can you hear that?






i know... isn't silence lovely....?


not that i don't adore a house of lovely mad happy kiddos & cousins...
but i'm a little worn out...
i need a bit of space after a full house of sandy visitors...
i need some space by myself & then with my kiddos...some *us* time...
without the balance of other children...


yesterday i did what i always do when i need a little *down time*...
i created...i sewed yards & yards of bunting...
i cut out orders & i drank way too much lots of tea...
i did the laundry with a big old satisfied grin on my face... {yep it's my vice i know!}
& i listened to classical music on the BBC...
i wonder if i can take the BBC home with me to oz one day?


it was cold & wet...
& i thanked the weather gods {a rare thing in old blighty!} for making me feel justified in staying indoors...away from any bigger jobs...any socialising...

& then i realised that i had sewn all day...
& washed all day...
& had peace & quiet all day...
& i smiled...
& i also noticed that i have 200 lovely people who have enjoyed a moment of my peace with me...
a moment of my little life on this little blog...
when i reached 20 i thought in wonder why would these people come back...?
when i reached 100 i thought... i love this sharing blogging world...
but now i'm just thankful & , no doubt because i'm a little tired, i'm just very quiet & happy...


so thankyou for your friendship...
thankyou for sharing your lives with me...
& for letting me share mine with you...




when we moved to ol'blighty from australia...from the beaches to the countryside, i didn't dream of a whole world of new friendships...
i had my british besite- met early in this moving saga- & i was content...
but i love the part of my life that is here with you...
i love that you let me rave...& talk to much...& post endless photos from our village life...




so i want to share my happy quiet creative day with you...
i want to make someone some lovely bunting for christmas...
you don't need to do a single fancy thing...
just pop in & say hi...share a thought with me...
tell me your fave colours...
are you neutrals & whites...
are you french stripes...
are you vintage florals...
let me know if you're a beach or country lover...
that's it...
this is a thankyou from me to you...

xox



...i will let the kiddos draw the *special person* from their christmas stocking next week...
