We still have a poorly household, both the wee ones are curled up sleeping off temperatures. So very little time has been spent in my sewing room, actually none! I have not even picked up my knitting...although for some reason I have been picking up a pencil and doodling, not done that for a while. Reading, yes reading is what I am doing now whilst being Nurse Suzie rather than Suzie Sews.So with little on the 'making' front to show and tell I am sharing with you the photo selection from the Kitchen Poetry group. Inspired by the ever creative Simple Sparrow. Her inspiration being that so much of life takes place in the kitchen, family life, cooking, sharing spending time with friends... sounds familiar so as the kitchen table really is the nerve centre to this home I thought I would join in. Go check out Toni's work her photography is astounding as is her sons, I often think of how proud she must be of her son...I wonder did she inspire his photography or did he inspire hers? Not that it matters as the results from both are so wonderful on the eye...
(This picture was taken this morning, and I mean in the morning, something silly like 4-5am, it is part of the Kitchen Poetry as I have a lovely cosy sofa in the corner of my kitchen the same one that my little one is fast asleep on right now)
So whilst there are lots of pictures in this post, lets have some words...Periwinkle gave me a blogging award and a tag called 7 things...So in answer to the questions here are my replies...
Things I would like to do before I die...
So whilst there are lots of pictures in this post, lets have some words...Periwinkle gave me a blogging award and a tag called 7 things...So in answer to the questions here are my replies...

7 Things I can not do

7 Things that attract me to the opposite sex-Oh thats a personal one!!!... HANDS... I do not have to even think about this one. Hands say so much about a person, hands show love, kindness, lifestyle and even anger. The gentle soft touch of your child's hand in your hand, the sensual touch of your lover, hands that heal and hands that nurture. (I look at my own hands as I type this, my hands say I am an outdoors kind of girl, they have worked hard, they are caring hands, I have scars on my left hand, nails I wish I had the time and inclination to look after) Yes hands say so much and are extremely attractive to me.
... Laughter, someone that can laugh in the face of most things is someone that can cope with life.
... Height, it says strength, power and oh so much more.
... Sensitivity, I have yet to find this in the opposite sex.
... Ability to cook.
... Smell, sounds kind of weird but we all have our own smell, not out of a bottle-our own smell, I believe its one of the things that draws us subconsciously to a person. It has to be a clean smell mind!!!
... They look a bit different. Character, people I find attractive.... Christopher Eccleston, he makes my toes curl I can watch any film with him in it. Luca from ER. Con O'Neil. Jamie Oliver. Jack Black his humour and kind eyes. Bill Granger, its a lifestyle kinda thing.

So after all that thought and typing, time for a coffee oh and maybe a Bagel.
Of course as you would expect a lot of outdoor time was had, we really enjoyed all our Autumnal walks...
