Weekend Colour

 

 

 

 

My weekend was full of C's :: comfort, cosiness, crafting, crochet, cuddles, cake, coffee, colour.

Enjoyed it enormously, this homey time with my little family.

Enjoyed the comfort of being within our four walls while the weather did unspeakably miserable things outside.

I need to tell you that  in amongst all these lovely C's, I also had a little ponder about Attic24 over the weekend.

I had a good long think about the time and space that blogging takes up in my day (which can be quite considerable at times).

I balanced it out against the pressing demands of Other Things also needing my time and space right now.

And I came to the the conclusion that as much as I have to attend to Other Things in my life at this time, I quite simply also have to continue to find a little time in each day to be here at Attic24.

I have to continue to record the things that make me tick, to document my thoughts, observations, ideas, pleasures, creativity.

Because it makes me feel so good to be here.

And it makes me feel so miserable thinking about not being here.

And I'm all for the Feel-Good.

However, for the time being I'm going to have to reduce the time I spend blogging.

So I shall try to be here most days, but making shorter postings. 

Its a compromise you see, and one that I feel will do us all fine for the time being.

I know you'll understand, cos you're so good like that.

Right now then, I'm going to finish up with the words and say Toodle-ooo.

I'm off to wield a paintbrush and get busy with those Other Things.

See you Tomorrow for some outdoorsy pictures from my weekend.

Lucy, I'm glad you are still going to be around. Yours is one of the very few blogs that I check daily.

[EdaMommy]

Me too. Good for you for sorting out will work best for you! ^_^ All my best!

[kate]

Same here!
A day without a little bit of Attic 24 colour is a grey day indeed!
Enjoy the nesting x

[Karin]

Of course I understand!
Take your time, do the things you have to do!
A blog with less words is still a blog....
Not just a blog, it's still Attic24, the most inspiring blog I have ever seen!

[Rebecca Woods]

Ditto!!! Glad you are staying around. I love your blog and it makes me happy seeing your hookiness and colour.

[Katy Smith]

Hi Lucy! I just dicovered your beautiful blog this summer and have had a blast with the wonderful ideas. I have made 2 of your designs and can't wait to make some of the flowers and the new bird. Thanks for sharing so much of your colorful life in England. It is so good to reassess our lives at times though and I hope you get all the things done that you need to before the BIG EVENT! Have a wonderful day!

[Nicky Hale]

Phew was getting worried, having just discovered your blog and sinking into the delightful, lovliness of your imagery. :)

[Linda]

Enjoy and feel at peace with all that you do. Its lovely to pop in and see you but also want to feel you are not stretching yourself too much with so much on in your lovely busy life

[Vivienne]

So glad you're still going to be around, would really miss you if you weren't! Of course we understand that you have other pressing issues at the mo.Take care.:)

[Jules]

Lucy
Your pictures made me gasp with delight this morning. Literally. I don't do that very often - gasp out loud about something, but today they were a DELighT!
Thank you.

[Vivienne]

So glad you're still going to be around, would miss you and your delightful blog if you weren't! Of course we understand that you have more pressing issues at the mo. Take care. :)

A wonderful display of colour Lucy and on the darkess of days 'or' weekends you always know how to fill it with such vibrancy (is that a proper word?? 'Oh well, it sounds good to me!)

It's good to have you still in your Attic space, and there is nothing wrong with more pictures and less words - they kind of tell their own story.

Have a lovely, lovely day - the sun is shiny here, at last!

take care,

Nina xxxx

Take it easy sweetie, this last trimester can really take it out of you.
Love your colour fix x

[rigmor]

glad youre staying! I just love your colorful post !!!

[Robbie]

You're the best Lucy!
Love the way you think and ponder and put things into perspective. I think the compromise will make you happy! Have a great day.
Robbie : )
Do you have Halloween in England?

[Siobhan]

I'm glad you like it as much as we do. You are my very favourite blog because.... oh so many reasons! But we must never get too demanding of you. You must always do as much or as little as you like or need to. And never feel bad when you don't feel like blogging or you simply haven't the time. We WILL understand. It's your blog and you choose to share it with us - we are very lucky that you do. Thanks for today's colourful post - unexpected and a really nice surprise.

[Carole]

Ooooooohhhhhhh Lucy as you know i just love love love love love your blogs. It is the only blog i click onto every day without fail. No pressure eh? You are the best bloggger ever. Any little blog you can manage is soooo appreciated. Thank you so much. Lots of love Carole from Rossendale xxxxxxxx

[Linda]

Take care of yourself, your needs and those of your family! If a quick post is all you can manage, then that sounds like a pretty good compromise. I'm all about the Feel-Good, too.

[Claire]

Hi Lucy, I'm a frequent reader but first time commenter.
I was so worried you were going to follow your consideration of the time you spend blogging by saying you weren't going to do it any more, and so glad when you said you were. It's so nice that it means so much to you as well as being enjoyed by us.
Shorter blogs are fine by me - look forward to keeping up with the colour.

[Charlotte]

I just found your blog the other day, fell in love with it right away. I read all that you have written and had been waiting for today for something new. When I started reading, I just felt you were going to close your blog and I was feeling sad. Glad you are staying... you have a wonderful blog and I am so happy that I will be able to keep reading about you and your life. Thanks for staying.

[Julie]

I love reading your blog it is so interesting. Compromise is Good, shorter blogs are Good, please don't leave Blogland

[Lisa Smith]

Lucy, thank you for sharing your colorful, creative world with us; you are truly a gifted communicator. I am thrilled to hear you are not giving up the blog completely; it wouldn't be the same without visiting you! Even my husband, when he sees me on the computer, will walk by and ask "How's Lucy in England?" I think that's so cute when he does that. Enjoy your nesting & please thank your Little People & Husband for me for sharing you!
Best Wishes,
Lisa in Lake Oswego, Oregon

Hi Lucy,
A phrase I read and liked (on Marmalade Rose's blog I think) is "blogging without obligation". I'm so glad that you are going to continue to blog, because I love reading your blog so much and would feel very sad if you stopped. However, it is YOUR blog and you should blog for yourself and I don't think that anyone will think badly of you if you if you need to blog less frequently, or write shorter posts. Or just picture posts if that's what you feel like doing!

I'm leaving Leeds for good on Saturday, and I'm a bit gutted that I never made it to one of your coffee and crochet mornings but you never know, perhaps in the future I will be around the Yorkshire way again and can pop in to say hello. But for now, thank you so much for your blog, and I wish you well with your nesting, hooking, painting, bump24-ing and your family.
Lots of love, Heather xxxxxx

Hi Lucy, I have been reading your blog constantly since May last year and its seen me through some bad times and kept me cheerful. Just wanted to say thanks, yours is the best blog ever.Best wished to all your family including Bump24 xxxx

Yipeeeeee. It will be so nice to still have you around. Even if you blog just had one work, HI...

What a fun, colorful and peaceful weekend you had with the L.P.s. You always come up with such fun little project for them to work on. It's amazing the colors you and they come up with. I think they are taking after Mum.

I'm totally loving those stripie sock. I have been keeping my eye out for something like this, but to no avail.

Sooooooooo, you are holding us in suspense as to what you are painting. My mind is spinning thinkin of all the fun options you have.. Is it a painting for you new Bump24 area? Is it the Bump24 room? Is it that antique cabinet for the bath we saw a while back? Don't keep us guessing for tooooooooo long!!!!!!!!!

Have a great week. Opppppps there's the door bell they are here and ready to begin working for the week on our refacing. Today, Laundry Room... Nice not to have to do the laundry over the weekend, as they were out on the garage......he-he....

Hugs,
