Such a cosy, stay-home Sunday.
A string of quiet, gentle, mindful activities.
Kitchen time and sofa time and Attic time.
Me time and Mummy time and Family time.
Full of everything and nothing-much.
♥
Edit to add :: I'm called Attic24 on Pinterest. I'm just beginning with it so my boards are only in baby stages. But Oh.My.Goodness. What fun!
Another Edit :: The banana bread is fantastic, it's a Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall recipe and can be found here. And I bought my gorgeous owl cushion from a local shop, but you can find them at Sass and Belle (prepare for The Major Wanties to hit. Be warned!)
Bliss, what a lovely Sunday, a little sprinkling of this and that. I like the little garland, it is very sweet.

Sounds lovely Lucy!
I have been trying for the last 3 hours to master the ripple pattern and its proving quite a struggle - i did only start to crochet at Christmas so maybe i am being a little ambitious!!!

Hi Lucy did you ever post the sweet flower granny blanket pattern?

Your view from the attic looks glorious today ~ that winter sunlight does marvels for the soul. The roasted veggies look rather good too!! Great little photo diary ~ thanks for sharing :)

Sounds like the perfect weekend except for little man. Hope he's feeling better soon.
I have been a reader of your blog since last year but I've enjoyed reading it so much.
Hope you have a lovely week.

Your day looks a lot like mine ... even though I'm half way across the world! I also think that loaf likes delicious!

sounds perfect to me wish my Sunday was like that, I did manage some "hooky" though whilst travelling to Clevleys for a bracing walk!

Hi Lucy - your day sounds lovely and I can just imagine the smells of your lovely dinner. I so wanted to share this link with you for crocheting in the ends of wool on projects - I found it on pinterest and have been using it for latest little blanket I am doing. It takes just a little more time each time you change a colour but so worth it. See what you think. http://twistyarnshop.blogspot.com/2009/05/russian-join.html

A great day, it seems. I'm off to find you on Pinterest.

What a fab flowery bunting! For now I think I'll stick to boring rows, but a girl can dream....!
I was wondering about tension.....what's the ideal tension? Mine is very naughty and a bit all over the place at the moment, but oh well, it's my first attempt so I won't aim for perfection (yet!)
Hope little B feels better soon! I'm sure mummy snuggles are just what he needs!
