Monday Mantra + journal work

Evening my dears,
It is indeed another Monday and with that comes the weekly mantra that I've printed and put into my journal to remind myself of something that I seem to overlook. Embrace it.

Since its rather late at night the ipad photos aren't that lovely, but I thought you'd enjoy them all the same, tonight's journal pages, slowly easing back into my art, again no pressure. I even drew a face today, imagine that hehe.
tomorrow I hope to get a few moments to myself to catch up on the course that I do really adore but talked myself into failing miserably. So I shall pick myself up and try again.

another thing I'm doing whist finishing my tea, is cutting some of my favourite instagram photos out for my journal, give it that personal feel, and another way to document life at the moment.

have a lovely evening...
I shall see you tomorrow
xx Courtney

Monday at a glimpse

My day starts like every second day, I say second because every other day I have a sleep in, and man do I love my sleep ins! As I was saying, my day starts with these brown eyes, he wakes up and calls me straight away 'mummmmyyy com' ere' and so it begins, the abc channel goes on, tea is made, toast is cooked and we enjoy the morning on the couch till its time for outside play and lily's morning bottle.

 by about 11:30 eli is in bed, having his morning sleep, the only one he has during the day, and sometimes if I'm really lucky, lily will have a sleep at the same time, so its quiet bliss, and work begins. I check emails and right reminds down in my planner, customer details, orders and reciepts my little student diary was a perfect purchase and at $1.99 its served me well.

the little ones had an extra long sleep this morning, so I scurried down the hall into my little room and did a little spinning, sice I have two shipments of my fiber club from 

Ewe Give me the Knits 
and I hadnt really touched it! much to my shame, I havent spun merino before so this was a learning curve, but hey you learn things everyday, and practice practice practice.

By late afternoon I knew I had a few things to start, there are a few gifts I needed to start knitting, Sophie and Mandy both have a small list of things that I want to make for them, so I broke out the beautiful soft bamboo cotton and the needles and started on their gifts.

Its now late, late afternoon, and I've sat on the bed to try and knit a bit, when Im faced with the fact that my flowers need changing hehe, new roses tomorrow for a new day, but they will only be replaced after my sleep in hehe.

Enjoy your evenings, my dears...

tea, yarn and new roses
