The house is untidy
the yard is a mess,
the sheets need washing
the dress needs a press.
The dishes are piled
up high in the sink,
but right at this moment
I'm having a think!
♡
Featured: Orangette is enjoying a quiet moment
on a rag made from leftover bits and pieces.
Your stitching and stories are delightful, Amalia. Thanks for posting! xx
ReplyDeleteIt is well known I love a touch of orange, and Orangette certainly does it for me! Cute post, and sweet crotchet.
ReplyDeleteThe best and brightest cure for the grayness of winter :-)
DeleteSuper cute. Have a great day! We are having more sunny days here. xoxo
ReplyDeleteA joy to visit, you always make me smile with your sweet makes and rhyme.
ReplyDeleteLove the sweet poem, and you make such adorable toys.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Your eye for color is spot on and I love seeing your rhymes! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteOrangette and her darling garden accoutrements are a breath of fresh air~
ReplyDeleteYou're truly unique, darling Amalia, thank you for being so, so special !!!
ReplyDeleteHoping you're having a great week so far,
I'm sending hugs and more hugs to you
XO Dany
You do make the most darling toys... glad you've stopped for a think ... always a good use of time.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely day,
Brenda x0x
What can I say that hasn't been said? Adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the smile,
Vickie
You come up with the cutest, most unique little characters, and rhymes. Love your fun little arrangement with the wheelbarrow... perhaps Orangette is thinking on spring :) {smiles)
ReplyDeleteCreative you strikes again! I do love to read your poems and see your creations.
ReplyDeleteThis photo is perfect!
ReplyDeleteA scene of well-deserved rest ...
I love breads made from leftover wool.
Hugs
Orangette looks like she's enjoying her rest. The wheel-barrow is so pretty, and I think it means she will soon be back to trundling it about the garden.
ReplyDeleteLove all the color, with all the grey days we are having!
ReplyDeleteThe little wheelbarrow makes me think of my garden days quickly approaching!
So adorable! We all need "a think" and a moment to ourselves sometimes.
ReplyDelete~smile~
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I just want to shrink down in size and push that wheelbarrow around, then cuddle up with the bunny :)
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful, how you can make such a story and picture of just a small rag of leftovers!
ReplyDeleteBut I do love that cute rag AND the thougth behind your poem :-)
Have a nice day,
Sigrid
I love your poems and creations. Orangette and blankie are too cute. All good wishes to you for the new year. Happy February........
ReplyDeleteAdorable - as always, Amalia!
ReplyDeleteAmalia, Orangette and I have the same idea. Busy morning and now a rest. Lovely poem and creations, my friend. xo ♥
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with taking time for a think!!
ReplyDeleteOrangette has the right idea. I've been feeling a lot this way the past four weeks. I'm thinking "spring". :)
ReplyDeleteI love Orangette ...
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's just so good to stop a while and think!
Happy February
All the best Jan
I love it! Having a think is a good thing to do. The other stuff can wait!
ReplyDeleteLove her name and the pretty blanket and pillow she has to lay and rest and just think!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I sit down and zone out - but that doesn't sound near as amazing as it does in your poem! How cute - you have such an wonderful gift. Hope you have some lovely quiet moments this weekend Amalia!
ReplyDeleteI love all the objects on this picture! And you are right Amalia, why to do boring things today when you can do them tomorrow... thoughts are the most important and you may forget them by tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteLove everything you make and especially your poems.
ReplyDeleteyour pictures and words perk up my day Amalia. Thank you for the cheer.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your poems and sweetness!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful think my dear!
xx oo

I think I need to take a little advice from Orangette! She's got the right idea. And she's adorable. :)

ReplyDeleteMe again : I am putting this post on my DIL and her twin sisters' FB pages...the overworked young mother syndrome needs this :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Orangette! Dishes will wait, don't wait until you fall into bed tired at night to think you're going to think!
ReplyDeleteThis is darling, Amalia!
And there is always the chance that an elf will wander into the kitchen and do them :-)

A truly perfect poem! Have a Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteMay love and joy always be yours.
What a clever lady! I should follow her lead...
ReplyDeleteHer blanket and pillows are perfect for outside. Beautiful items that can endure rough treatments.
The blanket reminds me of those my grandmother used to make with old sheets. Sturdy and useful, with lots of colors. :-) I wish you a nice week!
I have a pile of old sheets waiting to become a rug. One day :-)
DeleteThat's pretty cute and so much more than a rag.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute!!.. I Love a little poem..
ReplyDeleteXOXO
So sweet!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Deb

This is all so fun, Amalia. Such happy colors. I'm always so envious of the way you put words together (I could sure relate to this poem...haha! ) and your sweet creations make me want to get my felt and fabric out and have some fun :) Thank you for coming by and saying hello. It always brightens my day! I thought I was following you but I checked and NO.. hmm.. But I am now. So I hope to catch all of your charming posts. Have a lovely weekend. XO Tamara
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful comment, Tamara, made my day.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, and I hope you're staying well and warm.

Your fine photo makes me smile. Thanks a lot. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute mix of colours, crafts and, as always, whimsical rhyme. Orange is a favourite colour of mine and the cheerful mix of colours in the little rug is a happy distraction amidst the stress of daily life. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo very cute!!! And I especially love the homemaking poem today :) Thank you for sharing with us on the Art of Home-Making Mondays at Strangers & Pilgrims on Earth! :)
ReplyDeleteI always have a nice smile when I visit your blog, pretty creations and creative words. Thanks for the Friday smile as my dishes are piled high as well Hugs XO - Wendi @H2OBungalow

ReplyDeleteSuch a creative, colourful post Ammalia. Loving Orangette :)
ReplyDeletePrecious! I'm a bit like Orangette most of the time :)
ReplyDeleteOrangette, rest your tete,
ReplyDeleteDon't rise and make haste!
House work on a nice day just seems such a waste.
If I had warm sunshine
and a nice crocheted rug,
I too would be resting with tea in my mug.
LOL! Best comment ever!!!
DeleteOrangette is so darling and I love the poem! How wonderful to rest on a handmade rug mat. :) Thanks for sharing with SYC.
