My First Lot Of Sewing

I have more recently started Baking, Sewing, Knitting and basically been Entertaining My Creative side,.
Here are just a few pictures of the things I have made.

Trap Door

To all that remember the Kids T.V Programme Trap Door which was voiced by Willie Rushton

¯DON'T YOU OPEN THAT TRAPDOOR YOU'RE A FOOL IF YOU DARE!.
DON'T YOU OPEN THAT TRAPDOOR

'CUS THERE'S SOMETHING DOWN THERE.¯

Trap Door

Burt’s busy making meals for him upstairs

Boney sat watching, splitting hairs

The trapdoor twitches, then opens wide

Something 'orrible slithers from inside

The monster moves around the room

Hiding in the dungeon’s gloom

Eats all the food that Burt’s has cooked

Attacked poor Boney, when no-one looked

“Where’s my food?” booms the voice from aloft

It’s in the big monster that’s squidgy and soft

“I know what to do” thinks Burt very swift

Getting behind the monster and pushing it in the lift

Burt presses the button, shouting “Food coming sire!”

If his master doesn’t like it, the outcome will be dire

But soon he hears his master, eating with delight

Now Burt can relax, everything has turned out right

Precious Gift

When you hold something so precious

So precious in your hand

And its innocence and beauty

Falls away like grains of sand

When this precious gift is taken

And turned into something new

It’s hard to comprehend

When it’s lost what once you knew

When you have done all that is possible

To keep it safe from harm

And the trust you had in others

Are the ones that cause alarm

The innocence is gone

It will never be the same

And the precious gift you held

Is not the one to blame

How can you trust anyone

To help and understand

The precious gift will never return

Yet you still hold it in your hand.

Bring Me Love

When clouds depart and rain subsides

Please bring me love to be my guide

With seas of green and skies of blue

Please bring me love, a love so true

When flowers bloom and church bells ring

Please bring me love so my heart will sing

When sunshine melts the snow away

Please bring me love, forever to stay

When days pass by and nights grow cold

Please bring me love, someone to hold

I pray each night to the lord above

Please please please, just bring me love.
