Pink, to me, means hearts, beautiful flowers such as my favourite roses, peonies, freesias, pink overblown double tulips and thrift which grows on the cliff tops here in Cornwall. I had pink roses and pink freesias in my wedding bouquet and it was so pretty
As I put these few photos together I was reminded of how there are so many shades of pink - all beautiful

On my last Christmas Crow Day with Jo I made some tea light holders from jam jars decorated with paper, fabric and sequins. These ones had a Valentine's Day theme
This started out as a Bonne Maman jam jar which I decorated with tissue paper, squares of silk fabric, gold threads and Indian sequin motifs!
Jo made this pretty angel for me for Christmas 2007
The box and paper was pretty pink too!
My pink/silver embroidered bag - blogged here
Pink peonies on the front of my little book of special dates
The front cover of one of my inspiration books - inside it's full of beautiful PINK images I have collected from magazines
I thought this one might put a smile on your face. My teddy is called "Johnny" and I've had him since I was a baby! He was pink and fluffy once, now he is completely threadbare
The photo was taken where we used to live. I washed Johnny and my white teddy in the washing machine and hung him up by the ears to drip dry - he didn't look too happy about it :o(
Well, would you?
The white teddy was a ted I had in my pram and I count myself lucky that I still have these two lil treasures!
This is the band of silk flowers I wore in my hair on my wedding day
Here I was so happy on my wedding day to be marrying my gorgeous husband. I sewed the little pink rosebuds on my wedding dress
It was my Mum & Dad's wedding anniversary on 20th February. Sadly, they were not able to celebrate it at home this year. On 21st January they went on holiday to Cyprus and a couple of days into their holiday my Dad had a couple of bad falls and was in hospital in Paphos for the next five weeks. He was too unwell to fly home until this week and we were all beside ourselves with worry!! He loves my Mum so much and their wedding anniversary is very important to them, he so much wanted to be home. I couldn't write this before because I was too upset. This weekend, the whole family is getting together for a party to celebrate their homecoming and their 49th wedding anniversary
I'd like to post here a really old picture of me with my Dad that I love. I have a particular one in mind but I don't have a copy, so I will ask Mum for it this weekend and add it on later
I hope you all have very happy creative weekends too! x

Well, here is the photo I mentioned and I found another taken at the same time, around 1964, when I was two years old!
Mum made my dress which had all different coloured buttons down the front!!
