Today I Saw

I took part in Today I Saw postcard swap. I drew guardians of the garages that I spotted the other day while counting birds. Yesterday I sent my postcard to my swap partner in Scotland. I hope she likes it.

Karma for today: Try to work things out on your own.

Another package

You keep spoiling me, don't you? :)

On Wednesday I received a wonderful swap package from Emily. She is so thoughtful because she made me a pot holder and a pendant as well. I haven't been baking for quite a while but when I do, I struggle with some crocheted pot holders that have holes in them, so sometimes I burn myself not being careful enough. Now this won't happen again because I have received a pot holder without holes and it is also big enough for my hand. I love the pattern and the colors! (The photo doesn't show the real colors, in real they are more vibrant.)
When my no-chocolate diet will end after Easter (I admit, I did eat a few pieces of chocolate and drank a couple of hot chocolates, too), nothing will stop me from indulging myself with a cup of hot chocolate that I received in the package as well. Until then I will drink tea. :) Spring will be wonderful, I tell you!
Well, in the same package I also received three notebooks that I won by pure coincidence. I am lucky, don't you think?

Thank you so much, Emily for all the goodness I received.

What I don't like is the customs that opened the package and ripped that soft green paper in which these beautiful things were wrapped into...

Have a wonderful weekend! We will have some sunshine after all.

Post Valentine day thoughts

I took part in the postcard swap organized by Karen. I liked the idea and I was making different Valentine's cards during the previous week. I hope that all the recipients will get them sooner or later. I sent them by random - I put the names into a bowl and picked a number for each card I made. I hope that every of them will get into the right hands. I have received two until today. Perhaps some more are waiting for me in a mailbox today. It is so exciting to receive lots of mail and so many different thoughts.Some strange mushrooms grew next to my amarylis. Weird. I keep wondering what kind of soil I managed to buy because it is also full of small flies that annoy me while I read, eat or do anything else. I have no heart of killing them, I hardly kill a mosquito or any living creature. I removed the mushrooms anyway.
I am much better today and hopefully I will be able to go for a walk tomorrow. There was no Valentine's cake for me yesterday but I had a nice day anyway. My dad came to visit me and we talked about the old days. His health is worse every day but we all have big hopes that eventually his illness will slow down a bit soon. Time to remember. Special time. With a special person.
