So I am Catching Up and Taking Stock with a big nod to Pip at meetmeatmikes
Taking Stock right now:
Making : Baskets, Beanies, Blankets and a Shawl.
Drinking : Tea, always tea.
Reading : The Dirty Chef by Matthew Evans and The Five Greatest Warriors by Matthew Reilly.
Wanting : To sew a quilt with some gorgeous hand blocked Indian fabrics but I can't decide on a design.
Playing : Lots of retro 80's on CD.
Deciding : That I will knit my biggest little a Sky Blanket to commemorate his 10th year.
Wishing : For rain.
Enjoying : School holidays. Spending all day with my guys is awesome.
Waiting : For the yarn, for the Sky Blanket to arrive from Bendigo Woollen Mills.. so excited.
Liking : That Winter is here and we have already celebrated 2 of the 4 Winter birthdays.
Wondering : If the veggie patch is getting enough sun.
Loving : How my boys love each other.
Considering : If I should take the littlest to pre-prep before he starts school next year.
Watching : True Blood on Blu-ray. Halfway through Season 2. So much fun....
Hoping : I can finish the blanket on the needles and free them up before Saturday.
Marvelling : At how much better I feel after a haircut.
Needing : To sort and photograph my yarn stash and upload it to Ravelry.
Smelling : Freshly washed blonde curls on sweet little boy heads.
Following : Whole Hearted Journal.
Wearing : All the warm things.
Noticing : The days getting just a wee bit longer after the Winter Solstice.
Knowing : I am so much healthier (and lighter) now that my love and I are walking 9 kms a day. Everyday.
(This is the path we take)
Thinking : About how much my little guy has taught me in the last 10 years.Feeling : So proud of all my guys and who they are growing up to be.
Admiring : My girl! Her style, her attitude, her thoughts, her sense of humour. Just Her.
Sorting : Clothes and storage as the littlest transitions from Mama and Dadda's room to sleeping in the boys bedroom.
Buying : Oranges, lemons, limes, ginger, rhubarb, mandarines and silver beet direct from the farmer at the top of our street. He is often around for a chat as well, it's so good hearing his stories and knowing we are supporting a local farmer.
Getting: Excited about the next two birthdays..... 10 and 5 both such important ones.
Bookmarking : Lots of Flying Geese and single star quilt patterns.
Disliking : Winter coughs and sniffles, especially during school holidays.
Opening : Awesome reports from both my guys.
Giggling : When my littlest tells me 'a joke'....
Snacking : On local apples, mandarines and homemade ginger cake.
Helping : Winter sniffles on their way with lots of garlic and warming soups.
loved the recap, we have been walking a lot here and I've seen a difference for the better in my stamina! But now we have a huge heat wave and it's icky out..so I'm trying to think of what to do until the humidity breaks. Love the curls and the hat!!
