Oh I do like to be beside the sea
?
Except I’m not at the seaside, I’m at home trying to do everything and not getting very far with anything!

If you’re currently trying to juggle your way through the holidays too, I hope you’re surviving. It’s easy to talk to other people, to look on social media and compare all the amazing, involved, expensive things that other people are doing to make their kids summer holidays amazing and feel a bit lacking. And then that 18 f***ing summers post does the rounds and kicks you while you’re down. So I just want to say that if you’re struggling to sort out childcare and just get to the end of the day, there are other people doing that too. It might not make for such glorious photos, but we’re out there too. We’re all just doing our best, and if you care enough to worry about it, the chances are you’re probably doing okay. We’ve got this!

Fresh Seafood

I’m back and ready to start stitching! There will be a new foodie picture tomorrow, but meanwhile here’s a #tbt of a beach slightly closer to home
.
I made my seaside series of pictures last summer and this one is quite special to me as it was one of the first pictures I had made where I attempted stitchy calligraphy (the fresh seafood bit) but this planted a seed of interest and started me thinking about making my hendricks picture (although it would be a few months before I was brave enough to attempt it!) which set me off on a new and exciting path
.
That, and I love that little hut! .
Happy Thursday ??????
