Missed mid-week

I can't believe I've missed a mid-week post again! This is what happens when I get so distracted with catching up with things that it gets so late I fall asleep without blogging. 

This week has been a bit of a blur, and that's putting it mildly. DH left on Monday this week for an extra night away. DD started on her new skincare/makeup counter on Tuesday. I met some friends for lunch yesterday so finished work early. And today's been my long day at work, followed by fitting in some painting while waiting for both DD and DH to get home.

I've been spending a lot of time crafting this week, making sure I have enough variety for the two craft fairs I've got coming up over the next couple of weeks.  

I know I'm running out of time for getting Christmas  things made, daft as it sounds. But there's only so long you can carry on making Christmas things before it gets too late to get them posted out to people. Hopefully I'll get my Etsy shop updated soon - fingers crossed. 

I also checked in online for the flights for myself and DD when we go on holiday in just over a weeks time. I thought I'd better get it done and get the seats sorted for the flights. Cyprus here we come!! I think DD will be ready for this holiday after the last couple of weeks of training, travelling, and long days. 

Roll on 18th October! 

Walking and crafting

Another busy weekend comes to a close. Sunday night again, ready for a very busy week ahead. 

After calling in to my hairdressers on Friday to drop off some jewellery for them to sell, it was time for another Ladies Lunch - just three of us this time. It was a lovely lunch and good to catch up again. 

Yesterday we took advantage of yet another dry day and headed up to Grasmere to go walking, to do the walk I did on my own last year on Christmas Eve. It was a lovely day even though it was quite cloudy and misty for some of it. 

Heading out of Grasmere, off to Far Easedale, the sun came through and it was lovely and warm for a while. 

The walk itself is quite straightforward, but there's quite a bit of climbing. 

It's worth it though. Every climb is always worth it. That sense of achievement and the views - there's nothing like it.  

And although the views weren't as good as they could've been, it was still wonderful to see. 

And then backdown to Grasmere in time for this ...........

Fabulous! Makes the walk even better!

And today has mainly been a painting day for me. Painting hanging clay shapes. 

These are all extra bits for my next craft fair - an extra one I've booked at the last minute for this Saturday coming. Eek!! Wish me luck!
