Monday Musings On Tuesday

Right Now:  I have been having a look on Rav.  A  friends Birthday is in just over a week and I wanted to make her something.  I wanted inspiration and found it.  I actually have the recommended yarn, which may just add a little bit of extra meaning to it.  I need to get the yarn out of the barn (more stash surfing!) tomorrow and get cracking with it.  It may be do-able  to get done in time for her Birthday.  Sounds like a good plan to me.

This Weekend:  The weather has been absolutely gorgeous - lots of sun, very little breeze.  I could cope with this.  HK, Mary-Jane and I have been able to spend time outside in the garden.

Some Plans This Week:  To go to the Country Market on Thursday for the morning and see what it is all about.  I have two letters to write to penpals

If I Find Some Time For Myself I Would Like To: Hmm, I guess at the moment I would like to get the above mentioned gift started and completed

I Am Grateful For:  HK, for keeping me going and being able to lean on him in times of need, for picking me up when I stumble

Some Thoughtful Intentions For The Week:  CR.  For Me, to keep me strong

Something That Makes Me Smile: Mary-Jane, for laughing and giggling -  mimicing my actions that make her laugh and giggle - being able to share laughing with her, and her being only 19 months old xxxx

Monday Musings On Tuesday

Tuesdays are happening more often!

Right Now:  I have been catching up with the blog.  I have spent a few hours working on my Winter Apple Shawl.  I have made a few mistakes, thankfully noticed them not long after I'd made them so not too much tinking.

This Weekend: A trip to St Bees, a tired Mary-Jane and bargains to be had

Some Plans For This Week: Not to make too many plans!  I went to see a friend yesterday and am going out again on Thursday.  Friday I am doing my Food Hygiene Award, so I can be a produced at The Country Market.

If I Find Some Time For Myself I Would Like To:  do some baking.  Do some sugarcraft, perhaps ideally find something in one of my new sugarcraft books and have a go at making that.  Failing that I would like to have a good look through and read of my books

I am grateful for: HK, for who he is and what he means to me

Some Thoughtful Intentions For The Week: For Carol Riley.  I have written to her, posted it on Saturday.  I have sent her a cloth with picture of Praying Hands

Something That Makes Me Smile:  This afternoon, Mary-Jane came up to me on the sofa and spontaneously planted four kisses on my lips.  I got very gushy.

Monday Musings On Tuesday

Right Now: Am thinking What have I forgotten to do?  I'm sure there was something I wanted to do on the laptop tonight.  After thinking about it, it might be send a couple of emails and blog about going to Gosforth Church and Irton Church to have a look at their history.  Photos with this one.

This Weekend:  The weekend Seems a long time away.  Perhaps because it has just dawned on me that it is Tuesday today.  I have had a lot to deal with in the last week or two and it has pickled my head somewhat. 

Some Plans For The Week - It would be nice if the world slowed down a bit and that the powers that be no longer conspire to take the rug from under my feet.  It is Craft & Natter's second meeting on Thursday.  I am hoping to do some baking tomorrow for it.

If I Find Some Time For Myself - Therapeutic knitting and baking, some things don't change, just the degree of need to do them

I Am Grateful For:  Living in a beautiful part of the country.  For my Auntie Ann.  For HK & MJ, as ever.

Some Thoughtful Intentions For The Week:  For my dear Friend Carol Riley.  This will be a regular Thoughtful Intention for the foreseeable

Something That Makes Me Smile: Sharing a secret giggle with HK

Monday Musings On Tuesday

Right Now: I have just finished my second item for my Ravelry Itsy Bitsy Swap, I'm getting late going to bed

This Weekend:  Auntie Ann-In-America came to stay for a couple of weeks.  Lots of catching up is being done

Some Plans This Week:  Take Mary-Jane to playgroup on Tuesday (done), see D, go on a trip to Caldbeck, Rheged and Penrith on Saturday

If I Find Some Time For Myself I Would Like To:  Do some baking - out of my new WI Vintage Teatime book

I Am Grateful For:  Friends, and friends being friends

Some Thoughtful Intentions For The Week:  For HK's back to continue to get better

Something That Makes Me Smile:  It is a standard thing that Mary-Jane and HK make me smile.  Positive energy returning to me
