Longing for the cool clear sea water to be sloshing over my toes, listening to my babes as they squeal with delight as another day at the seaside awaits them. Thinking about what to pack up in the picnic and have I got enough towels for wrapping us up all warm and cosy after a dip in the water. The feeling of my skin at the end of the day being sunkissed as I wash away the suncream...
The transition to Autumn is a hard one for me, everyday I read how so many fellow bloggers adore this season, its colour, crisp leaves under foot and homemade soup... why oh why do I only see it as the season that ends my summer..
Indeed I have been a poor blogger as I adjust to this transition, I am nearly there...starting to enjoy the walks in the woods while the children kick up the leaves. Nearly there at finding yet another new rhythm to my daily family routine. With a college course, extra study time and 'Dotty Red' keeping me happily busy, also changes for the children, the first time they have had to have childcare, dinners that are sometime thrown together at the end of a busy day, not been able to spend time chatting and more time just doing...
Yes changes all round, forgive me whilst I adjusted to this and I promise, if only to myself, I will get back into blogging, I will find a time that allows me the creative space to witter on about creative living...A blessing my way as the summer returns for a few days... off to the beach and time to play in the sea... Have a great weekend and I thank you from my heart for bearing with me.
Felt cat pins for winter coats and woolly sweaters...actually I have had a bit of a run on playing with my felt, I have a supplier of lovely mixed wool felt and made a little stash so when the evenings end early because of no day light, to chase the blues away I have been cutting, sewing, adding beads, little eyes, some stuffing and pins... results next week....;)

Those kitty pins are adorable, Suzie! No worries... be around when you want to me. We'll be here. ;o) ((HUGS))
Have a lovely weekend and pretend it's summer all over again. Such a busy time for you, you must take each day as it comes and spend time with your children, not worrying about blogging. That can wait until you're ready.

You just love the beach and that's okay. I have a friend the same way. She actually just got divorced from her husband of 31 years. She wanted to return to where she loved to be.....not the only reason......but I don't blame her. I love the fall......but I do like to visit the beach. I also love snow.
Your kitties are cute.
I have missed you Dotty Red.
Hope you'll be back again soon.
Just think of this as time to reflect on the lovely days of Summer and look foward to the next ones. Autumn and Winter have their special days too - cosying up with the children on the sofa with hot chocolate and cake after a bracing walk. Being home with Mum is great but childcare broadens their horizons and adds a new dimension to the righ tapestry of life - and contrary to Jamie's view, turkey twizzlers never killed anyone (as far as I know). Time is precious, just take time to enjoy the moments that do pop up - there are plenty but sometimes you just have to look a bit harder. Keep your chin up, petal x
