The Usual Stuff

♥ the usual gazing out of the attic window (I never tire of it) ♥



♥ the usual delicious morning coffee (mmmmmm) ♥



♥ the usual over excited back yard flower snipping (in mid November!) ♥



♥ the usual heart-skippy bathroom posy appreciation (yippeeee!) ♥



♥ the usual weekend hooky stuff (more tutorial making) ♥



♥ the usual creative Mummy play time (a silly-sweet moment) ♥



♥ the usual rush of happiness (caused by multiple blankets + sunlight) ♥



♥ the usual endless snack providing (two year old builders get v hungry) ♥



♥ the usual creativity for the Little People (Christmas stuff already?) ♥



♥ the usual stroll through the park (braving the cold) ♥



♥ the usual joy as I accompany a chattery Little B (we held hands and ran) ♥



♥ the usual walk home from the park along the canal (so peaceful) ♥



♥ the usual wonder at the beauty of still water + reflections (sigh) ♥



♥ the usual delight in cosying up in bed (almost there now, it's been a long day) ♥

Sharing some snap shots taken here and there across my weekend as I went about doing The Usual Stuff. Mothering, creating, relaxing, strolling, reading, slurping, prettifying, playing, snuggling, gazing.  It's all so ordinary, the stuff I do most days as I go about the business of being a mum/wife/creative wotnot.

My blog most probably contains dozens of weekend picture-posts like this one, full of nothing in particular, yet full of everything that is Me. It's who I am, and it's what I do. And I wouldn't change it for the world.

It may be usual for you, but it certainly isn't dull or boring! You have so much colour in your life, and you are very good at spotting the beautiful in the "ordinary". :)

Hi Lucy, We love you being you too and wouldn't change a thing! xxBrenda

[Brooke]

There is nothing ordinary about it! :)

[Fiona]

Your usual seems just lovely to us readers of your blog. I love seeing all those snippets from your weekend. Fiona x

Lovely and colourful and full of some great crochet creations. The new ripple blanket is looking especially nice, I like the last photo too. I've been making a granny square blanket for our bed. It's "finished" - except for the border, and of course, the ends, which will take me a few months I think!

usual, but not ordinary! beautiful pictures; enjoy a peek into your world. :)

[Purple princess]

Wonderful. Extra - ordinary :)

[Mrs Tiggiewinkle]

The usual can also be the wondeful things in life!

[Sarah]

Ordinary life should always be celebrated xxx

[Helen]

This is such a nice post
How lovely to recognise the everyday things that bring you joy and happiness
I hope to work on my own list like this because it feels important to celebrate "the usual".
It makes me think of people having "the usual" in pubs because actually that is what they like to have, not just because it is what's there

As I am preparing for the week ahead, I took a look in your Attic and it brought a smile to my face. Reminiscing about snack times and walks gone by.. My youngest is now in secondary school but checking in with you, brings back sweet memories! X

Hi Lucy , hope you never stop sharing the usual with us. They are such relaxing, happy posts and always wonderful.

I love these posts, they look devine and cause me to stop and look at my own life, void of comforts and simple pleasures and routine. Makes me want to snuggle up with blankets and drink a foamy coffee!!

[Colleen]

I live "across the pond" so I'm always interested in your photos from where you live :) Just keep the usual stuff coming :)

[renee]

Do you have a tutorial on hoe you made the gripper on your crochet hook thats red with white dots?

[Cathy]

I love your world, and your sharing! ♥

[Lisa G.]

"the beauty of still water" - yes! That is something I associate with your country. I've seen so many pictures of rivers with homes right along their banks and water as placid as can be. I'm always struck by it.

[Colleen]

Lucy I have to ask,,,,,,where did you get the little owl pillow on your bed?? I am guessing its a pillow??
It is soooooo cute!!!

[Rose]

That's the lovely thing about where we live -- it is part of who we are. Usual maybe, commonplace never.

[Jennie]

It's always those little ordinary things we miss the most if we loose them- happy, good things to make up a life! :)

[Shirley Flavell]

We love you for being you. Shirley

[Alessandra]

Nice to visiting you!!! It's like going back Home, each time!!!
thank you, xxx Ale

[Lilea]

I love "everything that is you"! As many many times as I've seen photos of your bed, I am always enchanted by each new photo. They always make me want to run upstairs and change my linens and whip up a crochet bedspread!

[Melissa]

It's the usual stuff that keeps me coming back day after day!! I love the privilege you afford us of a peek into your colourful world!! :-)

[Donna]

And I bet everyone who comes here is looking for the "usual" Lucy stuff. Never change. Keep giving us a day of usuals. Thanks!!
