stitching for valentine’s

8 February, 2009
cross stitch

Oh I know it’s oh so commercial but I just love an opportunity for sewing and decorating and celebrating and with all that red …

and pink …

and flowers galore …

how can a girl resist!? 

So, tucked up amongst gently rolling green hills is a wee cottage ..

… a modest establishment where a pair of elderly sisters farm their pigs and chooks …

… and during the heat of the day, sit in the dusty coolness of their family’s ancient windmill, reading, crocheting and reminiscing …

… about all the glorious and warm sometimes secret, sometimes heartbreaking love they have basked (or indeed, wallowed) in over the decades.

Until one day, 

love just took off :-)

p.s. I owe so many of you a note of thanks and friendship - I haven’t turned into an ostrich with her head stuck in the sand, truly!  And I will do my best to remedy this asap. So until then hello! hello! hello! I do hope you’re keeping well and that these strange times are treating you okay.  Good night for now. :-) Lily
