      Barb’ra 🎶🎵 I was thinking about that song too !! I love that little house, it’s always had that colour scheme for as long as I can remember, the sash windows are original. Just think the park was once farm land, this was the farm house belonging to 3 local large estates. ( those houses remain but are now restaurant/hotel )
      Thank you for you’re lovely words, I just love buttons.

    I recently cut some wonky hearts from an old quilt. I want to start a slow stitch mass make project but haven't had the MOJO to start. I think one of these days I'm going to turn my electronics off and put on some soft music. I can just pick up a heart and have a play. It's been forever since I've done any slow stitching. I have arthritis in my hands now and holding a needle for very long makes it ache, but I've been pondering on an idea so a quiet, no media day with soft music may just be the thing. Thank you Janet!

    a lovely flower pic to trace and colour and add a bit of my own as well. Next Wed we start on a new project. Also Julie has got
    the computer going for You tube so we are going to get some tutorials at the art class as a lot of our members are older (like me)
    but they don't get to the art classes on a Friday. Some People mostly do what they want and sell their art

      @@janetnash Thank-you Janet. It is a great quote, very true for me.🪡 I have been gently stitching with my gold thread, making little slow stitch flowers. Snow has been predicted in the Alpine regions of Victoria today, that's not far from us so it is very cold today, hard to believe snow falling in late Summer ❄☀, good weather though for gently creating indoors. Hope you had a lovely time with Ben. have watched this video a few times...buttons, fabric, stitching, pots of tea, doilies, a walk in nature..."these are a few of my favourite things🎶🎵🎶". Much love to you and dear Freddie🕯🐾
