VÅRSALG - SPRING SALE - A GOOD EXCUSE ?

Sitter her og skriver og lese. Har vært flink og tatt en tur i det fine været I dag.  Å skrive på pc har sine fordeler og ulemper. Det er så fristende og bare å surfe litt. Litt blogger , kjøpe ett mønster eller tre, ett sticheri abonnement og smykker! Datteren min, DD2, har en nettbutikk hvor hovedsalget er yoga-artikler og te, men også smykker fra bl.a. FiFi. Dere som var på årsmøte så en god del av dem da.     Hun ringte og sa at nå var det vårsalg med 40 % avslag. Jeg logget meg på Fløyelstre butikken, og det ble 1 smykke, 1 armbånd og 2 pakker te.
Jeg lurer på hva jeg skal handle neste fredag som en belønning  når den skriftlige eksamen er over. Hvis jeg blir ferdig og ikke er ut i Cyberspace? J
I’m sitting by my computer writing and reading. Today it has been a very nice day so I have been out for a nice walk. To do the writing on my computer has its advantages and disadvantages. It`s so tempting to do a bit of surfing. To watch some blogs, to buy a pattern or three, a stitchery and jewelry. My DD2 has an internet shop where the main sale is yoga articles and teas, but she also sells jewelry from Fifi amongst other. She called and she had spring sale with 40% on the jewelry. I logged on her shop  and bought 1 for my neck and one for my arm and 2 packages of tea.
I wonder what to buy next Friday to celebrate that my written exam is finished. If I finish instead of travelling around in Cyberspace instead. J

Need an award? Or a hug?

I got an award some time ago from Lise, and I should have given it to 5 bloggers with less than 100 followers.  Fighting with my exam writing, I haven’t the time to surch for you. I read a lot of blogs but you seem to have a lot of followers all of you!
So if YOU are in need of a hug or an award, feel free to take it but you have to answer five questions:
1.       Why did you start a blog? I started mine because it was easier to send comments to others who had. I also felt that when you make a promise on a blog you do a lot to keep it.
2.       Which blogs do you follow?I follow  lot of different blogs and their favorites too.
3.       Favorite colour? Bright colours. Blue and turquoise.
4.       Favorite films?  Old English costume movies with a happy ending, or films with “normal lives”. I don’t like too much violence or science fiction.
5.       Which country would you like to visit and why?  I would like to go to China and follow the old “Silk Road”, see the silk production and maybe buy a yard or two…….
I said I would try to make 4 charity blankets this year. I have made one and one toy this month. This month I think I have to keep to stitchery and do some serious writing and reading. Enjoy life and if you have a piece of advice for an exam writer, so post a comment. I’ll need them the next fortnight!

The ongoing Competition

My desk is full of exam papers, books, articles and more, and I’m trying to write an article about empowering young people at school. My sewing machine is packed down, my magazines are tucked away, my sewing room is clean and tidy, and I have no work in progress. What happens?
I write a bit. I read a bit. I need a pause. A magazine is opened, and then another one, and suddenly I have a work in progress. Three more weeks before I have to finish my exam article. Plenty of time.
Maybe I should write about the empowerment of an addicted quilter instead?
