Little pleasures


I’m trying to enjoy the little things in life, focusing on the positive aspects of each day and it’s amazing what you notice that might otherwise go unnoticed. Here are a few of my little pleasures over the past couple of weeks. 

πŸ’— A clump of snowdrops in the garden πŸ’—



πŸ’— Discovering a new yarn dyer πŸ’—



πŸ’— Finishing a pair of stripy socks πŸ’— 



πŸ’— Enjoying Flo's company πŸ’—



πŸ’— A vase of sunshine in my kitchenπŸ’—



πŸ’— Finding my missing socks πŸ’—



πŸ’— Planning a new sewing project for the summer πŸ’—



πŸ’— Sewing another card wallet for my friend's 30th birthday πŸ’—



πŸ’— Catching up with Snoopydog and coming home with a pile of gifts πŸ’—



πŸ’— Winding some gorgeous yarn ready for casting on at the knitting retreat next week πŸ’—



Yes, I'm going on a knitting retreat tomorrow until Thursday. It's been organised by Julie at Suffolk Socks and it sounds like it's going to be a wonderful, woolly few days. I've been looking forward to it since I managed to get cancellation last month and hope that it will be the perfect tonic to spend a few days with like-minded people. I will of course try to take lots of photos and tell you all about it when I get home! Hope you have had some little pleasures to enjoy recently too. xxx

I love this post, Helen! So many simple pleasures. They are what get us through. Going to cast on a pair of socks from one of your patterns soon, I need some travel knitting for when I visit my daughter and new grandson. I just have to decide on which one! Have FUN at your retreat!

What a great post; so many lovely pleasures. I love the card wallet you made for your friend's birthday - is that Flo on the fabric?! Have fun at your knitting retreat, I look forward to hearing all about it. xx

A knitting retreat, sounds like a more intense version of your home life as posted, without Flo but with lovely people. Have a great time and come back with lots to show and tell.
