Happy Friday I hope you have some fun plans for the weekend, We are quietly celebrating the hubby's birthday and the sun is shining. I'm posting a link to something I have been working on its on Substack and its the other side of me. The salty raw side of post menopause and what's next in my life. So If you want to have a read about the ups and downs of a 64 year old woman navigating life this may be the thing for you. Please don't feel you have to go and read as she's a bit of a rebble. https://open.substack.com/pub/ellieserenitycove/p/i-might-not-change-the-world-but?r=39m565&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

To night i started a little slow stitching block that I may frame. Its all about pink. Our next circle is in 2 weeks time your are most welcome to come and craft and share a space of unity. What's your WIP? (Work in progress)

Happy Monday I hope this week brings you some joy. I'm full of gratitude and excitement as I see we have a group of 20 like minded friends here, that makes me so happy. This week I will be pushing past my discomfort as I launch my mini series on how to have a ferrell summer with young children. ( that's my day job working with my little friends in my home daycare) . What is your most vivid happy memory as a child from your summers? let me know below as we would love to read about them. Mine was eating jam sandwiches outside in the garden on a blanket with my mum, sister and brother our lunch time picnics were so much fun.

Tonight we reached 15 members in our little Cottage Grandma School, and my heart is so full. I made this tiny printable as a thank‑you, you can fussy‑cut it or turn it into stickers. Just a small gift from my craft table to yours. Thank you for being here, for bringing your warmth, and for helping this cozy corner grow.

No where exciting my absence was due to getting my business taxes all done. That's out of the way for now!! so watch out I'm back. Hope everyone is well and if you have any news that you you would like to share I would love to hear all about it . It's make do or mend tomorrow evening so pop over and say hello I would love to meet you in person ( on screen)
