new life

As I've hinted in my last couple of posts - I'm really reassessing what is really important in life.
The past several weeks have really made me look at things differently.
This morning I watched a calf being born - only 15 minutes old and already able to walk around - pretty tough these calves are from the word go.
And me- well I'm not that good at resting, BUT, I have been creating and have realised that I am blessed to be able to do this.  I've been doing some embroidery - something that I hadn't been really liking or interested in for quite some time -but I've rediscovered my love....and being able to listen to an audio book while doing it is a bonus as well.  This Christmas Wreath stitchery was started more than a year ago - but its now done, quilted and bound and ready to be hung this Christmas.



I have tended to do the stitching during the day, while sitting in the sunshine.  In the evenings I've been knitting a sock (well hopefully it will be a pair of socks one day).  This is the first sock which I finished knitting last night - and I immediately cast on the second one in case the dreaded "second sock syndrome" strikes.
And what is really important at the end of all this - my lovely husband and family - so this morning I made yummy homemade porridge and enjoyed it sitting in the sunshine with Gary.
What more could a blessed girl ask for?
