The perfect Sunday morning. What would yours be like?
Mine would look exactly like the top picture and I was lucky enough for that to be part of my Sunday yesterday.
My idea of the perfect Sunday is
:: waking up when you've had enough sleep, rather than to the sound of an alarm clock;
:: padding downstairs in cosy socks and PJs to pop the kettle on;
:: taking a tray laden with brewing breakfast tea and a warm cinnamon bun back to a still-warm bed;
:: reading and knitting the morning away in bed with chill radio playing until everyone else is up and wanting some lunch;
:: pottering in the garden after lunch, tidying up the vegetable beds and enjoying the golden light from the setting sun blushing the spring blossoms on the tree;
:: making a roast dinner for family and curling up together for wine and cuddles by the fire afterwards.
It's not often that everything is in alignment for a perfect Sunday, but I'm hoping for a re-run next weekend :)
My knitting projects above are:
'Out of winter shawl' by Tamy Gore, knitted in simply stunning 'Owl Feather' Grenouille sock yarn
A pair of simple ribbed wintery wristwarmers that I've improvised in order to let this beautiful hand-dyed neppy yarn take centre stage. The the rich earthy tones and light neps of the yarn remind me of a ploughed field in winter, so ribbing seemed appropriate. The yarn is 'Need for tweed' BFL/Donegal nep from Ocean By The Sea (the making notes on the wristwarmers are on my ravelry project page)
Reading: The Peregrine by J. A. Baker - beautiful written, evocative prose for quiet Sunday morning
