This is a momentous day for me, I have learned a lot in the past couple of weeks and now I have started my own blog. After a period of dark and gloom I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and this time is is not a train bearing down on us. Through the devotion of my family, in particular my son and daughter, I am picking up the threads of my life once more. I have started knitting, for my soon to be granddaughter and will soon attend my first quilting course, and now a blog, so many firsts. The reason for my blog, is not to spiral into sadness and blackness, but revel in life and what it has to offer, to show how I can grow and hopefully others will blossom and grow too, to offer snippets of newly learnt advice as I get it and to show how to live within a budget, however meagre it may be. My thanks also to www.frugalqueen.co.uk for her encouragement through her blog.
My first cardigan and hat is done, and my cot blanket is well on it's way, photo's later, need to master the blog first, fat quarters ready to cut and my new lease on life begins. This blog is dedicated to my dearest Mum Elizabeth, who wrote in my autograph book when I was 9 the words of Charles Kingsley:
Be good sweet maid
and let who will be clever,
do noble things,
not dream them all day long.
And so, make life, death and that vast forever,
One Grand Sweet Song.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you will come back.
I am very excited to be your first commenter! I have learnt lots from Frugal Queen too. She has so much energy and passion!
ReplyDeleteI love the quote your mum wrote in your autograph book - I have heard the first two lines before, and found them a bit annoying, but it means so much more taken all together. In fact, it is just beautiful, and I will read it to my girls. But I will let them know it is just fine to be both good AND clever!
All the best with your blog and many other new beginnings.
