Yesterday...


all my troubles seemed so far away.


Now it looks as though they're here to stay,


Oh, I believe in yesterday.


Suddenly...


I'm not half the van I used to be,


There's a shadow hanging over me.


Oh, yesterday came suddenly.


Why she had to go,


I don't know, she wouldn't say.


I said something wrong...


Now I long for yesterday.


Yesterday..


love was such an easy game to play.


Now...


 I need a place to hide away,


Oh...


I believe...


in yesterday.


Crafty ways make yesterday.

I'm forever sewing buttons...

pretty buttons everywhere.


I rarely buy them, they just seem to grow.
Do you have that problem?
I have a house full.


I have been trying to use them up.




A lucky button for exam season?


or is this more appropriate? 


A mutton button?


The girls were not amused.


 They were getting bored.
I offered them a button modelling assignment...


but they preferred pins.


I've been foraging for our 'garden fete' on Saturday.


The weather forecast is dreadful...
thunderstorms and lightening, very very frightening me!

I may need that panic button!

Crafty ways make risky days
but it's all worth it when you find 5 yards of kittens...


My sewing skills are limited so... bags, cushions or pinnies? 
What do you think?

Poetry in Motion

My little owl was feeling low
And so I perked her with a bow.


My ironing board was weary too
And so I covered it with blue.


The seagull's flying low today,
I hope he doesn't fly away.


My puzzle needed just a clean
And then wrapped up in polythene.


'Tis market time again, you see
And I'm as busy as a bee.

Gathering bits and bob's to sell,
Have I got a hope in hell?

You may have guessed my purchase new,
Let me show a little clue...


Crafty ways make rhyming days.
