Air and water...........................

All of these beautiful images are from the art of J Morgan Puett

This week has been strange......the heat has changed so much, water has become warm like air, and the air is heavy and liquid with fragrances, of orange blossom, and rich wet earth, the days slide seamless into the shadows of evening, and the swallows swoop endlessly over the shimmering fields. I feel as if a gift has been given...a hopefulness..... a joy....not tangable, it cannot be held, yet it swirls around my head........ half in air half in water...a mystery...a treasure.

Thankyou so much for all of your lovely comments love Lynn xxx

Image Gibbous Stitches

Some people can create and inspire, leaving me breathless. I covert their originality, and feel awed by the beauty of it Gibbous Stitches are one of many who have found freedom for their souls to soar...........................Long may your soul's soar in the pursuit of the day

A few of my favorite things.......

Boxes covered in French Fabrics, I use the very fragile ones that I can't sew with for this.....

Pretty flouncy underskirts from my local carboot, no!!! I'm far too tubby to get into it, but I could not resist buying it ha ha.......and last but not least...Indian Mangoes bought in boxes of 9 from my local Asian shop...divine.

I'm off to have a girly weekend in London, to see my wonderful and lovely Mom..so have a fabulous weekend too.

Hugs Lynn xxxxxx

Boyfriends feet...



Mr Sea-angels.....

Beloved daughter

Take one, Birthday boy husband (Mr Sea Angels), and one daughter of the heart(Miss Sea Angels + shy boyfriend ) a bottle of bubbly and a picnic, and as far as I am concerned...total bliss.

No!! we never grow up!!..............

Time to paint............


Time to visit fleamarkets and buy bargins........... (I love Katies little birds)



Time to sew lacy door curtains.....................

I love time off work and home, I love playing, I have swopped my childhood toys for slightly different ones, but I still like to play with the same things...... paints , fabric, spending my pocket money on chocolate and ice lollys ha ha. But I notice now the days are all too short to cram in all of the things I want to do, I bet you are exactly the same, now where did I put my tube of white oil......and my chocolate buttons

Happy playing my lovely friends
