This "Old Mother" Thanks all involved in the safe return of Cleo! In a world turned on its head with Covid, wars, disasters and poverty, seeing a little girl lost returned to her family, was the most uplifting event l have experienced in recent years.
We lose our way, lose our creative mojo, wallow in self pity....and then an event like Cleo gives us a reality kick!
I apologise to my Old Mother Hubbard family, l let the frustrations in my life overshadow the joys, suck out my creative spirit and leave me wallowing. No more! Time to dust off the craft room and rejoin the world!

Old Mother Hubbard went to her cupboard and found her knitting needles there,
But she had to find some yarn before she could relax in her chair!
She has been out of action and been laid up in bed with a spine that didn't work right,
Then along came a surgeon who said l can fix that,
So off to hospital She went in a flash!
Three weeks in hospital passed so slow,
no visitors as Covid did flow..
Now back in her cupboard with strict instructions to rest,
(An impossibility for her as those of you know best.)
So,with a Tweek and a twitch, the cupboard did call,
She found inspiration in a beautiful yarn ball!
The grandkids are schooling from home once again,
The elephants are racing through the kitchen and Den.
Knit them some slippers to soften their feet,
Time to let Old Father Hubbard get some sleep.
So, with needles a clacking and clicking with fire,
Those Toasty T***s achieved her innermost desire!
She is adding some "T***s" to her shop if it's quiet you need,
And teaching the grandkids as she knits with much speed!

This "Old Mum" has Been out of action for too long. I am currently stuck at home on extremely light duties as l have had Spinal Surgery including fusion and screws. (Ouch)
As l am bored, l thought l would knit a few things for my old store, and maybe find some time to make some more dolls and other stock.
Do you think l should, please let me know as l don't want to waste your time.
In the mean time, Stay Safe and Positive, this Old Mother misses you all.xx

Old Mother Hubbard has been chained to her machine, making masks for her neighbours and friends. Put them on the local fb suite and the orders seemed to never end! Sold them at $7.50 to help people make ends meet. 400 done, can make them in my sleep! Will offer them from Old Mother Hubbard, 3 assorted posted for $20, so you can have them and keep stage 3 or 4 sweet!

Old Mother Hubbard went to her cupboard and found her dusty sewing machine there! Opened a drawer and found fabric galore, so thought she might just prepare. The ideas are flowing, can't wait to get sewing, the dolls are back underway! A new range is coming, with the same handmade , "one of a kind", but a few surprises are still in the works! It's been a while, but have fought my way thru, can't wait to show you what this "Old Mum" can still do.

BEAUTY FROM A TROUBLED MIND....
My younger brother is a Paranoid Schizophrenic, he survives through his faith and its his faith that sees him through. The beauty that his soul sees is apparent in his writing. Whether you have faith or not, this is beautiful...

The universe displays GODS grace and makes all men to wonder,
How they all can seek His face and hear His voice like thunder,
The rolling hills the valleys deep it is a sight to see
Forget your ills and do not weep because it is all free.

So dont despair for there is hope an after life for you,
If its not fair you just cant cope well you can still pull through
Many have trod the path you're on - we all know its not any easy road
But in the night He gives a song and helps to bear your load.

The ocean speaks of His great love under crashing waves
The birds that fly just like a dove this holy JESUS saves
When time for you has run its course and you must end your days
When you go back to all Lifes source repentant of ill ways.

There is a hope that wont deter- your heart can be assured
He's shown its love that He prefers- and he also is the word
Relinquish all your doubts and fears they only serve to hinder
Forget the trials and the tears the sun still shines in winter

So bless you as you go your way and leave from here tonight
The love you show each day to all has never shone so bright
Its JESUS that we hope to see displayed by your own heart
To give another so dismayed a reason to make a new start.

I think this is amazing...what do you think?

Old Mother Hubbard has been lost in her cupboard
Fighting that sneaky disease of depression.
She had lost her "Mojo" , her machines lay idle and bored,
Creativity demands both thought and work in a session,
A dabble here , a gluestick there, scissors that begin to snip,
A cloud blows over and the urge to do something is soon lost,
An idea that's swinging around in your brain,
Then such anxiety delays play at a huge cost,
A disease that ravages someone you may know,
It does not show by bandage or plaster cast,
Its insidious and aggressive, and can quickly grow.
And leave your life in tatters so fast.
It sneaks up on you out of the blue,
hugs you in its black whispery arms,
And you fall AGAIN for its captive charms.
Buck up you say, its all in your mind,
Never knowing your ideas are cruel and unkind.
No-one chooses to be depressed or unwell,
Or live in a vacuum, one step from hell.
Now l am fighting this depressive disease,
l choose my path , go where l please.
my Mojo is not back, but l see it from the corner of my eye,
No matter how deep, from my pit, IT l will pry.
My machines sit idle but l can see the day they'll awake,
And control of my life....l again shall take.
