Joy Pockets and Twinkling

a glimpse of my desktop

Joy Pockets with Monica :).
Hope you join in, they are a wonderful way to celebrate the end of a week...

A good week, a busy week. Too many words on my brain though and not enough uninterrupted time to punch them out on the keys. I am looking forward to the weekend actually, looking forward to finding time to let insight pour out of my heart and head and onto the screen to breathe. I hope to share them with you next week :). Meanwhile, the joy...

  1. what a cute owl!

    i hope you get some time. i'm wondering if i will as well. after a great start i have done no writing. just impossible. the one me time it was late in the day, too wiped to even contemplate anything other than crochet and a movie.

    words need to breeeeeathe...
    more importantly, ideas do. i have managed little snippets of daydreaming whenever possible.

    thanks for the shoutouts.

    amy makes such lovely things, i'm sure you'll find something just right.

  5. i love your bags!!! i have a bag ‘problem’ for sure! i hope you find your time and inspiration right along with it. on another note, the cobra weave is tricky, is it not? it ended in lewis throwing the bag of sticks and me deciding that we might be ‘slow’ in certain arenas. it did not help that the tutorial was done by a five year old! :)

    have a lovely weekend!

  10. Beautiful inspiring stuff as usual. And a little fyi to you:
    With less time to blog this month I am keeping my post short and plugging other blogs that have inspired me. Wander Wonder Discover is next! I really enjoy what you have to say, and the photographs you take.
    Cheers,
    Leah

  17. MJ -- about GDS and kids -- I would have you or your daughter do alot of research before acquiring one. They are fantastic dogs -- but buy from a reputable breeder (not a pet store) and a young puppy, 8 - 12 weeks old would be preferable.

    If no one is available for training or staying with the dog on a 24/7 basis, I would not recommend having one as a pet. They are smart, loyal, but need human contact on a regular basis. Our two have had me at home with them since they were puppies, and they are the best dogs ever. I would have no problem with them around children. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me.

  20. Lovely moments MJ. Can't have too many girl pirates I say. I love the owl on your christmas tree. We got a real tree this year for the first time and I am loving the pine tree smell wafting through the house. Jacinta x
