Like my children playing outside all day. In lovely autumn sunshine. The sound of their laughter. The knowledge that this time last week was so different, and so very happy that Emily is absolutely fine.
Taking an afternoon nap. I know! The decadence of it all. Bliss!
And having a friend not laugh too hard when I told her I didn't understand where the remaining epp pattern pieces were for my snowball block, because my brain wasn't working well enough to work out they were just a portion of the main octagon.
Cutting the next bits from Kona Coal and loving the contrast of the coal against the bright oranges and yellows.
It was a peaceful day. I truly appreciate that.

sounds lovely! I could do with a bit of peace for a change
ReplyDeleteGlad you have had such a nice day - and I love those fussy cut scissors.
ReplyDeleteI got Hex a Go Go in the post this morning and haven't had a chance to peek at it yet, after dinner - is it sad that I look forward to that for my Saturday night?
Sounds like a wonderful day (apart from your mam heading north!) - love your block!
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect to me, although a shame your mum had to go home. So glad that Emily is now better
ReplyDeleteI had an afternoon snooze too - bliss. So happy E is back to her old self and that you had such a lovely time with your mum.
ReplyDeleteYup...definitely loving orange/grey combos at the moment
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day and yay for Nan naps ;-)
ReplyDeleteso glad to hear Emily is back to herself and that you got a cat nap! xx
ReplyDeletePerfect indeed! Glad all is how it should be, including your blocks, that looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to figure it out in the end ;o)
ReplyDeleteLovely things, all of 'em, especially fit and healthy (and outdoors playin not annoying you) children!!
ReplyDeleteI think getting through a "sick child episode" just makes you appreciate them more. Every laugh, joke, silly question, all that comes with being Mum. Sarah
ReplyDeleteGlad you have had a good day - the joys of an afternoon nap! I think they should be compulsory.

ReplyDeleteSigh - sounds so much better than last weekend!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day. Di x
ReplyDeleteGreat day for sure but I would have laughed.... Hard! Hehe
ReplyDeleteWe all need a little down time! Yesterday I just mooched round, mainly looking for inspiration for Mouthy Stitches! Can't beat a nana nap!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad things are back to normal. I need a stress free day and have declared this Monday is di's mental health day. I'm going to take a much needed nap!
ReplyDeleteI did laugh really - in fact it was going to be the subject of my next post!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Elimy is feeling better - normal life returns - bliss!
Hooray for Mums and down time! Glad to hear that Emily is feeling much better :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice day for you! The coal looks just lovely!

ReplyDeletePeaceful is good.
ReplyDeleteSuch teeny tiny stitches you clever girl. Love the Kona Coal.
ReplyDeleteThis project looks just fabulous. I can't wait to see what you do with it. And you're right, that Kona Coal works beautifully with those warm oranges :-)
