Hello Monday and Thank You


Hello friends! I thought today would be the perfect day to send you a little love note. Part early Valentine and a heaping helping of Thank You!

I want to thank all of my lovely readers, new and old. You make my shiny place here sparkle even more. Thank you to all the new followers. Thank you for all of the wonderful comments you take the time to leave, I read every one and so appreciate your kind words and your saying "Hello".

I have been taking some time away from my computer of late, I think we all need to do that from time to time, but I'm feeling refreshed and ready to jump back in. Perhaps it is the arrival of the Lunar New Year, new beginnings and all. I am so looking forward to the coming days! And you my friends, are a big part of that.

So thank you from the bottom of my heart, your'e simply the best!

You are not alone

Oh yes, it will. Though it may not make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, it is there. In all it's silent waiting, in it's jumble of colors and challenging stains of uncertain origin, it is there for you. A constant in an ever changing world. And how nice, to have freshly laundered bedsheets, a favorite shirt, and comfy pajamas all folded neatly and ready for the next go 'round. Soon, here at the little green cottage, there will be fair weather and linens out on the line...and that is indeed lovely, really.

After yesterdays laundry complaints, I thought I ought make it up to the laundry and try to see it in a different light...a much more lovely light.

Speaking of lovely things, which I would very much like to share...

This morning I was perusing a few blogs out there that I have not had much time for these days, taking in a few sites. I wandered over to the very inspirational sfgirlbybay blog for a little 'pick-me-up' and saw her post on yellow, very bright and cheery. As I scrolled through the happy images, I was quite surprised to see one of my little photos in the mix! What a nice way to start the day - in such wonderful company.

Then I received a message from the Engineer, he and his team at work, just won the BEST award for Most Sustainable Building Project! Way to go and congratulations!

Lastly, I am sharing my 'Mend and Make Do Basket'. The basket belonged to my grandmother and is so very nice in shape and size. It holds all my mending inside. I brought it up from the 'studio' for a bit of rainy day mending, just a little at a time you see. It just looked so sweet on my wee antique table with the lovely green glass knob, so I thought she deserved a nice photo shoot of her own.




My basket and me are off to the lounge for a mending session. Tell me, do you have a mending basket, box, bag or something of the like?
