Things as they stand

I feel to have dropped off the blogging radar recently. Sorry. Hopefully have my blogging mojo back.
Those who know me, know I recently have been through a rubbish time. It has taken a bit sorting out in my head and I've made some changes. On the positive side I have rediscovered my love of crafting and have picked up both the crochet hook and knitting pins again, fallen back in love with gardening and have started volunteering in a walled garden, all this plus the incredible support of my family and friends - I am starting to feel whole again. Thank you x

With my new found crafting drive and a birthday gift to make, I roped Himself in and asked him to cut four slate mug mats (bless him - he does put up with a lot!)
 He not only cut them (with the noisiest stone cutter imaginable) but he rounded off the corners and bevelled the edges too!

A morning mug of tea with a friend and her visiting pheasant family supplied the inspiration...

Sitting at my table, listening to music,

I found time soon flew by 

... and by the end of the afternoon, 

I had four little slate mug mats,

ready for a special friend's birthday :)

 

Oh yes, the little 'anti-scratch-feet', they just had to be heart shaped :)

Was she happy?

Oh, I think so:)

Happy Birthday WildaboutWorld!
