It is interesting how my perceived world is working at the moment. I have always had strong respect for the use of energy and many years ago before it was fashionable I was passionate about solar energy and making your home more sustainable. I am not sure whether it is the work that my daughters do for a living, the blogs I read or the shows that I watch but my guilt? factor is growing. Is guilt the right word? Maybe awareness? Yesterday (Sunday) I had to pick up a few things from the supermarket, I went out with the intention of driving three suburbs away because they have really good coffee. Then the guilty thoughts started……the use of fuel, how do I justify driving that far just for coffee and paying more for the groceries ( because it is a small market there with higher prices); so I went to closer market and got the just average coffee. Now if I was really serious I give the driving to get coffee a miss.

There is a new site opened up called stitchin fingers, it is wonderful and there are lots of new groups opening up within the site. So if you love ‘red work’, crazy patchwork, surface embroidery etc there is now a home for you. I joined  a group called ‘Take a stitch  on Tuesday’, we do our first stitch tomorrow, it is herringbone.
