Had to laugh when you mentioned mending and how easy it is to put it aside, then of course - out of sight out of mind 😊 Years and YEARS ago, my 4 year old son was helping me fold the laundry. I asked him to put a pair of his jeans aside so I could mend them. He said that I should just throw them away. I was horrified - single mom, working and going to college. You don’t just throw it away. He said that by the time I mended them he would have outgrown them. Out of the mouths of babes. BUT when I did mend patches were embroidered (daughter and I loved the patches, son not so much.) 😂 hippy mom ✌🏼

Sadly my climbing roses have more or less finished now but my runner beans are in flower so fingers crossed for an abundant harvest! Loving the zingy colours, we all need a bit of brightness at the moment. Looking forward to some lazy summer days in the weeks to come. Look forward to seeing how the bowl progresses.

ooo I love runner beans, I'd grow them just for their flowers! Here's to some lazy summer days...and some sunshine to go with the showers! xx

I’m the same with the garden, I don’t know much about it, but I love it ❤I should be chopping some things back now, but it’ll leave bare bits, so I’m putting it off 😊 looking forward to seeing how the bowl evolves, and I love the orange and pink sample, it’s really zingy xx ❤

I know, it's all a balance in the garden isn't it! It's amazing how things can grow back tho', nature is just so abundant at this time of year. Zingy is a great word, love it! xx

I know what you mean about eclipses. The eclipses and solar flares this year have been really rough on me and I am fighting the dark. Astrologers say be can affect some more than others I am hoping it will be other soon.

[@StitchandCreate]

they have been tough esp on some folk, but it will be worth it in the long run for all. I trust you'll find your way through, sending light and love xx

@@StitchandCreate thank you so much for the light and love! Jun 16th I fell and broke my left collarbone so I am unable to enjoy my 2 loves gardening and sewing. It’s been a bit rough to keep my chin up but watching you “mess about” makes me smile. Thank you for sharing your journey with us ❤️
