Dear Hive Friends!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗Happy Birthday to Me: 6 years on Hive today!!🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍What a ride, and how proud and fulfilled I feel, making this anniversary of my joining Steemit/ PeakD/ Ecency and the Hive.blog… What a great deal has changed in my life and work since I began, and how much more secure I am in my self and in my life purpose, than when I heard about Steemit from my friend Anja Schutz…

Dearest Needleworking and Hive Friends!We have had a week of much upheaval, AGAIN, with a B&B stay to get respite from our crazy rental house, and then having to move back in when it began to rain heavy-lissimo…And between bouts of coughing, magical improvised dinners from the last of our food before we travel to Italy, and taking oltra-good care of each other, I did a couple of important sewing jobs.

Dearest Needlework and Hive Friends,How is this midwinter time going for you (in the northern hemisphere)?? We (@vincentnijman and I) are settled under a crisp white duvet in a town B&B, whilst our tent sits in freezing fog up the glen!

Ciaooooooo - and oooooooooh it is cold!!Hi my dearest friends and Hive community: I'm writing to you from my beautiful-but-super-cold tent, in the gardens of this (dysfunctional!) rental house up the Portuguese glen near Cojâ....

Dearest Hive Friends and Needleworkers,Ooofah! This week had a couple of corker challenges, which led to my having to face them head-on, and having to shift my perception a little, around what is actually important, and how the ego can get in the way of immediate solutions!
