Winter Wonderland

A happy hour spent on the sofa

in this cosy winter-ish weather

(although technically it's summer)

no builders here today

Bing Crosby walking in a winter wonderland

Christmas tree lights

A new crochet project

in colours inspired by this book I bought yesterday:

Lovely.

But keeping it real ....

in case you think it's all rosy and perfect here ...

the other half of the sofa I'm sitting on looks like this:

and behind our Christmas tree looks like this:

because we need to be ready for dust at a moment's notice

... and the other half of the living room looks like this

where my craft and broom cupboard was ripped out 

and where stairs should go in, next week,

and the bedroom looks like this

where the carpenters unexpectedly ripped open the wall and popped in a pole.

So, I'm just enjoying sweet moments as they come.
