fine

in response to Jane's comment in my last post, I have to say that everything is fine, perfectly fine actually, there was no saddness at all in my words. These days, I'm a night blogger, most of the time it happens between 11 & 12pm, and by this time, as you can guess, I'm pretty tired, like everyone of us. That's why most of my blog posts have hardly any (interesting) content & most of the time lots of photos that I "cut & paste" from Flickr. Because I can't do much more than that, most days.

today is the last day of school before half term / autumn break (callitwhatyawant) begins, tonight. Can't believe that two months have already come & gone since school started, my goodness. My three guys've been having a cold (or more) these days ... thank goodness (plllllease quick knock on wood for me, girls) I still haven't caught anything, so I can take care of everyone at once. But all the walks to/from school, as much as it is good sport, is really tiring, and the school rhythm is too. I am SO looking forward to this short break in the daily rhythm ! This past week, getting my carcass out of this warm, comfy, cozy bed of mine has been a real struggle ! aaaagh ! (yes, you can laugh !!)

looking around me, I see lots of small or big WIPs (work in progress), which is so good ... but I also see mess EVERYWHERE (yes, yes, no kidding, mess, in every single possible place & even in places you couldn't even think mess could spread !). Tsk tsk, not SO good. In order to get my ideas clear and neat & my place back in order, I need to work on that during this break.

clear
clean
declutter
sort
(re-)organize
throw/give/repurpose
and then, feel better

yes, always the same thing ... I know, it really sounds like déjà vu, right ?

but before I start doing this serious autumn big clean (um, of MY corners only, hey guys, I'm no wonderwoman !!!), would you let me spread one more time on the kitchen table & craft a bit, wouldn't you ?

and create some pincushion goodness with vintage (floral + plain linen)& eco friendly (kapok + handmade wooden buttons) materials ...

aaaah, that's better. Amongst very busy days like yesterday, I'm happy I managed to make something good & crafty happen !

ok, then I'll bid you all byebye until Monday. Or early if I'm inspired to do so. If weather allows, we'll go to the botanical garden tomorrow, to enjoy the autumn colors while they're still there.

now, will you be gentle with yourself, and as soon as you can, get your lovely carcass on the sofa, with something nice to read or to listen to, and something tasty to drink :) You ALL deserve it !
