I donโt even like coffee and I enjoyed them ... I guess you always make stronger if you find them a little mild.

Donโt be too envious of my page views ... half of them are probably me as I never could get it to ignore my own visits and I am always in and out. I do tend to share my lists on my personal Facebook page which does remind friends to pop by and have a look so that does help a bit. I must admit that until I started doing the photo challenge I didnโt get an awful lot of comments and that has been lovely. Whilst I try and remember that really I am writing for me ... as a bit of a diary ... it is very heartening to know that others are reading ๐Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12755023281455689775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936759459914504763.post-84299202458525816592021-01-15T20:35:15.106+00:002021-01-15T20:35:15.106+00:00Great post & so much I relate to.

I've about 8 hellebores through the garden & start checking for buds around May & I had to laugh that we'd both repotted our cacti/succulent collections recently, though yours looks better than mine. Your embroidery looks interesting as does the WM fabric bundle. I've just traced a motif (from i'net) & popped it into a hoop to do some more embroidery & we need to find something simple for your fabric & get you patchworking (giggle). Love your star too & gives me an idea for next Xmas. Thanks for sharing your crafty makes, take care & stay safe.

As for your William Morris fabric, perhaps if you bought some other fabrics you could make a log cabin quilt. Plenty images etc on Google. I also think your bird cage is lovely.
