Feeling....

It's so grey here today.

Winds with drizzle rain today....

 just like yesterday & the day before that & the day before that.

Dreary days season has began.

Domestic delights otherwise known as housework 

were on my TO DO list for yesterday

but I just wasn't feeling it... 

I was feeling....

 candle light, fruit tea, yummy sweet tangerines 

  and creative time with wool.

A little bit of ME time in the morning just

while the house was blissfully quite.

I have started yet another scarf.

Inspired by the English Garden scarf

from a book by Kazuko Ryolai called in it's German version 

Vintage Häkeln but I believe it's originally a Japanese crochet book. 

For my colour choice....

I have fallen head over heals for a Tilda fabric 

I used to up-cycle my tweed jacket a few weeks back.

I'm not normally a Tilda person but this fabric does it for me.

I love everything about it ESPECIALLY the colours!!!
When I came across this wool

by Debbie Bliss which perfectly matches the fabrics colours,
I know it was the only way to go.  

Honestly....

when I sat down, I had every intention 

after my pot of tea was finished

 to get up and get on with my day of domestic delights.

 (I think I call it that to make it sound more appealing to me. 

Not that it really works)

This is the thing with intentions though....

there only that

....intentions.

By early afternoon I was all tea-ed out 

but still not feeling it.... 

 half the day over, baby paperdoll home from school 

and the sky still covered by a thick grey blanket

 the housework just had to wait for another day. 

I was feeling...

 board games & hot chocolate 

I love playing board games, 

even though most of the times I'm the looser

much to the delight of baby Paperdoll,

we still have to practice a little

....be a humble winner and a dignified looser bit. 

I had a nice day doing just what I felt like 

a real luxury for me.

Today 

I'm still not feeling it on the domestic front

I'm feeling....

Christmas decorations 

unfortunately they will have to wait though for a few days as

I do really really really have to focus on my housework.
