Summer with Strawberry Waves

A Week of Colour, Craft, and Connection

on Saturday 9th august 2025 i first went to the Blackburn museum and art gallery, for a short embroidery worsk shop with Sana Maulvi, where i embroidered a butterfly on pink fabric, now getting the hang of it and becoming more social, socialite status, i love to join in her workshop she i think holds at the making rooms.

Then off i went to the Blackburn library to join in arts and crafts family summer activities here many painted and crafted thinks with glue and bits of papers, i allowed the children to play with play doh on the play doh table as i did a little bit or relaxing, therapeutic colouring, colouring the strawberry surfing upo n the waves with its sunglasses on beneath the sun, reminds me of the australian weather and the beaches. Also very therapeutic for the physical and mental health, swimming and surfing up on the sea, running around one the warm sand, building sand castles. Right now i’m only attending swimming pool within a leisure centre.

Not following trends, but creating a world where kindness, creativity, and modest fashion bloom. And it’s beautiful. This is what i aspire and inspire to continue colouring there are so many colouring books many for adults. Spending time in nature which in fact i have done yesterday knitting in Roe lee park, Blackburn,Lancashire.

When the time comes i’m married and have children i get them out into the community, doing community service and giving back to the community. Generosity, kindness, honesty, loyalty, hope and friendship which of course includes laughter. Bubbly, cheerful personality i like to share and no one can ever bring me down and tell me and judge i should be doing things one way or the other.

Whilst doing all these activities attending these events i have also been reading Anne of Green gables by L.M. Montgomery, again this was a story about a young girl being misunderstood just similar to me and my number 1 favourite fashion designer and favourite person.

My favourite quote from anne of Green gables is got to be on page 85, “There were lots i wanted to ask her, but i didn’t like to because i didn’t think she was a kindred spirit.”

I have a;so like i mentioned been doing knitting at home in the park not just for a therapeutic activity but for my fashion label i am going to launch i’m just getting bits ready here and there, i’m all over the place at the moment.
