Springtime sunniness...

 

 

Hello everyone...

How are you all today?

I can't believe it is the middle of January already!
Where has time gone?
 

So far this year has been kind to little 'ol Tilly Rose...

I've had so many 'To Do Lists' for so long that haven't seemed to see the light of day but having taken some time off from my workshop I have manged to tackle soooo much

.... crochet projects that have been stashed away in fabric bags sitting next to my sofa for 'when I have time...'

 

...organised craft bits and bobs into their new homes...

 

.... finishing cutting up patchwork pieces for my many projects...

Gosh. I am so surprised!

I'm feeling much more like my old self again which is simply wonderful.

The only thing putting a small dampner on my days is this dreary season.

I am suffering from this horribly grey time of year and longing for some lighter days...
Today has been an icing sugar day of a slight snowfall but generally it has been
a miserabley grumbly grey.

 

The gloom and doom of winter begins to get to me every year by the middle of January, early February. It is damp and miserable, often cold and dreary and very grey, grey, grey!
Everywhere seems to be so dark for most of the day also.
No nice natural light can escape!
 

 As part of my Fibromyalgia I suffer from a severe deficiency of Vit D and although I do take a supplement it isn't the same as a blast of cheery sunshine.

 

I'm ready for the cheerful blooms of cherry blossom or the sunniness of the buttery daffs to bob their heads and say hello as I pass on by....

 

 

I am longing for the moment when I wander down my garden path again

and can be greeted by the little beauties who hide among the cracks...

... or pick a posy of colour to place by my bedside to remind me of
sunnier days to come...

 

How about you my lovelies?

Does winter affect you in any way?

 

Mother Nature is a huge inspiration for me when it comes to my designs.

I love to include her beauty in my work....

but I have to say I prefer her warmer days to her coldness.

 

So I can't wait for the happier, rosier days when it is a little brighter to go out with my little camera again.

It sounds silly but I want to enjoy putting my washing on the line and watch it dry happily in the breeze...

I want to walk past my lavender and brush my hand over the top to smell the beautiful aromas...

But most of all I want to feel energised and refreshed when I open the curtains in the morning instead of the dreary, fed up feeling that greets me instead!

Don't get me wrong hunnies, I still feel a happy bunny inside myself.

I think it is always important to smile however you may feel!

I hope you have a lovely day.

Thanks so much for dropping by and saying hello...

 

 

Tilly
