So this was My Concord Grape pie...and it was just as good as the first!! if I do say.... :) My grapes too!!<br />
which thrills me to no end because my mum always used the grapes we grow but I have not had the chance to use them myself...so I can feel her looking down and feeling very happy...<br />
I kid you not....I have never had a pie as good as this!!!!<br />
Happy to share the recipe.....I don't know what part of the world or country that concord grapes grow....<br />
but if you can get them.....you must try this! <br />

But I can sure take this!! It is the most beautiful fall imaginable.....warm days in the sun with the smell of fallen leaves...I just want to smile all day!! I'm running around sewing....garden....raking...although...I love the leaves so much...I don't really want to rake them up...I just want to walk through them and crunch!! The smell of fall.....is pure inspiration.....<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I Don't like to bring the sadness of the world to this place because in so many ways it's my safe haven.....</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is the place I come to when I feel like the world has gone mad......</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">All of the amazing people I have met through this blog journey have given me such faith in the human being....most of the people of the world are good....</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So it is very hard this morning to take in all that has happen here in my own back yard...only 31 miles from my safe haven....only one street from a clinic I worked at for several years...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">this area of Boston is so beautiful....probably the most beautiful...so it is a very sad day here and I am trying to find a place to fit today....</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I think I will have to make bread....pat my kitties....hug all the children I love so...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Bloody Hell....What is the matter with the world!!!! A little boy.....a dear little boy....it just breaks my heart....pointless....</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So Thank you all out there for making some sense of the world....for bringing humor ...kindness....creativity....humanity to a world that feels at times like it is completely out of control....</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Don't take one second for granted...........heaps of love to you all........xxxxx Holly</span><br />

This was the last embroidery I did and it was because I went to a school concert and Sof brother was in the jazz band and the entire concert Sophie stood in front of her mum and conducted with such gusto through the entire concert!!! I had told them the quilt was done and that night I said they would have to wait a little longer as I had just thought of one more embroidery to add!!Miss Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17728691181470922037noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633547871553729983.post-90153337757512607472013-04-06T08:54:00.000-07:002013-04-06T08:54:38.118-07:00Miniature Gardens......<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I was a little girl my mum taught my sister and I to make miniature gardens....<br />
a tiny little land where you could shrink and suddenly be small enough to look up into a flower....<br />
It was her brilliant way of teaching us to look closely at things .....to see the smallest wonders of nature.... it worked.....for me nature is my church.....it gives me hope....<br />
Gardens are heaven on earth...and these little tiny versions are sooooo much fun to make!!<br />
Happy Day to you all!!<br />
