However, there is a little gem within each frustration they say....mine happened to be that a bit of other stitching got done.
Miss Beatrix Bear is now finished and she almost has a new friend, Miss Viola Bear completed.
In the midst of all this frustration a beautiful "just because I was thinking of you" parcel arrived from my lovely friend Sue from Kiwikid. Sue knows how much L'ucellos in Melbourne is on my bucket list. So on a recent visit she got them to pop a gorgeous piece of French General in one of their iconic packages just for me.
To know that someone thought of you and acted upon it whether by kind word or gesture is one of lifes blessings. Thank you Sue for your beautiful kind heart x
On the subject of life's blessings...
Monday was our youngest Granddaughters 3rd birthday. We celebrated on Sunday with morning tea. There was much dressing up. Miss E. sees no reason (and nor do I) why girls can't be Super heroes. Batgirl and Batman are her favs....poor old Princesses and faeries don't rate lol! So much excitement over blowing out the candles on her Batgirl cake.
Remember to lift up and encourage the women (even the tiny ones) in your life.
Found this on FB and just loved it.
Such adorable bears :) Definitely worth internet frustration, plus I'm sure had you known then, you would have been most happy delaying those next PP Splendid block challenges :) Best of luck with those blocks :) Such a sweet birthday girl :) Fairies never got a look in when I was a girl either, it was Wonder Woman all the way, lol

Oh dear......I have no women in my life, little or otherwise! Two daughters-in-law are my lot. We miss the internet but there is an upside when it's down, isn't there?
