Monday 2 

After school today I drove out of town for Arlo's piano lesson. The wind was pushing the heavy clouds quickly across the sky, and they were gathering together in protest over the sea. I had to stop and take a photo.

I've committed to spending the next few weeks doing other work during the day, while the children are at school. Some friends of mine own a cafe, and needed someone to help for a while. So I think my blogging will be sporadic for about a month, until that has finished. I hope to still update my etsy shop once a week on Wednesdays, as I can, but probably with fewer items. I'm looking forward to doing some different work for a bit, but will no doubt miss my embroidery threads…

Hope you have a happy week.

    A change is as good as a rest, so the saying goes, so maybe you’ll come back completely rejuvenated and with lots and lots of new embroidery ideas!
