It was just Miss M and me this weekend as G had gone down to Ambleside with his mountain biking buddies for a weekend of mud and rocks. I really hope that he had better weather than we had...the west of Scotland has been incredibly damp, grey and chilly since Thursday. I also really hope that he has visited here and purchased a bath bun for me! He is due back later this evening so we shall see...
Anyway, we have spent much of today keeping cosy inside...
Enjoying French toast with blueberries and maple syrup for breakfast...
We did manage to go out for a walk this morning in between rain showers and it was nice to get some fresh air. Miss M is always very happy to have the chance to wear her horse wellies and splash in some puddles...
We bought some nice, bright flowers for my gran and took them along when we visited her this afternoon...
Miss M chose this lovely, soft yarn during the week for me to make her a cosy hat and scarf. She will wear them on the walk to and from school each day and the blue yarn will look nice with her school coat. I made a start on the scarf today...
It is just a very simple garter stitch scarf, knitted on fairly big needles for quick results...
I have had the living room candles lit since late afternoon. I love how candles make a room seem so cosy and the whole house smells of vanilla now...
I really love looking through my favourite books with a cup of tea after dinner. I have been enjoying browsing some of my craft books this evening whilst Miss M has watched some television...
It has been a nice, relaxing Sunday, just what I need as I am back at work tomorrow. Now Miss M and I are planning a quick game of junior scrabble before it is bedtime for her and crochet time for me. I am completely loving working on my granny square scarf, the squares are nice and simple and perfect to make in the evenings...

Sounds like a wonderful day, hope you had a good visit with your Gran and you're now crocheting away :) xx
ReplyDeleteWe started our day with French toast too, perfect for a rainy autumn Sunday, isn't it? I love the Big Softie range, Miss M will be soooo cozy this winter! Promise you'll show the colours for the granny scarf soon! Enjoy your evening, candles, tea and books are a winning formula, Cx
ReplyDeleteWE have had very soggy and chillingly damp weather too. Love those wellies! Juliex
ReplyDeleteI know what activities I'd prefer, and it's not mountain biking!! Miss M has chosen a lovely colour for her scarf and hat. I started my day with tea and a browse through books - perfect start to a Sunday, could have done with the french toast and blueberries but had to make do with a croissant!! XX
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice post. I love spending time at home with my kids. The flowers for your gran are so pretty, she must have really appreciated your visit and such a lovely gift from you. I love Miss M's wellies, splashing must be even better in pretty boots. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely Sunday all the way through! xx
ReplyDeleteI just love a day like that, it unfolds in it's own time, slow and beautiful. Enjoy your tea, books and crochet time.

Hi Marianne what a lovely day - it is so nice to have a relax with the little ones. I love Big Softie yarn as it is so easy to work with and quick as well - the colour you have both chosen is beautiful. Hope you are enjoying your crochet work tonight - I am catching up with wip before work tomorrow too. I always look forward to reading your blog Marianne, thank you so much.

Looks like you had a lovely day. Enjoy your evening x
ReplyDeleteHi Marianne, what a lovely way to spend a Sunday, big softie wool is great to knit with and the roses for your gran are gorgeous :-)x
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely post to devour Marianne, thank you, I enjoyed every bit of it - from the French toast and beautiful blueberries to the smashing wellies and fantastic pink roses; from the lovely yarn and scarf on the needles to the must have craft books. I hope you have enjoyed your evening of crochet, candles and tea - and I do hope that G brought you the bath bun you were looking forward to!
ReplyDeleteLovely happy week to you sweetie!
Warm hugs, Joy xo
Looks like a lovely cosy Sunday and I love your daughters horse wellies! Julie x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day you had. Love miss M's choice of yarn! X
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post Marianne and I do hope you got your bun?? The scarf your making for miss M is so lovely, love the colour!! Also your crochet scarf is gorgeous. It sounded like the perfect Sunday. Hope you have a good day at work lovely Marianne xoxoxo

I feel totally relaxed after reading your post! Jo x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely relaxing Sunday! Love the new scarf, it will be so cosy! I hope it wasn't too wet in Ambleside for your hb, and I hope he remembered your bath bun! Enjoy your week.

Another lovely post. I so enjoy visiting you. looks like you had a lovely Sunday. Sounds ideal. Your new wool looks fab what a great colour xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to spend Sunday. Love the willies and the new scarf.:)
ReplyDeleteMmm, the french toast looks good - it's one of the few things my daughter can make! I love Miss M's wellies too - I want some! x
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a relaxing Sunday, although the weather around here has been terrible. I heard there was some really bad flooding down in Ayrshire recently too! I love that yarn, and it will feel super soft to wear and no doubt will look great too :) And I too think candles give such a cosy feeling to a room, especially on damp chilly nights!
ReplyDeleteI like the chunky yarn and it's a lovely colour too. Garter stitch might be simple but don't underrate it, I think it's got a really nice look to it :-) Chunky yarn is great though isn't it, it's just so much faster to make things :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of your Sunday. It must be nice to have some one on one time with your girl. The weather has been horrible here, too. xx
