H is for…
Home: Peter and I have moved often (dragging our babies with us!). Our family is our home. I believe that if your family is stable and loving, you can go anywhere and do anything. Simplistic philosophy maybe, but it’s true.
Happiness: attainable, attainable, attainable! Do you get that?? If you don’t (or, heaven forbid, you don’t believe it) drop me a line and I shall indoctrinate you!
Hummus: easy to make and delicious. I make a mean one, but I tend to be heavy-handed with the garlic, so it has to be “One in, All in”.
I absolutely detest musicals, but I make an exception for Hedwig and the Angry Inch because it’s just plain fun. Peter and the kids and I all love Zhang Yimous movies - C’s favourite is Hero, but I like House of Flying Daggers. Have you seen the 1939 film The Hunchback of Notre Dame ? Charles Laughton is Quasimodo and YOU WILL CRY. The man is extraordinary.
When we were kids, my brother and I loved Hogan’s Heroes and Huckleberry Hound. Then we moved on to Hill Street Blues and now we all love to watch House.
Few things in the world smell better than Honeysuckle (except maybe L’Occitane Orange Blossom soap, but we’ll get to that a few months!!).
I listen to the Hoodoo Gurus and Jimi Hendrix.
I call my husband and kids Honey and Honey pie ( I got that from my Mum!).
Fun “H” words to say aloud Hunky dory (one of my Nannas favourite words! She also used to call us kids “Honky”) and Hullaballoo.
Have you wondered what the incredible image at the top of the post has to do with “H”?? Nothing. It’s here to show my mama the possibilities of free-motion embroidery. Mum, this is done exactly the way we discussed. It’s by the amazing Ken Smith who must be one of the worlds best embroiderers.
And now I have to get ready - I’m going on a school Art Trip with my daughter!

I’m really enjoying your letter themed posts - you make me think of things that I’ve forgotten and I’ve discovered new things. Thanks.

Love your H’s. I can’t sit through a musical either. Go figure.
