How good are Sundays…

A little sleep in…I always make my breakfast and then back to bed, watch a bit of telly…check my emails…and some blogs…then up and do a general clean-up, have a shower, turn up the music..and maybe into the sewing room and that is what I am doing today…it was a hectic week at work, longer hours than normal…but all worth it….does any one else have a Sunday ritual….these are a couple of parcels I am sending off tomorrow to ?? and two little stitcheries I did last night and I hope to make into….????…..

Have the best Sunday…
