A bit of a quiet Ta-Da!

The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of work and foul weather then, 

finally, 

finally - the weekend. 

We spent it quietly avoiding yet more rain. 

Saturday was wet again, 

constant drizzle with a rare glimpse of sunshine which as soon as was noted, vanished

...without a trace. 

Chores at home were tackled, lists were made, meals eaten.

I am still trying to catch up from a sort of tired that makes you feel tired to the bones.

However,

a quiet buzz of creativity was tickling my fingertips

seemed silly not to use that energy.

In the corner, a 'pask-tree' has taken over. 

A simple scandinavian inspired spring arrangement with feathers and vintage china hens eggs. 

And to help banish the grey skies - I lit a candle,

it is amazing how a small flickering flame can warm a room.

Sunday saw an unexpected fall of snow. 

Despite the skies still being overcast everything looked brighter thanks to reflective light.

Annoyingly the rain soon paid to that and returned, 

washing most of the snow down the road!

Today, Monday I am home - I've taken a few days off 

and fully plan to FILL them to the BRIM

with

SEWING

and

KNITTING

and

TIDYING UP

and

TEA

and

CRAFTING

and

NOT BEING AT WORK!!!

(and catching up with sleep :) 

Happy happy :)

Vase - charity shop find

Cup and saucer - gift 

Moss - from my now sadly finished hyacinth arrangement

Twig - garden

Feathers - collected from various walks

Happiness rating - looking very good :)

Finally - before I forget, welcome to my new followers - it is lovely to see you - welcome to my corner of the world xx

Have a lovely and Happy Monday!
