It started with my breakfast in my favourite bowl (a little treat in the sales!). It is aptly named, the Goldilocks bowl, as my favourite start to a day is porridge.
This has to be consumed with a LARGE mug of coffee and some appropriate reading material!!
Then it was on to some crochet. This is what I am attempting to make....
The colours are gorgeous but a little too bright for me. I like more subdued tones...
I am loving how they are coming together. The little piles of squares are adding up. The colours and yarn have been Ravelled here.A little baking was done to feed hungry children coming in from school. Banana muffins were the order of the day as I had a few bananas to use up quickly. Yum Yum!
Now the kids are home, homework is being done and I have dinner on. Lovely roasting smells wafting through my kitchen. I will leave you with a picture of the socks I FINALLY completed at the weekend. I am quite pleased with them. Much better than my first pair...at least both feet are the same size this time!! Hee Hee!
They almost look blue here but they are green. This shows the colours much better..
♥♥♥Have a lovely week my bloggy friends ♥♥♥

Lovely! How nice to read your day. Mine was mainly driving about (son at work experience) and housework, but I did, like you, fit in a relaxed late breakfast with Country Living! (Mine was January 2004, New to Me at the Christmas fair!). Have a great week.
Simple pleasures are the best - yes, they are!!! It's just cheery to hear about your day.=]
Don't you know, I've wanted warm wool, knitted socks for the second winter, now - ever since I saw them in one of those British Magazines like Country Living, in fact. They can't seem to be bought for love or money, here, in the States. To top it all off, it's extremely cold, today, too (-23C.)! I need to renew my search with hope.;)
Well, wishing you many more afternoons like this...
