BUT - I love these in-between days in the holidays, not quite one thing or the other, and the bleak weather outside makes being inside even more appealing dont you think?
Im lucky in that I am on holiday for a while longer, so Im making the most of these lazy, comfy, cosy days.
I have had time to do a bit of cross-stitching - all to be revealed soon...
...time for reading, these lovely vintage books were gifted to me by Sue from @home - she knows me too well...
Enjoying the cosy candle light, this was a gift to me recently from my DD, she knows me so well...lovely autumnal motif....and the candle was a yankee candle scent called warm spice - I wish you could smell it - the most super, comforting, something-nice-baking scent you could ever wish for...
And yesterday we had a lovely celebration round at mine as my darling Mum turned 87 years young - this is the cake I made for her...
...all gone now of course! It was a lemon cake, filled with cream and lemon curd. DH made us a fantastic roast dinner, the evening was full of laughter and memories. My darling Mum taught me the love of all things crafty and creative when I was little, when we truly did have to make do and mend. Thanks Mum!
Well, Im off to make another cuppa, and get on with a bit more leisurely stitching.
Have a lovely day!
