Time for something new:
I tried the other day to paint a stone.
It was a very porous stone.
This is my result.
It was rather hard, I’m not so good in drawing so this will be my only one.
It looks nice in the garden, I varnished it to weatherproof it.
I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought,
so I’ll stick to the crafts I do better and enjoy more.
Like knitting a little fragrance pouch for example.
It is good to try different crafts out.
One way to find out what you truly enjoy.

I love your stone – it is so happy and friendly, just like your lovely blog. And that little pouch is adorable. Coelho’s quote is spot on – is it from The Alchemist?
Thank you Liz, such a kind comment. It looks really sweet in the garden actually. Yes the quote is from the Alchemist. Enjoy your day!
That’s a very pretty stone and will be lovely in your garden. It is always good to try new things – and if they don’t work out as we wish, at least it is an informed decision to do something else. Your little lavender bag is gorgeous. 🙂
Thank you Sally, I always like to try out things and do my best. Might have a hidden talent… hehe
A hidden talent just waiting to be discovered! Yes!! 🙂
Who knows….. 🙂
Der Stein ist doch sehr schön geworden. Ich kann so etwas nicht, da habe ich zwei linke Hände.
Danke Ute, er sieht ganz ok aus und gibt mehr Farbe in den Garten. Doch ich fand es schwierig zu tun. Ich probiere eben immer gerne was aus.
i find your stone charming, and always good to try things, but i agree, stay with what makes you feel good and brings you joy
Exactly, I need to enjoy doing my craft and be happy with it. Thank you Beth
You have a very creative talent, Ute. Your stone is so pretty and cheerful and I love the fragrance bag. Happy weekend. 🤗
Yes, weekend just started for me too, and I have time off now for holidays too. Not going anywhere but I can sleep longer, rest more and do things I love!
Sound perfect.😃
I used to have a martial arts school. One of my wonderful little students wanted to play basketball and her parents made her be the one to tell me. They thought it would be good for her. She was crying when she told me. I told her that I thought if she wanted to try basketball she absolutely should! What if she is the next best basketball player but she never played because someone (even herself) didn’t let her try something new. She was so grateful. 🙂
Great advice. My parents always let us try lots of things and we found out we enjoyed some and not others. We were very fortunate to have great parents with this attitude. Never forget the time we tried out Water skiing, great fun. 🙂
I have to admit that I was very pleased with ‘myself’ for having the wisdom to tell her this. She was so upset because she did like ‘me’ and our class but she really wanted to try something. Your parents sound wonderful Ute. How life would be better if we encouraged one another to try new things. Oh the wonderful discoveries we might encounter!
I think the stone looks very nice, Ute, and you finished it, so that makes it great. we agree that you have to try everything, so you know what you like or not 😀 😺Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend to you and Thomas too🐾😽💞
Absolutely! Thank you Binky ♥
I love your little fragrance pouch
Thank you Colline. I made a couple as I loved it.
That pouch is so cute. I’d love to learn knitting/crocheting, it’s been on my list for ages but I still haven’t got round to it.
It is a lovely skill, I learnt it in school and always enjoyed it. Thank you very much.
Brilliant 👍
Thank you ❤️
I love the stone. Remind me of a paperweigh I used to have.
Thank you , I got it in my garden for a splash of colour.
