Arohanui: things that I'm loving on a week in April

April already. Is it too too trite to comment on the speed in which the year has passed? Yes? I thought as much.

Things I'm loving on this week:

New found enthusiasm for many things after a long weekend away: over Easter I was away from my home, my computer and my internet connection, and all of my creature comforts. By the third day I wanted to floss and Eat All the Vegetables and knit and to write and I had a million blogging ideas. New found enthusiasm is delicous.

My workroom/offfice/sewing room: in the new house, Shannon and I share a work room, meaning that he sits over on one side of the room and does his electronicky things, and I sit over here on my side and sew and sit on my computer. Working in companionable silence in the evening is great (better than television, she says smugly), and I love having a dedicated space to work on my things. I'm planning on getting a bigger desk in the future so that I can spread out a bit more, but things are working just fine at the moment.

My blogging whiteboard: I have the week of blogging worked out on my dedicated whiteboard/inspiration board. At present I am (apparently) inspired by macramé owls, kitchenalia fabric, knitted moustaches and 19th century paintings of sheep bleating over the bodies of their dead lambs.

 

Augustus Schenk, Anguish. I know that my love of this painting seems a little, ah, macabre. But I love it for the intense anthropomorphising of the ewe, and the ewe's ridiculously noble bearing. Noble ewe!

 

Working to find my money management mojo: It's been a struggle to find it again but I'm getting there. This week I still had money in my account at the end of the pay week, and I liked that feeling. I'm officially committing to this, because it makes me feel rich and effortlessly affluent. Furthermore, I am revising the Unicorn this weekend, which is basically a lie as it stands. Time to be truthful about your money again, Ginger. Money Truth is hard.

And more things to love in no particular order:
