What a precious Sunday I've just had.
Church this morning as always, a real joy.
Then home for dinner (the steak was yum)
After that we took a drive out to Dromoland Castle for a walk by the river
& a wee stroll around the lovely walled gardens
The flowers were so pretty & so welcome after all the rainy grey weather we've had recently
Just lovely
Then off home for some of this
And this
And a new cushion to boot
Have been blessed today, am feeling very satisfied right now.
My crochet granny is growing as is my waist, what with steak, cupcakes from yesterday
& the dessert I had at dromoland (didn't take a snap of that don't want you all thinking I'm a total glutton)
I'm pretty ready for a lot of activity this week.
I've had such a nice weekend & I feel so refreshed & thankful
Well I look forward to getting back here again during the week & catching up with all your beautiful blogs
Lots of love Karen xxxxxx
What an inspiring, happy post. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHello Karen. SO pleased to hear that you had a lovely day. The thing that really caught my eye in your post today - your lovely cup and saucer set!! They are so pretty. Lorraine xx
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fab day. I had a good one too. We had an Indian Missionary preach in Church who really inspired me and God spoke massively. Got new school shoes for Lily and then it was off to KFC for lunch. Fab! xx
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great day! I had a lovely day too. We had an Indian Missionary preach at Church today which was so inspiring and God spoke in big ways. Then it was off to get new school shoes for Lily followed by KFC lunch. Fab! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, What a lovely Sunday! Delicious food and time outside is the perfect way to recharge your batteries for the week! I am fighting off round 2 of a cold/flu that has been circulating at work. Achooo!! xoxo Debbie
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely outing with your family! I wish I had a castle near by that I could drop by! Don't beat yourself up about the "gluttony" as you put it. Life is short. enjoy every morsel! (By the way - I see the granny blanket grows steadily....keep going... I can't wait for the big TA-DA!)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely weekend Karen, it must have been good to get out in the fresh air! Love the crochet, the cushion is looking fab! Have a great week, Jenny x

ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI am catching up after having had a super busy weekend!!! I missed your oreo cookies cuppies. Wow!!! Sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday!! I am noticing that even though we live in different countries, far away from each other, we share so many similarities! I love Yankee Candles...Oreo cookies, crochet, and Country Living magazine!!!
XO Kris

Hi Karen
ReplyDeleteI am so surprised I have not come across you before, you are a woman after my heart with all those yummy treats, those oreo cookie cupcakes, but your quilts and crochet are just amazing, I sat with a you tube tutorial the other night trying to teach myself how to crochet and then I see all your beautiful creations, someday maybe!!!
Best wishes
Denise
