An impromptu gift to myself. I used some of my inheritance money to buy a beautiful pearwood tenor. It sounds so beautiful. But I'd still rather have my mum around. #grief #musicheals #creativityinmanyforms "Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs." #haworth #brontΓ«s #haworth Spotted in Bradford's Morrisons ... 😊 So glad to see this message this morning. It's something I need to remember. πŸ’š #Repost @texturizeyoureyes (@get_repost) ・・・ #oneyearwiser #2017 #radical #hope #possible #dispair #convincing #raymondwilliams I received the most amazing box of rainbow-themed goodies today, from the most amazing bunch of people. I had no idea they were plotting! Thank you so, so much to @mamajambury and the geeks. You've made my day. 😚 #internetfriends #makesomeonesmile #lookforrainbows #actofkindness So, I'm in the middle of painting my daughter's new bedroom. I needed a break, and the acoustics of a bare room are so lovely. I nearly didn't post this. I'm dressed for painting, my playing leaves much to be desired, and I can't properly capture the sound on this gadget in any case. But what the hell. Here's a bit of Schumann. Complete with painty fingers, and a blood blister from where I trapped a finger in a paint roller! #sounflattering On the blocking wires. Can't wait to unite these two. #hyggecal2017 #scheepjeshyggecal #blocking #crochet #virka #hyggecal backing fabric washed and drying. Somehow Friends, Love, Joy and Laughter seemed appropriate for this CAL. #scheepjeshyggecal #hyggecal2017 #nearlydone #healingwithcraft #hooktoheal Evolution of a herb spiral, March to May this year. 😊🌱 #permaculture #localfood #growyourownfood #healing Improvised sun shade. Pleasing. 😎🌈 I love these colourful trees. A beautiful sight on the way home. πŸ’š People are so lovely. πŸ’— Thank you @nuttyzebra #internetfriends #chocolateflowers #happypost Today was a great day of learning permaculture principles at the local market garden. It's such a wonderful, calming space. #alwayslearning #permaculture #permaculturedesign #sustainability #localfood #greenspace I predict chive flowers for tomorrow. 🌱 Fab day out in Saltaire yesterday with one of the highlights being getting to try these amazing Paetzold recorders (yep, square recorders). Such a beautiful, full, deep sound. If only I had a few thousand quid spare. :D #earlymusic #recorderplayer #recorders #paetzold Today would have been my mum's 70th birthday. We celebrated with her early this year, in March. I wanted to get her something she'd like, but there wasn't much she could do by then. I found this in our local museum (@valeanddownland ). It's handmade by a glass artist. She had such a sunny room at the hospice I thought this would look beautiful hanging in the window. As it turned out, she didn't open her eyes that weekend, but I know she would have loved it, and now I have it to remember her by. Happy birthday, mum. #loveyoualways #handcrafted #memories #grief #newlife I needed serious yarn therapy today, so week 10 is done. See my matching hygge hook, too! It's one of my @fleabubsbylala collection. #scheepjeshyggecal #hyggecal2017 #teamjewel #crochet #crossstitchoncrochet #hooktoheal Time to start rebuilding after the horror of the last few weeks. So an alfresco breakfast of gluten-free porridge sweetened with local honey and topped with natural goats' yogurt, raspberries and almonds. Complemented with green tea and morning pages. #replenish #newlife #grief #mumwouldbeproud #hyggecal2017 week 8 finished. Pleased with my colour substitutions. #scheepjeshyggecal #teamjewel #crochet #crossstitchoncrochet
