this morning, we had a sprinkling of pretty white snow. I wonder if we will have more later...., by the time I reached the common though, it was all a wee bit wet and muddy!.... nevermind, here's hoping we will see a bit more of the white sparkly stuff!
and now carrying on with my quite random 52 weeks of happy!
I have been making a custom order, cheery and bright is the order of the day. I am really enjoying working with the orange!
The last of my new years candle. It was a lovely soya wax, geranium scented candle which burn't with an orange glow, still very much needed in these January evenings. I'll keep the remaining wax and then when I have several I will melt them down again and add a new wick.
A glorious day on the common with lots of sunshine. Sitting on a bench and just soaking it up. This is selfcare. Blissfull. You can see the tree there now without it's decorations.
At home my January decoration, branches of catkins in a jug with some water, and hopefully the warmth of the house will bring some early spring buds to enjoy.
Today I have a vegetable and lentil soup bubbling on the stove, which is calling me, so I hope this week brings you some happy things,
Heather
The orange does look rather lovely, really zingy.

Your crochet is ace, speaking as a total beginner I am in awe, and I very much like the colours. Good job! Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm a die hard lover of a neutral palette..I have been working with colour and it really is fun.
ReplyDeleteYour order is looking fabulous. Have a great night, I'm in the mood to sit on the couch with my hook and yarn now...but I've a few more blogs to go. xo
