Dawn

One of the things I like about this time of year is that you don’t have to get up at the crack of dawn to get up at the crack of dawn, if you get my meaning.

Sunrise at this time of year is at a civilised hour and there’s no nicer way to start the day than with a cup of tea in bed watching a glorious sky. It sets you up nicely for the day – especially when you’ve been up for 4 hours in the night because a certain young man finds sleep a challenging concept these days!

a splash of colour

I’m a little late in joining Silverpebble’s splash of colour but I’m missing the rich colours that we had in autumn and the sparkle of Christmas time so a little splash of colour is a very welcome thing.

My little splash is a colourful jar of new micro buttons ready for sewing onto bunny clothes (just need to make the bunnies now!). There’s lots of lovely bright and cheerful images over on the flickr group.

belated happy new year!

Thanks for all of the good wishes over Christmas. Toby did find it very hard this year but there were some fun times with family and friends. We’re slowly clicking back into our familiar and comforting term-time routines here and there is at last a little knitting time creeping back into my days. While I continue to settle back into day to day stuff I thought I’d leave you with some of the things that made me smile in 2010.

What were your happiest parts of last year and do you have any resolutions or hopes for this one? My only resolution for 2011 is to step into each day and look for the best in it, to let the past go and not to worry about the future. Anyway, whatever your hopes and dreams for this year, I wish you a happy and healthy year.
