February in pictures................

It's been a while since I've created a monthly mosaic and to be honest I didn't think I had much to share but February was busier than I remembered:-

• crochet garland making
• pottery painting
• practice crochet teaching
• a lot of cake making
• crochet flower crafting
• grey room decorating
• birthday celebrating
• birthday flower receiving
• a multitude of heart making
• lovely wool shopping
• eco garden visiting
• grandchildren playing

I have remembered why I starting making monthly mosaics, they really cheer me up. Sometimes I feel I do very little with my life and achieve even less, especially when I'm unwell but looking back over the month I have done lots of lovely things. I'm also so very very lucky to have such an amazing family - what would I do without them.

On the health front my vertigo is much better and I have really appreciated all your get well wishes. Unfortunately my M.E. isn't very good at the moment so I really need to pace myself as my first crochet workshop is planned for later this week. I'm hoping that if I continue to rest for periods throughout the day I will manage the 2 hour session on Thursday evening. I am very excited and also a little nervous but I am sure it will be great fun and I can't wait to meet my first group and share my love of crochet.

Another big thank you to all my friends in blog land, and hello to my new followers and goodbye to a couple who have decided to go (I hope I'm not getting boring)

June mosaic.....................

Hard to believe another month has gone by and it's time for the third post in my mosaic series - June in pictures..............

Not the most creative of months, but it has been filled with flower arranging, bedding plants, gardening, cooking, baking, sleep over's, sports day, birthday celebrations, a visit to London and of course afternoon tea. So another fun and family orientated month - I am so lucky.

I haven't set up a series link this month but a big thank you to Jennifer for joining in with May's mosaic, although if anyone does want to join in I am happy to set the link up next month just send me a message.

I hope you are all well and thank you again for supporting my blog.
