Saturday - Homey Day

Saturday was quite dull and dreary. The forecast had said it was going to rain all day, so I turned off my alarm, not planning a morning walk. Of course, I didn't wake up a lot later than normal and when I did, there was no rain in sight, though it was awfully dark outside. 

There were showers on and off, a lot less than forecast though. I didn't go for a walk. I didn't feel like it and the light wasn't really the sort I wanted to take photos in. I'm still sorting through some I've taken so I have a lot to keep me busy. 

I decided - after going to the Post Office to drop off a couple of packages - to have a day inside and do some 'me' things. It turned out to be a nice day filled with a bit of crafting (and not stressing about the mess in the craft room!) a bit of reading, a bit of cross stitching (yes, I actually did some!) and even a little Lego set put together. 



I hang onto things far too long. I love this planner/diary and buy one each year. The drawings are so beautiful I have trouble just throwing them away so I'm trying to use a few. 















I used some of the papers for this little waterfall journal that will go inside a larger 'junk' journal. 









Also made this little mini notebook. I've only just learned the 3-hole pamphlet stitch to put these together. 






The Lego I put together. You turn the key at the front and the princess twirls. It was fun but fiddly!




Book I'm reading. I got this on an England trip. I've read a couple of the other books on my Kindle, so it's time to read this one and then let it go!

How was your weekend?

  1. I love Marjolein Bastin's cross-stitch charts - just gorgeous.
    I like the Disney Lego - great fun, but I don't know if I'd have the patience to make it.

  3. Thank you! It was a different kind of day, but I really need to break from the routine and not feel 'off' because I deviate
