LIFE RIGHT NOW // APRIL 2015

loving the afternoons spent in the park knitting / eating / drinking.

thinking that I haven't read a single book in April. need to change that in May, starting with Fangirl! 

eating all the fruits. Can't wait for peaches!

wondering what to do with the billion magazines I have (and love). too much stuff!!

listening to George Ezra's first album. Budapest and Listen to the man are my fave <3

enjoying the podcast. Episode 3 coming later this week, I'm waiting on a new webcam!

making use of my stash and feeling kind of proud about it ^^

struggling with cutting those gorgeous fabrics I've been buying.

feeling like cross stitching. 

dreaming of pretty embroideries like the ones Olivia has been creating <3

finding out that it's ok to speak your mind sometimes.   

celebrating the beginning of May. Lily of the valley season + my birthday obviously makes it the best month of the year!

watching Game of Thrones! #TeamDarkSansa

IN WHICH I SAY ADORABLE A LOT

Episode 02!!

Hoping you will like this one too, it's a bit longer and was slightly less weird to record so this might be the beginning of something fun :)

Flowers gathered by my nephew for: his mama, his grandma and his auntie. 

The simplest things are the most precious.

ME ON MONDAY

A weekend love list: Moroccan mint tea / socks / pastries / meeting other crazy knitters like me / chatting about yarn for 4 hours / a new episode of Outlander / more sock knitting / JAMMF / a finished project / chocolate / reading stories to my nephew / a comfy handmade sweater / watching Cinderella on TV / singing along.

And here we are now, on a cold but sunny Monday morning. Hiding under a plaid, watching Harry Potter and you guessed it, knitting some more socks! That's me, on Monday :)

Joining with the lovely Sian today.
