Sunday rambles





I walk down
through my village, the sun is coming in and out behind the clouds. Trees are starting to change colors. I pass the flowers shop and all the beautiful autumn flowers arrangements. I take a mental note to tidy up my geraniums when coming back, preparing to change geraniums for autumn colors at the front of my house.
   

I cross the fields with my village on my right, walk along the river, into the woods following the path between the pine trees shooting for the stars. An hour later I'm back home longing for a frothy coffee and some crochet time on my bench. One has to take the chance when the weather is nice, right.  

 

I prep my favorite spot: blanket and sheep skin to sit on, pillow for my lower back. Table cloth on the stone table. I bring out my crochet WiP, the Blanket Of Hope. Oh my, I need some Blanket Of Hope therapy on this gorgeous day. A newly purchased pot with autumn blossoms and a bright orange pumpkin at the foot of my bench will make my spot even more cozy. I get distracted and spend a good half an hour taking care of my geraniums at the front of the house and by the time I come back, with frothy coffee and all, my place is stolen by a little Miss Maya the cat... She refuses to move. I gently try to pull the blanket a bit, but she is moving at all. I don't have the heart to push her off... Big sigh... there goes my crochet time...

 

Well oh well, luckily I'm a multi project kind of girl with a number of WiP's on the go at the same time... I fetch WiP no 2, the Cluster V-stitch Baby Blanket. It will do. We sit there, Maya and I, until my coffee is gone and my fingers cold. It starts to sprinkle and I pack it all up, put all the blankets and pillows in the shed and rush inside before the rain comes. Next time the sun is out I'll do it all again... prep my space, get distracted but eventually I'll have my moment. Sometimes just 5 minutes, other times more. I love my spot. I love my bench.

  2. Autumn looks so GOOD where you are, and my goodness your blanket looks more beautiful every time I see it. There is something precious about settling into a cosy space that both looks and feels good, I'm sure all those deliciously good vibes get absorbed into the crochet stitches, making the blanket extra special somehow. Well, that's how I like to think about it!
    Love to you and yours my friend, I hope for emotionally calm waters for us both this week xxxxxxx
