on the go…

Good morning !

How are you feeling today? Are you still in “Holidays-mode” or did you get back to your everyday’s “routine”? I’m trying to get back to the routine-mode but it is quite hard…the girls are still at home and there is still mess everywhere and new toys in every room and this is getting me crazy…

I saw, once, a very cute quote: “Please excuse the mess, the children are making memories” This quote makes me smile and everytime I get mad about the mess around here I try to remember the quote 🙂

So, this is how we are spending our days, girls playing with their new toys while mummy  try to concentrate on hers …

…starting three new projects…

…One with her best friend her acrylic nako yarn…

… one with her cotton stash…

 

 

…and the last one with a brush and some colors…

It is always so exciting to start new projects…but to finish them is another story 😉

Will tell you more about each project later …Have to go now…There is some shouting coming from the playing room 🙂 the girls are surely making memories 🙂

Have a wonderful end of week!

    Hello! I know EXACTLY what you mean. I have to detangle my wool constantly from a mass of toy cars, transformers and the odd cardboard box or tube!!!! Little hands make their memories and I make mine….. xxx p.s. such beautiful colours in your stash

    Ha-ha! This is such a sweet post. No matter how much I clean up around here, it’s always mess. One thing I accomplished last week was making over the kids room. One more bookshelf to buy at Ikea today and then it will be all organized. Yea! Your home is so lovely and inviting. I could cozy right up there on the couch with you and crochet the day away. Enjoy the weekend. We are back to school and regular days on Sunday. :/ I do so enjoy being at home. Best wishes, Tammy

    Hi, I can so follow what you mean, have two adolescents in the house this week…. and hmmm let’s say, getting alorg is not always easy ;-)) perhaps I should also remember your saying about making memories… not bad… although I prefer good to bad memories ;-)) Have a nice weekend. Jewel

    What a lovely post Angie.. I used to tell myself that quote too…and now my children are all in their twenties (and still all at home), I still say it.. sometimes through gritted teeth 🙂 That cotton project is looking beautiful and your painting is amazing… I would love to see that design printed on fabric! Ooo Le Monde De Sucrette Fabrics! :)x

    The quote is a very good one, I will try to remeber the same. Though it is sooo true! Happy times.
    Your work looks Ok, feet up, Tv On, crochet on hand jajaja…
    Happy new year!

    I remember those days. My kids are now 20 and 15 so the toy messes are somewhat less. As hard as it seems at times, the years pass by so quickly so let the memories make. Can’t wait to see your projects. Always inspiring me with your colors.

    I read one time that if your workspace was neat and tidy you were a crafter, if it was messy and upset you were an artist. I was so happy to realize I was an artist. LOL I tell all my friends they can come see me anytime but if they want to see the house clean, make an appointment. I’m 76 and still trying to learn to crochet and your website makes me smile when I see what you do with bright colors.

    What a lovely colorful home. Such inspiring details.

    Fab photos as always, and I have to say that I am totally borrowing that quote! I might have to make a big something with it printed in very large letters so that when my husband comes in and complains I can point it out to him (by which I mean “hit him over the head with it”).
