When I needed a break from crocheting I made a few hanging ghosts from some white fabric I found in my studio. They're hanging from the light over the kitchen table.
Sunday was a menagerie of projects — everyone moving around the house to their own beat — mowing the grass, sorting laundry, laboring over homework, filing stacks of bills. All of those tasks that nag at you, annoy you, yet when they're done you feel ten tons lighter.
Sometimes happiness is a quiet weekend at home.
Cheers for "ten tons lighter!"
ReplyDeleteAnd for crochet partners, and white ghosties, and quiet home weekends.
Yes, cheers!
DeleteHope you're feeling better today Natalie.
I love those kind of weekends where there is no where to go and you can cozy up and get things done at home. I also love doing projects together with my girls, I was just remembering that last night, how Natalie and I worked on tissue paper globes for a party till late at night-laughing and chatting-gosh I miss my girls. And another sign that we are Kindred spirits-the foot cream on your bedside table-mine looks the same :) Love that doggie face~
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad there's someone out there with dry foot issues like me. Mine look like old men, crispy old men.
DeleteSounds like my kind of day.... great pics too. I have the same Heel Rescue cream, same dispenser (love that) on my night stand. heehee
ReplyDeleteToo funny about the cream. Sounds like we aren't alone. Maybe it's a 'northern' thing? My family in Texas has no issues with their feet :(
DeleteIndeed. Those are my favorite kinds of days.
ReplyDeleteAren't they the best Angela. Quiet days help me feel sane and grounded.
DeleteAfter an exciting weekend of wedding celebration/prep for my youngest daughter's November 10th wedding, reading about your cozy weekend was very calming, Jenny. Thanks for posting :) xx from Gracie
ReplyDeleteSounds like an exciting time for you. Can't wait to read all about it.
DeleteYou paint a beautiful picture of home, sweet home. The little ghosts took me back to our home a long time ago. I love your life, Jen! What a great family!
ReplyDeleteThanks Daddy King.
DeleteI loved this post. Sometimes quiet weekends truly are the best. Sitting on the sofa crocheting with your daughter sounds so wonderful, the stuff of memories. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Gillian. I'm hoping she keeps up with the crocheting so we can spend many more weekends side-by-side on the couch.
