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!

I've just had a very restful four days off filled with the very same things, I hope you get to enjoy your break just as much x
ReplyDeleteVery dark and dismal here too, we lit a candle and had the lovely scent wafting around the house whilst hunkering down under the blankie with him watching TV and me knitting.
ReplyDeleteNice Scandinavian arrangement, you clever girl. Yes Sunday's snow was a surprise... enjoy your time at home. Fiddling with HTML is fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the whole corner arrangement. Any chance of putting your previous stars back on, I loved the way they followed the cursor. Enjoy your days off. xx
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely to take things that you already have and to make them into a new arrangement to refresh things isn't it. Yours looks very pretty, I love the candle in your teacup, very cute! xx
