Relax #FolksyFriday

I was looking for inspiration on Folksy and wandered to the forums to cast an eye over the new listings. A few ideas sprung to mind and then I saw a word. Relax! That was it then. I thought it would be a good theme with the country still in winters grip. We all tend to tense up against the cold so relaxing is just what we need to do.
People are all different, we tend to be a very diverse collection and what one person finds relaxing another doesn`t. Personally I find candles relaxing, soft light and a flickering flame, great for meditation. A cup of tea or hot chocolate can be relaxing after a hard day or a shock. Or just sitting in a comfortable chair with a warm wheat bag round your neck to relax tense neck and shoulders muscles.
There are so many ways to relax that I could be waffling on here forever, so I`ll stop now. Do I hear a sigh of relief?
I`ve been working on a new pattern for fingerless gloves. These are more for ladies with ruffles at the wrist and scalloped edges at fingers and thumb. The aim of these patterns are so people like me, who are self taught and find most patterns are double dutch, can actually follow them easily. They are written in plain language and include clear pictures to make it easier to follow.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

Yesterday started cloudy and cold.
I prefer to see the suns rays of gold.
I hung out the washing really fast
for my troubles I got an icy blast.
A bit later I looked up with a frown
a whirl of snow was coming down.
Mother nature please get it together,
we`re all so tired of this weird weather.
The first day of spring has come and gone.
And mild spring days? Not a single one.
New shoots push up through the ground
and then the snow falls all around.
They all then turn brown and wither
just because Nature`s in a dither.
Come on Spring, show your face
Time to pick up the seasonal pace!!
