sunday outing



we went to the mountains yesterday;

it was a good, family day

{ a rarity lately }

~~~~~

it's a school holiday today.

son and his friends are playing with his playmobil in his room.

i'm enjoying some me-time;

trying to decide if i pick up a book or a hook-

probably both - not simultaneously!

~~~~~

i've been reading your words, looking at your pictures
but haven't been commenting much
as blogging time is really limited.

~~~~~~
thanks for stopping by!

take care!

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.

Why always "not yet"? Do flowers in spring say "not yet"?

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

I've found myself with some priceless me-time this morning and decided

to look back to the year we've left behind.

May you all have Health and Joy in 2012!

December

is it really december today?

i guess it is.

i bought my son this advent calendar

and left  a little note in the number 1 box, with directions for him to find this gorgeous book! ( i've just got it from the post office and i'm already in love with it! i wish I had ordered one for me, too!)

my son and i are secretly planning to decorate daddy's office when he's not there

-the tree ornaments are patiently waiting in their hiding place and we'll buy a tree one of these days.

and i'm - not at all patiently - trying to get over a nasty cold which has left me 'voiceless' for a week now.

hope you all have a warm, blessed december!

{ for a good dosage of graditude, you can revisit last year's advent calendar;

if only i had time to do it again this year! }

take care!

saturday night

little man and i came back home from the shadow puppet theatre

to find our ~ very tired ~ daddy sleeping on the sofa.

now it's charlotte's web on tv and a new blanket on my hook.

little man and i are sharing the other sofa and our stripey blanket.

is it wise of me that i haven't watched the news today? i think it is!
(i'll watch it tomorrow morning anyway!)

take care everyone!

hi!

Hello world!

How are you lovely people?

I really hope you're enjoying the new season!

Autumn has been here for a while; it's the time for pomegranades,

pumpkins and chrysanthemums around here.

I'm trying very hard to squeeze some moments of seasonal appreciation in

my otherwise crazy life.

I haven't just been busy lately; I've been crazy busy!

I haven't finished reading a single book since schools started;

I haven't done much progress with my crochet project;

I haven't even cleaned and organised the place properly since summer

and my wardrobe is a chaotic mixture of summer and winter clothes!

(I'm actually working on this today)

The reason I've found some time to be here today is the long weekend ahead,

which means there are no schools tomorrow. Yay!!!

So, do tell! What have you been up to lately?

Though, I have to admit, I do stop by your places on my ... free time(?) - more like free minutes! Somewhere between studying with my first-grader,  preparing my work for the next day and keeping up with the most basic housework requirements, I check on my favourite bloggers whenever I'm online.

Well, this is it for now.

I don't know when I'll be back with a new post but I do come here every day so I'll definetely know if you waved 'hello'.

Take Care!
