One of my favourite days

One of my favourite days is Tuesdays.
It is a day where my cup full of joy sometimes feels like it might spill over.

Tuesdays sometimes start like this…

Warm half asleep snuggles in bed with my little ones
{what better way to wake up is there?!}
An unhurried breakfast, good coffee and maybe some pancakes

Little Miss Q and I take Dino Boy to his wonderful preschool
It is like releasing a child into their ‘wild’
…happy and free, the way it’s meant to be

Then Little Miss Q and I hold hands and walk through the school
smiling to everyone we meet, saying little hellos

 

We make our way to the school cafe, where they know our order and greet us friendlily
My girl and I sit in the fresh air, enjoying our drinks
{a lovely mocha for me, usually breastmilk for her}

 

Sometimes lovely friends join us and we chatter away
Before unhurriedly wandering up towards playgroup, to a warm welcome
 Where I watch Little Miss Q play, mostly close by, often while I knit or sand

 

Then home we go for a nap and some Mama alone time *happy sigh*
Before returning to school for our boy
who clasps our hands, showing us where he played that day

 

Homeward we return for late afternoon tea… fresh fruit… a homemade biscuit or two
A happy, full & lovely day.

Do you have a favourite day? What makes it so special?

Warmly, Kelly

Winter knitting & thinking

This Winter I have been very introspective

An inside creature…
keeping warm, knitting, reading, thinking

Winter lends itself to a time like this, I think.

And it is interesting how the different seasons impact my mood

 

There have also been many hot chocolates
cozy chats with friends, and knitting *grin*
Knitting is the perfect Winter craft isn’t it?
The warm wool in your hands as your can sit and create

For Dino Boy I knitted up some simple fingerless gloves

I was inspired by a beautiful pair a good friend made for me

And now I have two projects on the go…

~ a knitted dress of Little Miss Q {a rich blue}
~ a birthday vest for Dino Boy {using lovely Noro yarn}

 

 

 

I’ll share some more as I finish these projects
Have you been knitting? What are your inspirations?
Happily knitting, Kelly
