Family - the simple life...

I was sitting here in my sewing room looking at my inspire board and realising the beautiful old images of my family are what keep me going every day. There is a quote

The family is one of nature's
masterpieces......

I was blessed to grow up on a 72 acre farm in fertile soil of northern NSW's, Australia.. Life was very simple, wonderful animals to play with, a family that cared about the important things and each day there were loads of hugs... You don't realise how important that really is till you become a parent yourself and all the nurturing starts to pay off... The simple joy of smiling and saying hello to a stranger still is so important to me today even though the world in some ways makes us affraid to be open and joyous about every moment... I am so very blessed to work at home in my little part of the world... To love my friends and family and really just be me... I thank you so much for letting me share that with you... A little deep and meaningful today... but I feel so happy to share a world with such beautiful and creative people....
