I'm Loving Monday 'Cos....

hi!




....the new blade on my rotary cutter is gliding through the fabric as though it were butter

...i'm hearing the hum of my sewing machine again

...i'm looking at the bountiful boughs of jacaranda blooms outside the window



...twentysomething mr p did the vacuuming voluntarily this morning with not even
a whisper from me!

...the breeze is cool and the smell of rain is fresh and invigorating

...the dogs are settled, the humans too, it's a peaceful monday.





some days it just feels good to be alive!


naturally Carol xox


p.s...my thoughts go out to our aussie soldiers and their families today....

    What a great start to the day Carol :) Was looking good at my place this morning until a temporarily-in-disgrace Labrador found her way into the kitchen rubbish tidy....

    Oh Carol, how I miss my Sydney jacaranda! It's too cool down here, I think - I must investigate if we can grow one at PB HQ ☺. J x

    Oh I love that little fabric heart Carol, it's gorgeous. It looks sweet smelling too, like it might be filled with some kind of pot pourri, or maybe I'm just hoping it is ;o)
    The jacaranda is also very beautiful, I'm a big fan of those trees and the purple carpet of petals they create xo

    Yes it is that wonderful time of year again. Our home in SA is now sold and new owner will move in
