Time.

Some of my very favourite novels.

I love "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "Pride and Predjudice".

 

From Oscar Wilde with Artwork by Laura Stoddart-from the book "Up the Garden Path A Little Anthology".

 

I never seem to get the time any more to smell those roses.

To take time to read and sew just for the pure joy of nothing better to do.

 

 

 

    So- I thought you might like to take a little time this weekend - out of your busy schedules- and just sit in a cosy spot somewhere and stitch.  

                                   Just for the fun of it.

 

 Had to put this photo in somewhere- they're the absolutely last flowers in my garden!  Roll on Spring!

 

 I designed this little pincushion with butterfly, for you to stitch in   your cosy, relaxing spot.

 

  Maybe with some relaxing music playing gently in the background- to take you back to a time when things were not so rushed.....

 

 

    ........And there was plenty of time to smell those roses!

 

  The design I used for the pincushion (to add to your Bunny pincushion) I adapted from the Basket of Pink Cabbages design on a previous post.

  Here are the page 1 instructions for making the "Take Time to Smell the Roses" pincushion:

                                  I hope you enjoy the stitching!
