Life is good. The house may need some cleaning, there is laundry to fold, dogs to walk, bread to bake, projects to finish (both crafty and much bigger house projects), but life is good. My family is amazing and I am thankful. We have some great friends and neighbors, for this I am thankful. Amidst all the chaos, bills, work and general business that most of us deal with there is this wonderful foundation of love, caring and support. Spring will come (after at least one more good snow storm), our garden will be plentiful, the sun will feel warm on my face and the mood will shift from snuggling next to the wood stove to planting and longer days before we know it. A new baby will be born to my baby brother and his wife, for this I am beyond joyous! So life is good, I am smiling this morning as I think about things that I love, nothing special, just some things I'm lovin' right now...
Like this sweet picture of baby Molly I came across recently...how is it that she has grown so fast right before my eyes???
I love this diagram of a garden gnome...I don't even know which child drew it (according to the picture it was Arthur Weasley) but come on...this is cute, so cute I had to hand it up in the kitchen.
I love this breathtaking colorway from one of my favorite yarns malabrigo it's called Indiecita and it is so yummy!
Then there is this luscious pile of fabric that I've been looking at all week just begging me to be creative.
other things I'm lovin' on right now...milk paint (I want to paint everything with it), and this cinnamon-raisin bread recipe (I use half whole wheat flour).
Getting lost in blog land is a blast (even when I get nothing done) there are so many creative people out there sharing their ideas and lives with the world.
I guess that's enough for today:) Enjoy your day and find something to be lovin' on right now.

That picture of the two of them was the day before we moved into the house! I haven't seen it in years. Thanks for the smile babe.

ReplyDeleteOh heavens I love that gnome diagram! Ollie Winter has been doing diagrams very similar to this lately!
And malabrigo is one of my absolute favorites as well- that colorway is gorgeous.
