Lately on Mondays

I'm toying with having days with a regular theme on this little place in cyberspace. I'll try this today and see how we go. It's mainly just to give you all a quick rundown on what's been happening down here on another level.

Making:

I've been into amigurmi crochet lately. I haven't completed anything yet, which is the way I roll with most craft projects! At the moment I have almost finished a small amigurumi monkey but there seems to be errors in the pattern and I am too much of a novice crocheter to know how to fix them!

I think I made the head inside-out.....and the arm is too short and  fat, despite following the pattern closely!

I've also finished a blanket knitted with yarn I had left over from other projects....plus a couple of balls I *may* have bought to add to it.

Cooking:

Ummm....nothing! I can't remember the last time I actually cooked or baked anything. I'm in the middle of a ten day stint of working and most foodstuffs are those of the convenient kind - fruit, crackers, coffee, tea, toast. I miss cooking to tell you the truth!

Drinking:

Coffee. Skinny lattes, no sugar.

Reading:

I love reading, I really do but with being on anti-depressants I seem to have lost the concentration to be able to sit and get involved in a good story. I have several books on the go at the moment, none of which I am even close to finishing. 

Wanting:

I just want to stop; to have some time to sit and be still and think and breathe and centre myself again. That, above all things would be my dream right now. 

Looking:

At a lot of different gardens and wondering what would suit my humble abode.

Playing:

A lot of Candy Crush and Pet Rescue. Kind of addicted to these two games!

Wasting:

See above.

I'm also wasting a lot of time overthinking something I really don't need to be thinking about at all anymore. Does anyone else do that? Waste their precious energy on something they don't need to?

Sewing:

Sock monkeys!

This was taken before I added tiny button nostrils.

I've always wanted to make one of these and now I have so mission complete! They're cheap, quick and easy.

Wishing:

......that I could just buy a van, convert it and take off into the wide, open yonder to explore this wonderful country of ours.....

Enjoying:

My relationship with my children.

Waiting:

For Saturday when we will be taking off to Tasmania!

Liking:

Myself. I've discovered how important that is......

Wondering:

....if now is the time.....

Loving:

....being creative.....

Hoping:

.....for new beginnings, new horizons.......

Marvelling:

.......at the miracle of new life. My sister and her husband are expecting their first baby at the end of January. I never lose that sense of how marvellous pregnancy, birth and babies are. A new life beginning is always a source of wonder and something to be in awe of.

Needing:

Closure and peace.

Smelling:

....someones heated up lunch.

Wearing:

A denim dress, fawn coloured cardigan and black slip ons.

Following:

....the beat of my own drum....

The road is home

Edenland

Tune in to Radio Carly

Sparkling Adventures

Noticing:

.....new life bursting in the garden.

Knowing:

.....that I am ok, just as I am.

Thinking:

....about what to pack for Tasmania!

Feeling:

......the post-production blues.
