...this week...
my snapshots have shouted out one resounding word
'kindness' of which I've definitely been the most lucky recipient x
♥
My beautiful girls making sure I had the perfect Mother's day
...flowers...perfume...champagne...the best cake (ever!)...
.....whisking away the worries of a difficult week...
♥
An unexpected parcel arriving in the post from Alison of
(maker of beautiful tiny wooden buttons which decorate my little bear jackets and shoes)
I now have my very own custom made needle gauge...
...such a surprise!...
Thank you so much Alison x
(and it now holds pride of place on my work room shelf)
♥
Thank you too blog friends
for taking the time to visit my corner here
and for all the kind comments ...especially recently over those little bear jackets! ;-)
...I do love this creative world we all inhabit x
...and then...by chance yesterday...
on my Instagram travels I came across this quote
which summed up my thoughts this week...
'Kindness - that simple word.
To be kind - it covers everything, to my mind.
If you're kind that's it.'
Roald Dahl
Happy New Week All

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that it has been a tough week, dear Susan. A little kindness goes a long way...I'm glad you have been spoilt by your girls. Our blogging community does always give us some cheer even during the most difficult of times. Loving all your photos and your sweet dolls. Take care, hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteI love love this blog and your work and photos--you always add a bit of beauty to my day when I see your blog--
ReplyDeleteI really want to knit one of these dolls, or bears, or rabbits--I just don't don't know where to start--I do have lots of knitting needles--but really am not sure what kind of yarn to buy?? and is one of the body patterns simpler that another for starting???
I love kindness and I always try to be kind to everyone I meet--
enjoy the moments, diane
Thank you so much for all and Happy April ~ you are loved ~
ReplyDeleteHappy April to you, too, Susan! And I love your quote.. kindness really is what we should all strive for. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely Mother's Day. I love that quote too xx
ReplyDeleteSorry you had s difficult week , hoping that improves. Lovely photos as always . And your own needle gauge !
ReplyDeleteThere is a bit of accumulated evidence that what some folks forecast about this Fire Rooster year in the lunar calendar might have some basis.
ReplyDeleteAll the more reason to remember the importance of kindness! I am so glad to be able to visit with you both here and over on IG. xo
What a candy filled post, love the little dolls cardigan's will you be selling the pattern soon ?
ReplyDeleteSorry about your difficult week, I think we all get them from time to time.
Always look forward, bad weeks never last.
Kindness is a wonderful word , I always try and make someones day by just saying something nice to them.
I love to give , you get so much back when you give , spread kindness and your life will be filled with love.
Thank you and it's so very true x ... The little jacket pattern is complete but my dad has sadly been very unwell...I'm hoping to have a little more time and list the pattern at the end of this week ♥ xx
DeleteDearest Susan, kindness is the best daily medicine, nourishment, garment and gift we could ever give away. How LOVELY are your photos that are gentle (they speak to me too!) and the gifts from your friend. I too received two darling tokens of kindness in the mail this week. Enjoy your APRIL!
ReplyDeleteKindness is a wonderful thing isn't it and it is so simple. Just a little word or hug, or kindness, makes such a difference. Glad for you that life has been kind to you!
ReplyDelete`so crafty.I am sure the fabric exchange has so many choices of fabric for this kind of project.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely quote. I think we often don't realize how much the tiniest kindness might mean to someone else. I hope you have continued to be filled with it.
ReplyDeleteOoh thank you so very much everyone ♥ xx
ReplyDeleteGreat news!!! 😍😍🙏
