Here's my first page for 2025 and the THING which dominated our lives for months!
It took a good 2 months for our GAS PIPE to get done and a further 4 months of continued road closures before they had finished in the area.
January saw me doing some sewing. I converted a pair of trousers into a skirt, made the fabric book I saw back in November's Zen week. And I did the mushroom felting course.
the rip in the tent for our kids groups at church. Ladder stitch worked a treat. Fortunately a ball point needle saved me pricking my left hand which went severely numb during the process. Ouchy!
The weekly scripture writing was on Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.
What stood out to me was that Meekness is NOT weakness as we tend to think but rather Strength Under Control.
So glad it is a bit cooler this week but still mighty warm in my room though. Getting a bit fed up with it really and my left hand has started to complain bitterly too (going numb at the slightest thing, even typing this...).
Happy WOYWW Everyone.

You did a great job repairing that tent inner, another item saved from being dumped, well done! And I also love Meekness is not Weakness as well, am going to share that xx

I'm feeling guilty now. I kept some old dresses because I loved the fabrics and intended making them into something else but never got round to it. I must try and get them out again soon. Well done with your recycling. Happy woyww, Angela x10x
I do love your Bible Scripture pages. Great phrase “Meekness is not weakness”. Gosh that Gas pipe repair went on for a long time! Ladder stitch when properly done is a great stitch, unfortunately I seem to muck it up and it doesn’t look as neat as it should. Sorry to hear about your hand x Hugs Angela #12
Well done on the tent repair. Do you look back through the old albums? Happy memories I'm.sure . Stay cool !! Helen #1 (they've postponed our gas works after doing the internal pipes!)
Gosh that's a lot of albums!! Since our refurb all the photos have been in carrier bags (they lost their shelf). I have just put them in my new cupboard that arrived last Thursday. They are still high on my list to sort (and discard) but I have today decided that is a Dec/January job, and I just need them out of my eyeline for now.
(I won't be scrapping them!!)
Have a good week, love n hugs Cindy #12
Great layouts and that tent repair looks very well done! Sorry to read about your numbness! Happy WOYWW! Susan #5
That's a brilliant piece of mending BJ and loving the first couple of pages from 2025. Hope your hand reacts more positively to the cooler weather. Stay safe and Happy Belated WOYWW. Sarah
