It's been a wonderful, relaxing summer so far. There have been daily swims with friends, dinners on the back deck, card games and Cointreau, and gardening. There has also been a lot of sewing and a little bit of crochet. After the hectic months leading up to Christmas, it has been lovely to relax and live life a little better. To smell the air and listen to the croaking frogs, and most importantly engage fully with the people who are so important to me.
Speaking of holidays, I'm sending this little old blog on one. A hiatus (I love that word). Or a sabbatical even. I don't know when or if I'll come back to it, but please know that I have loved the friendships I have made and the lovely comments you have provided me with over the last six years and 503 posts.
But for now it's time to make more jam, plant more lettuce, sew more quilts and spend more time just being.
Oh!! And I was expecting to see pics of your new frock!
ReplyDeleteWell, I will miss your sewing and crochet and gardening but I hope you enjoy being. And I hope you'll come back to the blog sometime!
I have just discovered your wonderful blog and now you are leaving? It seems like 2011 is a year a lot of bloggers are taking a break from the land of blog. I really hope a rest is all you need and you will be back to inspire us once again :)
ReplyDeleteHope to see you online again..but completely appreciate the need to take a break. I must admit the thought has crossed my mind too!
ReplyDeleteVery much hope you're back at some stage. You'll be missed. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling this day was coming soon. Will miss your posts, but hope the hiatus brings you much peace, productivity and contentment.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break! It's important to stop and smell the flowers every so often - kind of like refusing to take the camera on holiday, and vowing to concentrate on *remembering* and enjoying things instead.
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to your return, hopefully with a full jam-cupboard, an emptier stash of quilting fabric, a surfeit of salad, and a rested soul :-)
plant those lettuces & make those quilts but most importantly be what you need to be.
ReplyDeletehave a good break Michelle, we'll be here when you return.
many hugs ♥
Fair enough! but I will miss your posts too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break, and enjoy the time and much needed peace that it will bring to you. We'll be here still when you're ready to come back. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteNoooooo! As long as you only take a break but don't leave us forever! I love reading what you're up to. I look forward to seeing you at SIT but in the meantime rest up and be.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break, hope to see you back some time :-)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you're having a holiday... but I do so hope you come back!!!
