Hi everyone,
Without stating the insanely obvious I am very new to this blogging hoopla. Today I have doodled and sketched ideas for my admiration theme of children, needless to say my computer ineptitude is holding me back, translating this …. when my children get home they will have to help me scan, save and download the pics.
Thanks to those of you who have left comments, it is great to get feedback and know that I am not just talking to myself. Rosie x

I have given lots of thought to who I admire, in my last post I talked about some individuals and groups but I think that I will choose children as those who I admire the most.
Given that I (this could also read as we) haven’t done such a great job of things to do with world peace and environmental issues well just maybe it will be up to the younger generations to seek better solutions. This in no way means that we are able to walk away from the responsibility but clearly our solutions are not working.
Children are perceptive, intuitive, they have energy and drive, they do not allow ’adult’ inhibitions and our mature sense of right and wrong to get in the way of finding another answer, this must give them the opportunity to effect true change.
I admire their frank and open attitudes to wanting a better world, they will push through to find the best answer and as we all know they won’t be fobbed off by meaningless procrastination.
In my TIFC I would like to incorporate, children of the world, the global environment and the need for all to have the opportunity to make change. Something like a globe with children linking hands, being kind to each other, loving where and how they live.
Almost too pie in the sky? We need to dream of a better happier more at peace world where air and water is clean and not wasted. Children can do all of this and more. I admire them the most.
With love Rosiex

Morning to all. I am finding that I am still musing about the ‘tifc’, who do I actually admire?
There are many individuals; Mother Theresa, Florence Nightingale, Audrey Hepburn, Benazir Bhutto , HRH Elizabeth the Queen, then as groups I can’t go past Mothers who care and share for their children, Nurses who give to their patients (to be honest I am a tad biased here as this is my profession so this could seem like I’m pumping my own bags), and Teachers who offer the chance of change against many odds. Due to recent events internationally I believe that Benazir Bhutto’s death was mindless and should not go unnoticed, but how do I interpret that in this challenge.
Where do I go with all of this? Maybe I still need to think about it for a few more days.
Work has been ragged for the last week but I should be able to spend time thinking on this over the next few days and finally get moving with some ideas.
Cheers Rosiex

happy new year to all. my wishes are for a peaceful and happy year. you know the right balance between the ordinary and the excitement, time to smile at the simple things that happen and time to extend myself, to be challenged to achieve my best even when it is an ordinary task. the knowledge to appreciate the good things that are around me every day. my children smiling, laughing and loving knowing that they are safe, loved and treasured.
2008 can be a great year, just as 2007 was. im not a great resolution maker, along the lines of this year i will …. but if there is a resolution, it would be to have a year where i grow, enjoy and challenge myself to do my very best with others around me not really thinking that im only out for myself. having care and compassion for others in my life that as a bonus gives me the same. x rosie

hello to all, christmas was wonderful, a scramble and sprint to the line but wonderful nonetheless. work has consumed way too much of my time since then but i have four days away from the grind and i am really looking forward to that and a little sanity stitching time. apart from taking on ‘take it further challenge’ in 2008 i would like to work the final stitches on a whole pile of ufo’s and who knows, creating some more ufo’s for 2009. why fight it!
i wish you all peaceful and rewarding 2008, with time enough to enjoy what is happening around you. cheers rosie

morning all, it is still dark here early on saturday morning. the christmas hussle is getting there with ticks along side most of my list, wrapping is still to happen but we are getting there. no photos uploaded but i will have a go at that when time allows. oh yes the soaking, beautiful beautiful rain, very happy with that. anyway even though it is a disgusting thought this early int the day work is calling my name. the rhythm of life allows the simple pleasures, i work so i can live, i live because i sew anything that falls into my hands. cheers for now rosiex

Morning all,
progress, im not entirely sure, maybe. i have enrolled in ‘Take it Further Challenge’ been confirmed as joined in but i mismanaged the link back to my very own, very new blog. other than all this technology things in my life over the last day have been; embroidering a birthday present for a very good friend and distractedly panicing about the christmas shopping that isn’t finished. it will all come together but i am looking forward to the post christmas sanity, oh btw i am not being disorganised next christmas.
Cheers rosiex
