The Quilt.

 

So this is a post we've been meaning to do for a long time...and I mean a really long time. The Quilt. Milla and I made it a long time ago for Kate's birthday. I'm going to be honest here, sewing isn't my forte. It's more millas. So I did contribute, honest! But the sewing machine genius was mainly milla. Let me stress mainly. I tried. I really did. It was one of the most satisfying feelings when it was finished and all the last little bits of thread were snipped off! Where is it now? Well I hear that it is currently hanging on Kate's wall above her bed.

Caitlin's a gymnast. Pretty cool huh?

I asked Cait to do a 'messy handstand'... this was her attempt. After we had stopped laughing at this we tried again...

My fave picture of the day!

My family and I went to the beach. We spent most of the time laughing, eating fish and chips and pushing each other into the waves but my sister and I slipped off for five minutes to take some photos! Isn't she beautiful?

Walking across clifftops in the summer sun

These photos were taken when Kate and I went on a cliff walk on our holiday in Cornwall (sorry- you've probably already heard about Cornwall if you've been following the blog but I couldn't resist sharing this beautiful view with you!) This beach is definitely making onto my favorite places list! It was a sunshine-y day. From the edge of the cliff, it felt like you could see for miles. We could even see our friends body boarding if we zoomed in on our cameras (photo 5!) I wish I could have taken more photos but my memory card was full and I didn't want to delete my end of term photos. Alas.

The beautiful little beach by our house

If you look closely, you can see Milla, Gina, Abbie, Sarah G, Sarah P and Meggy D body boarding!

You see the big rock island thing  in the sea? We swam out there!

On another note: I just got back from a week of summer camp where I was so blessed. It's been raining for months in England but we had the most ridiculously sunny week (prayer works), friendships were nurtured and many lives were touched by God. We were studying the books of Daniel and 1 Peter- I learned so much about how we should react to suffering as a Christian and what it really means to stand apart from the crowd. One of the memory verses that stuck out to me was this one: 'Do not fear what they fear, do not be frightened. In your hearts set apart Christ as Lord' 1 Peter 3:14. I'm such a worrier and this verse is a beautiful reminder to me that I don't need to be afraid of anything in this world but that I can take all my fears and insecurities to God.

Hope you're all enjoying the summer sun!

Love,

Something Beautiful.

So I used to be into this band called 'Newsboys', however, some 'friends' (if you can call them that) made me feel so ashamed for liking a band with the name 'Newsboys' that I stopped listening to them altogether! However, my ipod was on shuffle the other day and I came across the song 'Something beautiful' and it reminded me of my friends (ironically enough - seeing as it was my friends who had teased me before). So thought I'd put a lyric with a photograph of them - they truly are something beautiful to me - preciously given by God.

Unless you're totally put off by the name...check out the song too.

What beautiful things are you grateful for?

In that order.

Simple but true.

First glimpse of the morning

So I'm not usually one for getting up any time before ten in the morning in the holidays but around Easter time my Dad told me about a once-in-a-lifetime, spectacular, must-see event happening at 4 AM: the transit of Venus. So my family and a few others walked out onto the levels looking slightly bleary-eyed and consuming vast quantities of tea. Thankfully, it was all worth it: the transit was 

beautiful, the company kept me laughing and the sunrise was indescribably breathtaking.

I love how God blesses me through the world he has created.

My recipe for the perfect little pot of wildflowers

First, you will need to find yourself a field of wildflowers.

 

Ingredients:

a good sized bunch of buttercups

a sprinkling of daisies

a handful of cow's parsley

a dash of bluebells

a couple of dandelions

any other wildflowers you can find

a small jar, pot, teacup or a vase

My little watering can, I love it!!

Method:

Just throw everything together in the pot, add a splash of water and there you have it, your pot of summer's wildflowers.

 

Much love!!

Kate
