This Week I'm grateful for... a little rain

This week I am grateful for a little rain.  For the whole weekend.  It meant that I had a perfectly acceptable reason to get under the blanket and stay on the couch. For the whole weekend.  It meant that balls of yarn were scattered at my feet, and my hook in hand, and crochet magic was woven. 
It meant that the sky was a lovely shade of gunpowder grey, and that every piece of greenery in my garden shone with a great vibrance and dewey lustre. I had a granny square knee rug, a pair of super-slippers, and copious cups of tea to warm my bones, so a sweet weekend indeed.

On the note of crochet treats, I happen to have unintentionally gifted my camera cord to a new home, and so while there are plenty of crochet tid-bits to share, the camera to computer relationship is not a happening thing.  But, there is a surprise in store very shortly, (for all four of you! hah!)in relation to said crochet treats, so perhaps under wraps is a good way to keep it for now. Just wait and seeeeeee....

Thanks be to Maxabella for letting me share my gratitudes, albeit in a tardy fashion. I love your space and your pretty face. If you want to see what the world is grateful for,go look here.

Love, love, love ..xx

This Week I'm grateful for... a rest

I work two (well, almost three if you count the extra bits and bobs I dabble in) jobs, six days a week, every single week. Did I mention that I am also a full-time student? So, the one day I get off is consumed with study.

I love (almost all) of the work I do, and am thankful that I have the opportunity to be busy, and making money, and living a rewarding life, don't get me wrong, but sometimes (especially lately) I am busy! Real busy!

I work with kiddiewinks, in the hours outside the school day, and as it is the school holidays, there have been a mighty number of outside school hours of late.

As of Monday, the school holidays are done and dusted, and with it so shall be my 60 hour working weeks.

So, This Sunny Sunday (planning and hoping ahead) I shall be grateful indeed for a lovely woven blanket, in a little spot of dappled sun,  a man I love, and a not-a-care-in-the-world attitude.
