The mindfulness of it all

Ok I'll brush the dust off the blog, but hey a week is not too much of a gap ... I've been on holiday the last two weeks and again have been reminded of the mindful nature of patchwork. We had a totally disastrous holiday, the hotel was Fawltyesque in it's awfulness, and we paid a lot of money for it. So Mr Budsmam and me came home feeling a bit deflated and a bit down. So what better than a day or two of sewing to set the mind to rest? Honestly I don't know anyone who does any kind of craft who does not refer to it as their 'therapy' and it is.
