A Break.....





My treat for the day.

It's dark and grey.....it's wet.....and it's miserable.

I have completed a mountain of chores (all of which won't be recognised or appreciated I might add), so my treat is an espresso, a couple of books and a few minutes with my ripple.

Then.....I'm ready to rock and roll again.....

  2. Sounds the perfect pick me up after a morning of chores, but I don't think I would have the self-discipline to get up and get on again after a short while with such temptations as books and crochet......and it is wet and dull......methinks I'd abandon all other chores for an afternoon of playing hooky with my hook!
    Have a good weekend Vanessa!

  4. Well great minds think alike...I'm reading this with yarn in my lap, hot cuppa at my side, having finished the last mountain of laundry from our holiday. Rainy days and crochet hooks are a perfect pair! Enjoy your quiet moments, Chrissie x

  5. Sometimes you just have to tell that mountain of chores that you will climb it later.

    Enjoy your relaxation.

  7. Sometimes you just need a little crafty break from the mountain of chores, and a bit of rippling is the perfect way to do it! I always love seeing what you are crocheting, Vanessa! I hope you have a lovely weekend and the sun comes out again......it is pouring with rain here too at the moment.

  9. You are so right - today was extremely miserable! It never really got light. I'm looking forward to a bit of hooking this evening, once I've closed the curtains and snuggled down on the sofa! Have a fab weekend. Jane x

  12. Wonderful. It is very well deserved. I always think I'll have a sit down for a moment when I've just done one more thing, and of course the moment never happens. Must try harder!

  17. I love that blue and white cup! I want a sip of whatever is in this charming piece. Don't you find that sweet breaks are so much more fulfilling when you're using a favorite things? My advice .... take lots and lots of breaks. Life is so short .... as you age you'll remember the pleasure of the breaks and another 20 minutes postponing the laundry or whatever won't matter to anyone. Susie
