hello March. I am liking you already, you are bright and sunny, although freezing and windy..... I am so looking forward to "pancakes AGAIN day" and "ponder the universe day" I think that everyday should be "be at one with chocolate day" however, which probably goes well with "don't take no for an answer day"
I shall not however be having any more clean outs, or de-cluttering, I cleared out my clothes recently and am already regretting the de-cluttering of a linen skirt......... also if I cleared out my study I may not have had to hand purple sequins, really strong thread to mend a watch, and eyelets to mend the 2 day old pair of sneakers that the teenage boy attempted to destroy.............
March also contains Comic Relief, the excuse to do something silly for charity. Emma of Silverpebble has been a true superhero by editing a truly fantastic magazine called the Big Comic Relief Crafternoon - (search for their facebook page) with loads of amazing delights raising money for some incredible causes. Go get one from Sainsbury's if you're in the UK, download it on googleplay or itunes (search for crafternoon) if you're not, and make yourself a guinea pig or a flock of birdies because everyone needs one, even my cats.
The Mystery Inc. Gang LOVE their little felt creatures! (I want to see proof of the experimental cooking.)
ReplyDeleteI can definitely get on board with being at one with chocolate. I never throw out linen, although I do chop it up into things. There's always a danger with decluttering that you will get rid of something you suddenly want back one day. I hope you have a really lovely March Tess. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteLol love the cat picture. I often regret chucking out stuff later to realise I should have kept but I relly love getting rid of the old to make way for the new xxxx
ReplyDeleteThat may be the first blue guinea pig I've seen ... and I love it!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to stop being at one with chocolate ... sad but true.
I love the little birds!! How cute are they!! xx
ReplyDeleteAw, kitties with birdies! So cute. J x
ReplyDeleteYour cat is looking very spoiled with all that small creature felty goodness! And being springy might just have become my March resolution.
ReplyDeleteahh lovely birdies, and lovely words about March - they have made me feel very cheery about the month ahead!
ReplyDeleteChocolate and I are on first name terms - sad but true! Just this very evening we have been imbibing a chocolate fondue - the less said the better......
ReplyDeletechocolate fondue. oh yum x
DeleteLove the birdies and kitty pictures. March sounds like it's going to be fun! x
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate - if it's in the house I have to eat it.
ReplyDeleteI know February is a short month, but boy did that March calendar seem to come round quickly there. I will hunt down a copy of that magazine in Sainsburys, those birds and the guinnea pig look very cute. But I have decided that there's been far too much being as one with chocolate recently and it's not helpful! It needs to be a eat more veggies, do a bit more exercise and stop feeling sluggish month instead! I feel for you with the linen skirt :(
ReplyDeleteWhat cute crafts...
ReplyDeleteI want to know more about "Ponder the Universe" day! Please?
I think that it deserves a post of it's own. more to follow!
DeleteAh March. I love seeing your calendars -- thanks for sharing them. I could definitely get onboard with "be at one with chocolate day" -- sounds wonderful! And I seriously need to declutter the sewing room -- but like you say ... you just never know when you might need a whatsit!
ReplyDeleteThat guinea pig is psychedelic! I love him. I know what you mean about the clear-out and regretting a cast-off item. That happened to me recently too. Luckily my husband had not yet taken the pile of clothing to the charity and I was able to rescue my sweater from the pile...in the garage...where it had picked up some sawdust. :)
ReplyDeleteI love a good clear put but have accasionally gone to look for something months later, only to remember that I donated it to the charity shop. I also saw a woman walking down the street in our local small town wearing a (very distinctive) blouse that I had donated, quite an odd feeling, especially as she was quite a different size and shape from me..... X
ReplyDeleteI gave away a skirt once, and then instantly regretted it. Like the second it was out of my hands. To this day I don't know what came over me.
ReplyDeleteThe guinea pig rocks by the way.
Leanne xx
glad it's not just me then.......
DeleteYay! It's March. xXx
ReplyDeleteI love March ...... the Spring flowers coming through.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Comic Relief Day too ........
I enjoy March because we alter the clocks .. soon ..
Hope March is good for you
All the best Jan

Love your guinea pig so you are sorted for experimental cooking nights (though it is slightly alarming that guinea pigs are needed for them - hopefully not as part of the menu!). March is definitely a good month and it's so good to feel the days getting longer again. Clear-outs and de-cluttering are highly over-rated in my opinion (at least that's my excuse for the mess around here) xxx
ReplyDeleteMarch has been mighty fine here too... And we have snowdrops coming into bloom--earliest ever here! Pancakes AGAIN Day--yes, bring it on! ;o) Such lovely colors of felt... and sweets made from them... And looks like the felt and felties receive the much-required kitty-cat seal of approval... So sweet!! ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteJust reading through some of the comments and saw mine came through twice ....... oops.
ReplyDeleteOh well this makes three, or it should - LOL
Have a great weekend - they say it's going to be a warm and dry Saturday in my part of the UK, so I'm planning a nice walk out and about.
Happy Weekend
All the best Jan
oh yes, your comment did come through twice, double the March love! we had a lovely weekend thank you, but warm and dry it was not, cold and wildly windy would be more accurate..... hope your's was nice.
DeleteOoh, I love that guinea pig! Hope your cat is happy :)
ReplyDeleteLove your little menagerie, very sweet! I agree the comic relief crafternoon magazine is a triumph!
