A Great Sunday
A Great Sunday
I had a great Sunday! Usually, I hate Sundays because I spend all day thinking about all the jobs I have to get done for Monday. Yesterday however, I didn't.
Here are 4 reasons why I had a great Sunday!
1. YARN HAUL
I woke up, and Katie took me to Black Sheep Wools in Culcheth, Warrington. http://www.blacksheepwools.com/
Immediately, this was going to be a great day!
I wanted to pick up the wool for the stylecraft ripple blanket. I bought 12 colours (forgot to pick up a green) as I already had the grey. I also bought 8 balls of cream wool so that I could start edging the squares on my 'TV blanket'.
I love it here. I love to go to my local wool shop the majority of times I need craft materials as I like to show loyalty, but sometimes it's a nice treat to go to Black Sheep Wools as there is so much choice!
2. La La Land
I went to see La La Land in the cinema with my mother and sister-in-law. Oh wow, this film. It's a musical but it's fresh and innovative with influences from classic musical theatre. The soundtrack to this film is incredible and beautiful and soothing and clever and just wow. I love Emma Stone, so that was great. I can't really find the right words to explain how this film made me feel. I thought it was good whilst I was watching it... but in the 24 hours since seeing it, it has grown and grown in my mind. I need to go and see it again!
The love story is so real. The ending is not what I expected but it's the truth, and I respect that... even though I left the cinema devastated.
There's so many special moments in this film. It's so cheesy but I know already that it's going to be one of my favourite films.
3. Finished the Baby Blanket
I finished the baby blanket, and it turned out lovely. I made this in less than a week so I'm actually quite proud of myself. I can't explain how easy this pattern is, and it works up really quickly.
The Cosy Stripes pattern by Attic 24 works into a neat 'lacy' classic looking blanket.
I'm also super happy to finish this blanket because now I can get on with part 2 of the Moorland CAL. I can't wait to see the colours develop and start using more of the purple shades.
4. Organised and Prepared!
Although this is mundane and boring... I feel so much better about things when I'm organised and ready. I had a shower and washed my hair, painted my nails, and put on clean Pajamas. Then I lit candles and put music on and started dinner whilst drinking gin and pink lemonade. :) Mmmm.
I made lunch and breakfast for Monday and did the washing up. It took no time at all and I didn't spend any time worrying about all the things to remember in the morning.
This was a bit of a scrappy and poorly written blog post,
but I wanted to document what a nice day I had.
Have a nice week!
Love Charlie, Xxx
