I ummed and ahhed for some time about getting a 'nice' picture of me. Each one was wrong. My hair wasn't right, I wasn't smiling, the sun was in my eyes etc.
I clicked over to Sian's post and the words that jumped out at me were 'keeping it real'.
This isn't supposed to be a perfect shot. This is me, in my comfy dress, doing Monday.
After a busy weekend (that I will blog about later) my Monday has been calm. It's been a blog reading, quilt sewing, tea drinking, girly chatting kind of day. Thrown into that have been some lovely sunny spells, some project lifing outside and a lot of Harry Potter listening.
A quiet, gentle, slow kind of day. Just what was needed.
What has your Monday looked like?
It's a lovely picture, and it sounds like a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see you! A comfy dress for Monday sounds absolutely right to me. You look perfect. Mmm...sewing...
ReplyDeleteComfy dresses get my vote! The Boy Child is waiting to receive a parcel from his almost grown-up cousin ~ the works of Harry Potter on audio CD ~ summer listening!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture Abi..glad you've had a good day!

A lovely pic,Abi.....I'm hoping to do some sewing tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect way to start the week!
ReplyDeleteWell I think you lovely, as ever. Comfy dresses are good and sewing even better. Of course, you now have me wondering whether that is part of a quilt for yourself, or your friend, or perhaps for one of the Friendship Quilt participants?
ReplyDelete*look*
ReplyDeleteAnother one thinking you look lovely and your day equally so.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely picture, I dare say you don't take a bad one, ever! And girly chatting does make for the best kinds of days.
