Going away tomorrow and I haven't packed a thing .... I used to be really organized ... never forgot anything and was in control of my life .... oh how I miss those days!! I have note books ready to be filled with lists ... I have lists ready to be written ... I have to get going and pack ... night x
I remembered today how when I was younger I had such a feeling of destiny .... that the path of my life was laid out before me .... my life is so not what I thought it would be .... I wonder if I can get to there from here ....
Mum & Dad have been moving house this weekend. I wish I had been there to help. Moving house is exciting ... its fun to picture your self in the new room, living there ... and then arranging your things .... its fun!
I have spent the last few day when walking to the Post Office looking at the ground, worrying about stuff ... but on the way home today I felt God say .... take your eyes off the ground and look up at me and what I have created at the sky and the birds ... keep your eyes on me and not down on the ground. I have felt peace again this evening.
I took this picture of my beautiful dog last night ... she really is the sweetest friend .. always ready for a cuddle and just wants to be beside me. She knows when I am upset and was definitely a gift from God.
I have also been listing lots of goodies in my shops, I have added to my blue flower range and made a birthday greetings card :)
This beautiful painting was painted my my Gran, Joyce Wood and is of the local beach where I live ... The Seven Sisters .... it is available on a magnet ... and is very pretty and English!
I know this looks like Dilly-dog is looking out the window, but she is actually playing lego ...
taken on my phone while she wasn't looking ;)
she is in the middle of making a masterpiece!

Finished my book today ... really enjoyed it ... The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley. Really recommend it if you like a bit of fantasy. Would make a great film ... can't wait to read the sequel. Thanks mum for getting them for me for Christmas :D
I've been chatting a lot to my friends fella on msn about tattoos ... he has lots (as does my friend) ... I don't ... not 'cos I have anything against them ... I don't in fact I think they can be amazing ... more because I am a scardy-cat! but in chatting to him about designs I have decided what I would have ... I would want to design it myself as I would want it to be totally unique. I also really love the look of henna tattoos ... so would want it done in just brown ... and I want it on my ankle (he says that doesn't hurt as much as some where like your bum ... this surprised me as I thought it would be worse!)There would have to be a flower somewhere in it and leaves and curly lines!
Isn't this amazing ... I wouldn't have anything as big as this, but I do think it is beautiful!
Who knows ... maybe one day there will be a picture of mine here!!
I found out today that Dilly-dogs sister died yesterday. She was from the same litter and got hit by a car. It made me cry ... her poor family ... she was only 4. We met up just before their first birthday and they had a great time ... most of the photos we took were blurred as they were racing around like mad things, but it was lovely to watch.
I know its not practical or fair on Dilly but it makes me not want to let her off the lead ever!
My heart goes out to her poor owners who must be heartbroken xx
I washed Dilly-dogs bed at the weekend ... It is the bed she has beside me where I work ... it has taken a few days to dry, even on the radiator. I gave it back to her and she instantly curled up and went to sleep in it ... it had got really squashed, but the wash puffed it right up and she nestled right down in it ... so cute ... with her nose all tucked in!

I really do quite enjoy time alone, time to think and potter at jobs that I need to do and get done. I have an evening alone tonight .... when I say alone, I had two doggies with me.
The down side to being alone, is that once you start thinking about something it can be hard to stop as no one to distract you. Its worse when you start to worry as there is no one to tell you that its going to be ok .... luckily I am not feeling like that tonight!
Stardust is on tonight ... I love this film, it is funny, romantic, magical and filmed in Scotland .... what more does a film need? It a film that when ever is on, I stop to watch it and there are some great characters too! It makes me happy just watching it ... or having it on in the background :)

I'm so tired today ... I really should go to bed ... in fact I think I will go in a minute. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............
I sometimes wish I was a dog, without a care in the world and could just curl up and sleep!
Had a quiet day today ... busy working and not been alone, but as I look back on the day, I have been quiet in my spirit ... funny feeling really as I still have lots of worries!
Had a lovely surprise in the post today ... a parcel full of goodies ... books, bath bombs and a magazine ... it was a lovely thing for my friend to do and made me feel very loved!
I do believe that Spring has come ... the sun has been shining and the sky full of fluffy white clouds! Day one of March and I am on target ... up feeling bright & breezy ... worked hard ... made a few good choices about having a large glass water of rather than the usual coffee. (this is big for me!!)
Had a lovely walk to the Post Office with Dilly-dog ... apart from the usual of a dog just loving a walk, I think she REALLY loves going there because of the reception we get .... while I was sorting out the post, she spent the whole time having a cuddle and being told how lovely she is .... she should have no problems with her self esteem!
Saw some lovely crocus on the way home, they made me smile .... sunshine really does have a good effect on your mood!
