15th July 2013
Monday morning
I started making my list and realised it was time for A Simple Moment so my moment this month is taken up with:
Making a list of Things To Do
Paul and Ben have left for work already, just me & Peps alone for a day.
The usual street noises pervade the space around me as I have all the windows open and the wind chime in the bathroom is tinkling in the light breeze.
I have the blinds drawn and the fans on in all the upstairs rooms, it is stifling and it’s only 7.30 am. It is lovely and light (all the blinds are white) but nicely shaded against the hot morning sun.
So as not to be distracted I haven’t turned my Mac on. If I get the list done I will feel so much more in control…that’s the plan
• There is a parcel to pick up from the main Post Office
• A little shopping needed from the supermarket
• Return an item to M&S
• Order another pair of pumps. So comfortable and brightly coloured
• Get a new garage key cut ensuring that the lost one turns up
• Look for the neck strap for my strapless (?) dress
• Look for a recipe for Bang Bang Chicken that doesn’t have 20 ingredients in!
• Take the hem up on a pair of Paul’s trousers
• Make two triangles for my Summer of Colour bunting
• Finish my fabric journal. Just the pages to sew in
• Print two ‘Month in Numbers’ pages
• Edit the Sage & Sepia photos for the last week of Summer of Colour
• Start the book for Alan otherwise his birthday will have come & gone & still no book!

Get some posts ready for this week:

ICAD Scan and post July days
P52: Stacks or layers?? Maybe the pumps??
Summer of Colour: Sage and Sepia. I have pictures, they need editing and one printed for an ICAD

A Simple Moment Almost done
There’s another week gone. Things will slow down at the end of July when SoC and ICAD finish
Note to self
Keep calm and stay cool (in the non trendy kind of way)
A Simple Moment is inspired by Alexa over at Trimming the Sails
Edited before posting
I have accomplished 8 items on the first part of the list
Lists are so good for me.
How about you, do you make them?
Do you find them useful?
And the new pink pumps arrived today
Thank you Alexa.
Now there’s a stylish pair of feet! Your list for the day is as long as mine is for a week – I clearly need to be taking lessons :). Lots of fabric related items, I read – and am looking forward to something about that fabric journal? And you are very disciplined about that Mac. Thank-you for linking up again this mid-month, Miriam – it is always a joy to visit your clean, clear, uncluttered space here. (I keep meaning to ask you about the font.) Hoping your cool and organised start stayed with you all day!
LOVE the shoes!
That’s a very ambitious list Miriam! And I have a few of those on my list as well – especially finishing my sage/sepia page.
Oh, I love lists, too! Especially the crossing-things-off-when-they’re-done part! Sounds like you’ve got a nice mix of fun/arty things and everyday things to do. Have fun with them!
PS Love those shoes!
I can most certainly relate to your moment Miriam! I love lists and I really love your new shoes!
A lovely moment and really cute pumps!

New summer shoes are always fun – especially when brightly coloured. Yep I love lists and action points… gotta know what I’m going to do next. 🙂
Oh I love lists – so glad you managed to start to make a dent in yours and I love, love, love the shoes! Thanks for sharing your list! Did I metion I love the shoes? J x
fabulous shoes. I do love lists but haven’t been making them recently as I don’t have many things that are time bound
I always enjoy your simple moments. It reminds me to pay attention and appreciate the littlest things. I, too, am a list maker. I love them and couldn’t function without them. They keep me focused and organized and also a good way to measure and document all I do.
Love the pumps! Great post – I am a list maker too!
