My Giveaway Win At Michelle's...

Late last month Michelle Ridgway had a Giveaway to celebrate her 400th blog post, and lucky me I am the winner of this gorgeous parcel of goodies...


... hand-painted bird magnet, pretty spiral notebook, stunning handmade card, floral fabric fq, and a copy of Michelle's book called Stitchery Keepsakes...
Thank You Michelle, and I wish you continued designing success and wonderful blogging.

Last night, I got thinking "What would I do as stress-buster if I did not have my sewing & stitching?"
Right now I have all three of my children experiencing pivotal times in their lives...and therefore a great deal going on in my Motherly Heart... you know... stuff... (Thank goodness mrHS is a good listener!)

Well I have no idea what I would do, I am just so thankful that I have it... to sit and do it... gives me time to think, to appreciate & reminisce, to problem-solve, to plan... so while dealing with some of the tougher times of parenting I am stitching something lovely... go figure!

So what's your stress-buster?

Stitching is so much cheaper than therapy, and better for you than a lot of other things. Hope things improve at your house. X

Hello Anthea,

Yesterday with three adult children at home I went to the library for a break. I was planning to have a cuppa and read the paper and have some quiet time. Well things changed as soon as I walked into the library a young disabled girl was reading the paper, she had a very severe disability and just made noises. Made me realise my own aren't that bad after all and I was so grateful for what I had. I did pick up some wonderful magazines and books so was grateful for that.Enjoy your parcel of wonderfulness from Michelle.

Happy days.
Bev.xoxo

Enjoy Anthea. Sitting quietly stitching is definitely a form of meditation and I think you have a lot of soul sisters doing exactly what you do Anthea....aren't we blessed.

I'm hearing you Anthea... parenting is such hard work sometimes! Without stitching I would be a wreck... it is such a great distraction. Hope things settle down again soon xxx

Lucky you - enjoy those goodies! Stitching is my stress buster.

congrats and my stress buster is sewing, walking the dog and gardening. nothing better to give you time to think things through or to provide a distraction
