The toys are upset
and they're muttering a lot,
summer is here
and it's really quite hot.
Everyone else has
a lot of time off,
but when they want a break
these children just scoff.
They do work hard
and they do work cheap,
they mind the children
so the grown-ups can sleep.
But if they don't get a vacation
whatever the cost,
they're off on a strike
and the kids can get lost.
♡
I'm going on a summer blog break soon
I'll miss you all

Have a lovely break!
So beautiful!
Have a good holiday, Amalia:)
You really are talented at poems and embroidery. It is always a pleasure to see your work.

Oh it must be hot, hot, hot if even the toys are cranky. I hope that you are taking a real life vacation, too, to some cooler, lazy place. Enjoy your time away and you will also be missed. Is this a case of "See you in September"?
We are Hot, Hot, HOT here too. Wishing you a nice blog break. Sweet embroidery, Amalia.

Hello my talented friend! I love everything about this! Your writing and the stitchery. :)
Such a cute poem, Amalia! Sweet embroidery piece too.
Your piece of art is lovely, and I don't blame the children a bit for wanting to escape! Hope you have a wonderful time away!!!
Love it! Your art and poetry is always such a delight Amalia! Heading off on vacation in the morning as well. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
I Hope the best of your summer break was restoring to all that inspires your creative poetic works.
Love the needle work here. It's such a lost art and we don't see enough of it anymore. I hope you continue and pass it down.
Thank you dearest Amalia for your beautiful visit to my place where pottery is what I am handing down thses days.
I trust that when you post again it will be amazing.
Now that I am here I am going back to catch up on all that I have missed.
See you soon.
Creatively touching our hearts here.

Oh the music here moves me soulfully... It's a lot like the music I listen to by many artist for movie sound tracks like Ondine, and so many, it's a music I can work to creatively. The electric guitar in this is so progressive kept so moving, it makes me drift away to an imaginative place as your small sea town with this one row of homes, fishermen boats reading themselves for the catch of the day.
I love the cement seagul ? Maybe it's a pigeon? I have gotten into these artful pieces these days.
And the lobster cages piled here, as well as your staging of the knitted fish pot holders are so cute, I want to knit some I must find a pattern?
Again Amalia thank you for sharing apart of your home. A place only in my dreams.
I am now a follower of your Instagram.
But still prefer the beauty of a good story life here with you. I hope to see you following me at Instagram as well.
Xx
Dore
What an amazing aunt you are.... Your turning wonderful child art into beautiful life art amazes me! This i will do with a few pieces my daughter created when she was about your nieces age.
Just amazing here and I must visit much more often.

I like your 10 things about your Scotland, but I could find a million things, the most important of them is the breathless beauty.

Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Watching after children is hard work, indeed. Poor toys... :-)
Your embroidery is gorgeous and is in tune with the birds singing in my sunny backyard at this exact moment. Very lovely motifs.

I always tell my Grandkids that their toys are grumpy if they aren't put away on the shelf so they aren't stepped on!!
Sending wishes that your break is continuing to be lovely!

Jemma

I miss you , My Dear Amalia:)
הריקמה מקסימה
כבר מילדות אהבתי דברים אלה.
מקווה שנהנית בחופשה, מילית מצברים ותחזרי בקרוב :)
Hope you've been somewhere lovely, Amalia! Love your poem :)
Definitely! Can't wait :-)
I'm beginning to think that it is hard work being a toy at any time :-)
Thank you for the encouragement, Tricia, it is a dream of mine.
It is not easy being a toy - you want to go back to the shelf but don't want to be forgotten there :-)
Oh that is to darn cute! You know, you should have your poems along with the fabulous things you've made- made into a book. That would be so precious!
Hello Amalia, I have never been to Paris but I do hope to visit sometime. I loved looking at your lovely photos of it. It looks like you had a nice time.
Wishing you a wonderful week and a Happy Thanksgiving.
Hugs, Julie xo
