tonight  to put together a few more Dresden plates.

Take care   - Cheers Marc
