MEDITATE  - by taking a little time out for yourself each day in May to crochet a motif. Take a picture, upload it to Facebook or instagram and tag it with #motifdaymay.

  3. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time! I am a tiny bit jealous :-)

    Would love to particpate in the crochet meditation but I have a golfer's arm from too much crochet. Sighs...

    Take care

  4. Kate, I enjoyed that little round up and oh how I still love that rustic cubby house and bunting. My daughter would be in heaven with a cubby like that. Have a great weekend...Regards Kathy A, Brisbane

  8. I can't tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog and looking into your very interesting life on the farm. I'm in New York, USA, pretty far from where you are, yet there are so many aspects of your life I can relate to.The crafting and photography are especially fun. You have a beautiful family.

  15. I'm not doing the motif-a-day, but I am with you in spirit Kate as I am doing my Ripple-stripe-a-day. That slow, rhythmic, day-dreamy crochet soothes my soul, I love it so much. I think I could spend the rest of my life making ripple blankets. Have you an idea for your 31 motifs? I could imagine them stiffened and suspended from tree branches, twirling and dancing in the breeze. Lots of love as always xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks so much for stopping by...

I do read every single comment you leave and appreciate it very much, but I should let you know that I can be a wee bit on the useless side when replying to comments, that's just me, everyday life sometimes gets in the way....so I'll apologise now, just in case.

Kate XX
