Wednesday Wind up.... with a difference

-
The bank holiday is behind us, and we are fast approaching the next break from school. I'm not doing a proper Wind Up because not a lot has happened since last week, but I wanted to share with you something that the Princess made me make.
My daughter takes after me (a lot) and when we browsed Pinterest and really enjoyed some of the summer activity lists we saw, She went off to her bedroom and brought me one she had written. My daughter has dyslexic tendancies and spelling is a big issue for her, so any writing she does is special. I love it, but She wanted it to be smart and readable and to be Pretty (because what is life for, if not to be Pretty?)
So I tweaked it, and fluffed it, and here it is. A beautiful PDF that you can use as well.

    Huge thanks to you and the Princess. I'm going to show this to S when she comes home from school today.
    It's going to be an interesting summer at your house!

      And if She plans it, you know it will happen. Or else.

    I LOVE that, in fact I've got a good mind to print it off and tick off as many as I can myself. Who doesn't love ice cream floats or building sandcastles. Not sure about washing the car though, if the Princess really wants to do that there's one here which could do with a scrub. I'd love to learn some bird calls or create a new sandwich recipe.

      I can do a hooting owl. It took me about 2 hours of experimenting. And I have printed off the list just for me and put it in my planner.
      As for washing the car, drop me the address and we'll be over. we wash cars for cake and a pot of good Yorkshire tea!

    What a great list, I'm pretty sure it's a good list for grown ups too! :)

      That depends on your definition of grown up. I aim never to quite hit the heights of proper grown uppedness.

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be...

"small elements of my home that I do not detest and that I have photographed so as to eliminate all traces of dirt and detritus". I love reading all the blogs on my list. I love reading all the house books that I can lay my hands on, ripping them to pieces and sticking them into my inspiration books. I won't get into how much more time I have to actually do things around my house if I don't go on t'internet and how much more money I would have available if I didn't have this programmed need to buy buy buy ..... I admire the true homemakers, I really do. I have a hankering to have a successful business, clean house and a family who can find matching socks without looking in three different places and finally finding the match half way behind the sofa cushion where it's been for three weeks so that I have to wash it before they can wear it and they either have to wear it wet, in which case I worry about pneumonia, or start again on the quest for a pair with ...
