Making me Smile

S and her travelling companion.



The stunning stained glass window in the church we went to on Saturday as they were holding their summer fete.





A poppy growing by the side of a busy main road into town.





A free muffin!





Mum bought this cross stitch kit over a year ago. I started it almost immediately and then stopped. An hours work on Saturday evening and it was complete. Why did I leave it so long?





A freshly used paint tray.


Yep the painting has started.


I began at 9.30 and painted until 2.30. My shoulders ache but it's work the effort so far.





Hope there's lots making you smile today too.

  1. How cute is that first photo! My daughter used to have a rag doll called Pinky (because it was pink) and she left it at a motorway service station .... utter devastation! They posted it back to us, but she never felt the same about it again!
