Well, we are pretty much one week into February (already?!) and thankfully I think we are all feeling much better for it in our neck of the woods.
We have had some negatives this week:-
- I’ve had a headache almost every day to accompany my stuffy nose, I’m pretty sure it’s my allergies acting up.
- Myself and Emma still haven’t managed to get rid of our coughs from our original colds at the start of Jan, but they are much improved mercifully.
- Biggest negative of this week has to be our car though. We popped it in the garage for a full service to find it needs more work doing than we can easily afford and long story short by the end of March we will be adjusting our lifestyle to be without a car for a number of months while saving for a new one.
But mostly the days have been good, homely, family oriented days. Full of cosy, happy, lovely things. So here is some of what has made me smile this week…
::: Starting the 3rd row of my crochet mood blanket. Loving it’s colourfulness and I am warming to my edging colour at last!
::: The day our car went to pot, we took Emma out in her car instead. She is just too cute in her little VW.
::: A family trip to the play park, the windiest park ever. It is on top of the hill on which we live, over looking the sea front. With the current weather in the UK, it was…. refreshing!
::: Amusing myself one evening with little rosy flowers. I have a lovely frivolous decorative hooky plan brewing for these 🙂
::: Fiddling with and tweaking some little boy bow ties, soon to be stocked in my shop.
Yes, I have a much better more positive feeling about February. Thank the Lord!
I hope your February has started well and you are not being too badly affected by the crazy weather!
House Keeping Notes
As you may have noticed I have updated the look of the blog (thanks to my dear hubby’s design work) and will be tweaking things over the next week, so I apologise if you stop by and things are looking a bit wonky. I have updated the navigation bar at the top, Little Kitchen has been much neglected and so removed and encompassed under Lovely Little Home. I have also given my crochet related posts a dedicated space and link at the top under Lovely Little Crochet.
I am also about to update my shop and give it much more time and attention but I’ll talk more about that another time.
Well i’m very glad to hear that you’re feeling better along with your little one! As for the car, thats such a bummer! 🙁 They’re so expensive to upkeep… I hope you’re able to work that out!! Love your crocheted items and am looking forward to seeing more! 🙂
Thanks Carla 🙂 I’ve surprised myself with how unphased I have actually been by the car issue. The truth is that if it wasn’t for us living so far away from all our family, we really could go without. It is 95% convenience not necessity and I am really quite looking forward to the change of pace and savings!
Sorry about your car. Well, at least it’s better for the earth not to mention your wallet 😉
Oh how I wish I could go without a car! I to don’t have family close by me. I’d also have to leave for work at like 2 a.m. if I was to walk to work and get there by noon. But why am I complaining to you? I’m really glad you had a much better week. Hope you and Emma get better soon
God Bless,
