Well time is almost up on finishing this . I keep thinking of more things I would like to add to it .
I am going to stitch a tiny black ribbon over the little door to September . This was when we heard the sad news of the Queen's passing . Someone asked me what was under the little flap for September . Well before we heard about the Queen , I had sat and watched the Artemis Space Rocket " Countdown" I was very excited about it and thought that it was important enough to fill the whole month block with my embroidery of it !
It didn't take off , due to hydrogen leaks and then lightning and then Hurricane Ian , at which point it was wheeled back into the garage .
It did eventually take off and successfully completed it's mission , I lost interest and missed it's successful lift off which for us in the U.K was in the middle of the night or very very early morning . I didn't want to unpick all my work and I thought I'd keep it as a memory anyway .
I did watch the re-entry and splash down to Earth later on .
I wasn't able to stitch as many things as other people in the Facebook group "Stitching A Round" but the things that I have stitched will certainly bring back memories both sad and happy .
I struggled with having to stitch sad memories but felt it important to include them too .
It was with very heavy heart and sadness I had to record Putin's War . I stitched this with black embroidery thread . Ukraine is in my prayers .
Happy memories of the village coming together in March , after all the difficult time of Covid , the rope being passed around to encircle the church with our love and prayers and song .
Flora Day !
Seeing a mother Chough feeding her chicks along the cliffs .
Archery ! Wow ! Discovering that I can shoot an arrow from a bow (with my left hand )and hit the middle ...several times ! I had a really good teacher !
Growing a Sunflower from seed with my little Grand daughter .
A great harvest from my vegetable garden .
The joys of all the festivities of the Queen's Platinum 70 years on the throne and then the sadness of her passing in September .
That one heck of a heat wave , the children catching chicken pox , us having covid and flu vaccines .
Our first time away since the Covid Lockdown just this month . We are still wearing protective face masks and keeping away from crowded places .
How things have changed , my faith , family and friends I have sadly lost .
I feel like I have no-one . The whole world has changed .
So many memories , and there were so many more than I had time to record on my memory cloth .
The wonders we saw in the night sky . Going out after dark to watch the International Space Station float by. The Milky Way and shooting stars , the Moon and all the beautiful constellations . The Universe .
I wish you all a Healthy , Happy and Peaceful New Year 2023 .
