The things that rocked my socks this week.

the memories of childhood

looking forward to our future as grey nomads

the anticipation of a new book

comfort food on a dreary day

the lightness that comes with decluttering

sunlight on ferns

the best start to the week

I'm looking forward to a whole lotta lovin' this week!
Are you?

Five Fabulous Friday Finds from my Faves - yoga

How has your week been?

How do you like to start your week?

I start mine with a yoga class every Monday, and it's a great way for me to begin the week.

Sooooo, I thought I'd show you some yoga-ish finds.

You can never have too many yoga tops, and I love the sentiment on this one.
It looks super-comfy too.

Then, of course, you need something for the future cooler weather.

In fact I would probably wear this a lot - and not just for yoga.

Comfy pants are a must too.

There are lots of lovely ones in this shop, it was hard to chose.

What a fabulous yoga mat bag! So practical - it's worm like a backpack and has a spot to hold a drink bottle as well.

I already have a mat bag by Alipink, but this one is still on my list.

And I just could not resist this cute poster with salute to the sun on - I can never remember the order of it. This is just the job!

Do you do yoga?
Or any other regular exercise? Alone or with a friend or group?

Have a great weekend!

What I have been up to this week - blogtoberfest day 21

Another week has zoomed by!
And I got a bit of this'n that done!

How about you? did everything go according to plan?
Any surprises or excitement this week?

As I mentioned earlier my daughter and I have started a fitness pledge - an so far this week I have been for a 1 hour walk, a 2 hour bike ride, a 1 and 1/2 hour buswalk and today I did 45 minutes of yoga from this on-line site.

My 1 hour walk took me round Glenbrook Lagoon, which has lots of waterlilies and weed in it at the moment.

A part of the lagoon reserve has been recenlty burnt - what a shame.

And leaning over a fence from a house bordering the lagoon - a mulberry tree.

I've had quite a few earrings orders via madeit this week and I like to use stickers on my parcels, but I am running out of the ones I'd bought.
However I'd also bought some from thankyou tags from kokovanilla, but wanted them to be stickers.

But wait! I remembered a gadget I'g bought a while ago from a craft show - the Xyron create-a-sticker gizmo!

Then - voila!  I had cute little thankyou stickers.

One of my favorite local walks is along an old fire trail at Valley Heights -

It was a beautiful day and starting to warm up.
The best of the flowers had gone - but the ferns were unfurling -

and there was a whole bank of Flannel flowers at one spot.

I have even found time to make some things with my new beads ...and a few oldies thrown in -

I just love these acid green crackle beads.
First I combined them with vivid orange then something a bit more subtle - with cornflower blue agate and some stripey lampwork cubes.

Whic one do you like the best?
