A door in time......

I'm sorry ....more sewing,... I'm feeling much better though, thankyou for all your really lovely get well messages, gosh they cheered me up.

I thought my wardrobe could do with smelling fresher, mmmm, so I set about making a new herb sachet. I had some bits of fabric from some practice printing I had done before christmas, and because I have had lots of time, I was able to indulge myself with a little trapunto embroidery, over the organza and silk. My theme was from a song written by 'Silver on the Tree' ' I am a wren the King of birds', so I made my wren a 'king' sat in his own tree. Ive stuffed it with soft merino fleece, and added wormwood(to stop moths) then my favorite neroli, grapefruit, and geranium, it does smell nice.

I took two photos so you could see some of the inside of my wardrobe, I always decorate the inside of my cupboards exactly how I would dream them to be... I like to pretend like 'The Lion ,The Witch and The Wardrobe, that maybe there is a secret entrance to some beautiful palace, and if I ever had the need to go there, then I could just vanish.......

I think it comes from being a little girl and playing houses in our wardrobes, and hiding in cupboards.......we don't ever really grow up do we!

Hope you are all having a good start to the week.

Poorly girl playing...sniff...sniff....

Hello my friends, well I am fit to drop, two weeks Christmas holiday's off work and I catch a virus I feel ugh, I'm sort of pottering about, in bed out of bed. wanting to throw myself on the floor like some small child, and cry and sleep till it's all gone, Ive got tissue stuffed up my nose, and I can't stop my eyes from running, you can imagine I look really attractive!!! but hey guys.....I can still sew, if only to distract myself.

I have decided this year to be more frugal, and to not buy anything that I am not desperate for. Too often I make a purchase to satisfy my soul, not because I really need the item... but because the colour of it is so beautiful, or I find the shape or look of it calls to me. I know this is so wasteful and I have little enough money to waste. So instead I intend to look for soul satisfaction in other areas. So I have decided to perk up some older jumble sale items with a little embroidery, hopefully it will give them a new lease of life. Over the next few months I will really try to gather together a small stock of birthday presents and cards, to stop me having to rush purchase a present that isn't really appropriate for the intended person.

If you have any tips or ideas please let me know, cos there is a whole world out there of beautiful and inspiring stuff, that won't hurt our planet or our pockets.

Hoping you all feel better than me, have a wonderful week.

Hugs Lynn xx

The Winter Solstice has brought forth the celebration of Holiday Magic. With Winter in full swing it's time for Lady Lyndy's next seasonal Topic:
HALLOWEEN OOAK ART WORK & THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERNET BLOG LINKING

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
What is LINKING?
STACY FROM BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS

DEAR STACY FROM BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS,
LINKING is an act of love or friendship, of peace & understanding & of genuine compassion for ourselves & others. In the Blogging World, LINKING is adding someone's Blogsite or Website with URL attachments. Basically for the same reasons being an act of friendship & kindness to help promote one another. LINKS can also be helpful for reference, ads & PR placements.

****************************

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
Is it a good idea to just add LINKS or is it better to trade LINKS?
ANOTHER MARTHA

DEAR ANOTHER MARTHA,
Personally, I believe it is better to trade links. If you're just adding links with zero LINK BACKS & you're an entrepreneur I see zero benefits for your business. The importance of LINKING, is the reciprocal LINK exchange. A LINK for a LINK means a revolving PROMOTIONAL DOOR for both parties.

****************************

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
Do you think URL LINKING has any social benefits?
BARB TALLAHASSEE FL

DEAR BARB TALLAHASSEE FL,
Yes, URL LINKING is a great social networking tool. Many people look forward to meeting & greeting friends on their Blogsites. Especially when various private group communications are either closed or have excessive rules for communications. I have met wonderful International friends because of my open Blogsite. I hope to LINK many new friends & artists this New Year.

****************************

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
How does LINKING help sell my art work especially when LINKING helps to promote others?
TONY THE TIGER

DEAR TONY THE TIGER,
That's the whole point! Unlike auction or private online groups, LINKING on Blogsites are indexed because of search engines like Google. MEANING your LINK for a LINK has provided the search engines with a multitude of way's for your art work to be seen by millions. Not just one on one. So in actuality a LINK for a LINK is creating endless way's for everyone LINKED to your Blogsite &/or Website to be seen by the world. Which in turn provides new & returning friends & clients/customers. It's a definite WIN ~ WIN!!!

****************************

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
I have two beautiful black cats Cleopatra & Morticia. How can I find LINKS to Blogsites that cater solely to the black cat lover & that would be me.
JENNY KAYE

DEAR JENNY KAYE,
Glad your feeling better & looking for fun Black Cat Blogsites. That's a very good question! That's why Blogsites should trade LINKS for LINKS. So many wonderful people like Jenny can than find the fun Black Cat Blogsites or Magical Sites through the revolving door LINKS. Jenny, just keep touring through the wonderful LINKS I've provided & you'll be amazed at the fun Blogsites with Black Cats that will cross your path. Give your black cat beauties Cleopatra & Morticia a big kiss from me.

REMEMBER THE WORLD IS JUST A LINK AWAY!!!
