Spring has Sprung..well almost

Hi there!

Thank you for being here with me again this week. It's something that touches me a lot to know that you're following me and that you read my articles week after week. I love writing for you and I hope you feel at home here with me and that my writings inspire you?


We are already April 4, 2019 and the spring has started..The end of March is the moment to unveil the photos of the participants of SAL Tree of Life! There are 28 photos this month and more to come!

Spring has arrived


At least it has in the garden! On the other hand the time has been a little extinct since changing the clocks this weekend the weather has got colder and wet..are you having a good spring so far? Here are some flowers in my garden

and our amazingly beautiful Judas Tree

March photo Progress

They are many stitchers that are up to date .. and others that aren't .. but it doesn't matter at all! The important thing is to follow me and share your progress and support the others in the group. By stitching, you do yourself so much good .. so .. get stitching!

Here are 28 beautiful Trees of Life photos: 

There are some stitchers that have found some great ideas to customise their trees even further. Backstitch contours around each leaf to show the difference between the lowest and highest temperatures of the day; some have added beads to mark a special day out;  others have stitched white French knots to indicate a snow day and blue for a rainy day...

I love the fact  that my basic design is being stitched in hundreds of different and unique ways by each participant. I also love the progression we're making from the first meeting with the group, the first embroidered stitch and the 3 months together so far and how our friendships are deepening. It's magical! And all thanks to the stitching and embroidery!

If these pictures have whetted your appetite and the SAL appeals to you, there's still time to join us. Even at this stage ... there's no pressure to finish a part by a certain date. You just stitch a leaf a day on the Tree of Life and you get a chance to win a small prize every month just by stitching!
But I think there is so much more to gain by participating and stitching this SAL.. serenity, support, happiness and friendship and especially time for each of us to devote some "my time".. and not to have to run around from left to right for someone else for once!

A dynamic group on Facebook to share your adventure and meditations to follow to make 2019 a year full of good intentions and to take your well being in hand!

Happy Stitching!
