Over On Nayu's Crochet Dreams #23...

She's so cute! One of many random pictures I find online. Love her odd socks which match what I wear ^o^

... check out what unusual gift I'm taking to my friend in Norfolk! I'm fairly sure she doesn't read my blog regularly - sorry if you've seen this though!

Nayu's News #230 Back on the road!

Off again...probably an accurate amount of luggage I'm taking with me!

Hi if you've been redirected from my craft blog Nayu's Crochet Dreams - I felt like having an update post with cute anime pictures sprinkled in, which isn't my main style on NCD. Thanks for coming over to check out where I'm heading next!

Some things are better said in person than on the phone. Sady no fire at my friend's house (or mine for that matter!)

This weekend I'm heading back to Devon! I hadn't planned to go see my friend again until late May, but she's going through some stuff and I promised to go down to keep her company as soon as I could. It will be a few days filled with dvds, hot chocolate, and lots of chatting. 

Always miss Belle heaps when I have to leave her.

My cat won't be happy that I'm away but her sulks are both legendary and hilarious, so I'll enjoy hearing how much of a mood she's in from my family. I can tell Spring is here because she's starting to stay out later at night, and not sleeping with me. Having her be by my side is a plus side to my least favourite season, Winter. 

Baking is fun!

This extra trip was only decided in the last few days, so I've had to reschedule what I'm doing before I go. Normally I like to pre-schedule a whole load of posts for you, but I need to make some fairy cakes before I go so need to rest as much as I can tomorrow and Friday. Baking takes it out of me which isn't ideal before a big tirp. I'll try and do my usual single picture posts to keep you occupied! As always I'll be available on Twitter as @Nayuleska so keep an eye out for updates there!

Thank you for whichever blog/(s) of mine you read - I hope you keep on enjoying yourselves! See you when I get back ^o^ 

Nayu's News #195 The weekend is here!

Relaxing is good!

It's exciting to reach the weekend, as these days I try and have Saturday as a non-blogging day. For some reason Saturdays have always felt like a non-work day to me. I know they are, but until I left my day job to pursue my craft and writing dreams I always had to do blog work on my days off which included Saturdays. So from now Saturdays are my designated grocery day, although the earlier I can get there the better. Even if I'm half asleep shopping at 8am on a Saturday is a peaceful affair as most sensible people are having a lie in. 

This week has been mixed, with a fair few days of feeling flakey. However, happy events have included: 

Family making yummy treats 

I've had the hard tasks of testing them out, to make sure they're edible.

Yarn for my next Nayu's Crochet Dreams baby blanket finally arriving!

Actually it's my yarn!

Ordering a small range of pattern books (some will be returned) - more on why I've done that in tomorrow's post. 

Not quite sending a letter, I just love this pic!

Arranging to have lunch with my previous day job's colleagues twice next week 

I'm super excited about catching up with them, like Alicia and Akira in the naime Aria the Natural

Watching lots of Aikatsu anime! 

Since I'm rewatching it I'm back when Ichigo, Ran (pictured) and Aoi are the central characters - sometimes I do crochet at the same time as watching :)

There's always an upside to life, one that I try to seek out as much as possible especially if I don't feel brilliant. I'll leave you with two sayings I came across today:
