Glorious day

Don't you just love those mornings when the sun is shining, the air is fresh and the birds are singing. Today was one of those days.

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to live by the coast (usually in the middle of winter when the wind is coming off the sea, or in the middle of summer and everywhere else is basking in sunshine while we are covered in a freezing cold sea fret), today it was just perfect.

 

 

This is the gorgeous view I get to enjoy each morning on my way to work. It's my favourite part of the day when I get to walk along the promenade, listening to the sea.

 

 

 

This morning I wanted to head onto the beach to get some pictures of one of my projects, I made them during the winter and put them away until it was better beach weather.

 

 

 

 

The tide had just gone out so I had to dodge some of the pools of water, and had to be careful not to sink into the damp sand. There was also the worry of my makes being snatched away by the dogs that were enjoying their early morning runs.

 

I love looking at the patterns left on the beach, both natural and man made.

 

 

 

 

My next picture isn't so clear, I spotted a group of sea birds resting on the rocks, I only had my phone with me, so was unable to get a close up picture, and I wasn't clambering over rock pools to get closer. I still need to look them up and see what species they are.

 

 

 

I got a little carried away and was almost late for work.

 

As it was such a lovely day I headed back to the seafront on my lunch break, perks of working by the seaside.

 

 

Here's to many more sunny days.

Words of Wisdom

I don't know if you are like me, but sometimes I find I am my own worst enemy. I'm the one who puts the doubts in my mind, who thinks the things I do aren't good enough, or I'm not good enough.

So to remind myself how amazing I really am I make little affirmations to give me the boost we all sometimes need!

 

 

This was the first piece I made for myself. I had been going through a time when I had a very low self esteem, this was my list of positive things about myself that I was asked to create.

 

I filled the hearts with lavender to help with a good nights sleep.

 

 

It's not till I put all theses pictures together that I notice how much I seem to like hearts.

 

 

Make sure you keep your sparkle, your sparkle is what makes you different from everyone else. Your sparkle is unique, love your uniqueness x

 

 

There are so many people around who make you feel inadequate, spend time with people who help you to shine.

 

 

 

Go out and shine like the stars you are x x
