A stitch in time

Dyed with fallen rose petals and the odd cornflower head

The type of subtle colours I love
I have reached the last day of my fiftieth decade, changes ahead, I don't know. I have just finished working my way through Jude's 'Spirit Cloth 101' so will be looking over at 'What If', one change on the way.

Train travel will be 20 per cent cheaper so maybe I will visit more places. I would love to just take off to Northumberland and Scotland for about a month, on my own, but that is not possible at the moment.



My evening occupation, I have fallen in love with stitching. Once all these pieces are sewn together I will make them into one larger piece.

    These are the golden years Debbie! I love the freedom of being a crone, who would have guessed getting old would be so much fun? as Keith Richards said a few years bback,"Getting old is a fascinating thing. The older you get the older you want to be." have a great birthday!

    Speaking as a crone myself - I highly recommend it. Never felt freer, had a better perspective on life nor enjoyed myself in quite the same way.

      I seem to be joining quite an amazing exclusive/inclusive club. I am still celebrating at the moment, have had a great weekend, thank good ness for red underlining or this might make no sense at all.

    Hi, Debbie. I agree with Mo & Penny about being crones although where I live in Tunisia, things are becoming unstable, when I would like peace--maybe that forces me to keep my edge? Anyway, lovely stitching and I really like your blog header. And welcome to the Diaries!
    best, nadia
