I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something that you can be thankful for... no matter how simple it is.
Despite being a bit under the weather, I am still thankful and grateful for so many things.
Here are a few of the things I am loving at the moment...
My new slippers. Do you remember my old ones... well a certain husband of mine wore them up our long gravel driveway on a rainy day to check the letterbox for mail. They came back dirty and with holes in... and then mysteriously a new pair were found hiding under the sheets in my side of the bed. I only wish I could have taken a photo of him wearing the old ones up the drive!
I'm loving the fact that the ghastly orange house is finally getting painted! Only problem is that it's the middle of winter, so it might take quite a while to do, while we wait for sunny days to paint (maybe the slipper drama forced someone to get cracking to appease the wrath of his wife!).
Loving the free holiday fun times that our local library has organised...
Loving getting creative with jelly - even if they didn't quite turn out like my real life inspiration...
Loving chalk drawings... apparently that's a scalloped collar on the lady's dress (ahem)...

HA @ the scalloped neckline! So cute. Our holidays are all ready over here in Aus, but we had lots of fun at our local library as well. :)
ReplyDeleteNew slippers are the BEST! Love the chalk drawing and the scalloped collar -tee hee.
ReplyDeleteLoving the scalloped collar on the dress - hilarious. So relieved that you have appropriate slippers for the cold weather - a girl can handle just about anything as long as she has warm feet:) Meredy xo

I was finally brave enough to be a craft nerd in public last week. Must put picture up. Even got one of husband being a craft nerd supporter in public. Thought of you at the time. Lovely post. Cx

ReplyDeleteMy mumma used to be a total craft nerd when i was growing up. i used to play basketball and she would faithfully sit in the cold stadium every week with her crocheting on her lap to keep her warm :)
Loved the chalk drawings and the "scalloped" dress :) Hehe! That's hilarious! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteOh yay for school holidays, we're just wrapping ours up, sigh, can't wait for the next ones, especially as it gets warmer, love Posie
ReplyDeletePS my husband has ruined slippers on the driveway before too!!
Loving the 'scalloped neck line' made my husband and I giggle :)
ReplyDeleteheh heh heh love your list & the fact that your husband wears your slippers! My husband wouldn't be seen dead in mine - even if private haha. MInd you I'm lucky if they don't get stolen first by my kids.
ReplyDeleteLove that you crotcheted at the library :)
