On my mind ..

This is a Friday photo feature that anyone with a blog can join. To take part, post a photo on your own blog, write a short caption explaining it, and link it back to here from your blog by saying you're part of "On my mind". Please write a new post, don't link to an older one. When you've done that, come back here and add a comment below, with a link to your blog.


Sewing is on my mind today - soakers and little summer pyjamas. I'll also start knitting an organic cotton cardigan for Alexander - that's what those red buttons are for. Sometime over the weekend I hope to tidy up my workspace; as usual, it looks like a dog's breakfast. With the weather warming up, there will be time spent in the bush house planting seeds and getting things in order for the hotter months. Time goes so fast for me now.

Thank you for your visits and comments this week. I rarely comment on comments, unless someone asks a specific question, but I read every one and love that connection with you. I feel like I know all my regular readers and often smile as I read your thoughts; each comment adds to my perception of you. I hope you have a beautiful weekend. See you all next week!

    I did clean out my sewingroom today so I can get on with the next projects. Need the space and clean slated mind before I can get creative again.
    This morning I made Peach-applesauce and nectarine-applesauce. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

    I loved knitting and sewing for my girls - it felt wonderful to see them dressed in things I had made - there was love in every stitch.
    On my mind today is the prospect of having half of our allotment taken away.....the thought of which makes me sad and angry in equal measure

    Cleaning up creative spaces seems to be an ongoing thing, doesn't it? I guess it shows that they are being used!! I'm hoping to get a bit more creativity in, before the weather starts to beckon me outside in no uncertain terms! Here's whats on my mind today -

    Hi Rhonda, I have a thing about buttons, love them, collect them, photo them. It's crazy. On my mind today is my garden and spring time actually it was on my mind yesterday too and will be tomorrow. My garden needs so much attention but even though it has been lacking love, mother nature always lends a helping hand during spring.

    I love this idea of all of us being able to share what is on our minds. Thanks Rhonda.

    On my mind today is how proud of my children and all the support they give to help fundraise for the Royal Children's Hospital Foundation through sharing their stories of living with Cystic Fibrosis.

    I can't wait to see your projects when you get them done. I'll bet they'll be adorable.
    Your comment about your work space looking like a dog's breakfast made me laugh because I could very well use that description for my sewing area!
    Hope your weekend is peaceful and relaxing.

    On my mind this morning is my niece who just had her son yesterday and how sad it is that my brother (her father) passed away three months ago today. The young lad has his Grandpa’s chin...

    Sewing and knitting for your dear Grand babies must bring you so much joy! To weave love and kisses carefully into each stitch must delight you beyond measure. I have kept every single handmade garment that my wonderful Mother made for each of our children. Sweaters, hats, dresses, bonnets, blankets... all lovingly packed away for my children's children!

    don't know why, but trims and buttons really do it for me...fun to imagine all the things that might be embellished!
