ROCKING YOUR WORLD FRIDAY - 34TH OF 2022

 Good morning lovely people tis Friday time for

well after the very busy week that we had had last Friday was something of a kickback day if I'm brutally honest, we tootled about, picked up a frame and spent several hours catching up at my Mum's with my Mum and my sister. 

Saturday dawned and we decided to head to Sheffield they had a Lego trail for the kids happening and it was the last couple of days of the trail so we decided to make the most of it and head there to have a wander, we grabbed ourselves a trail map for a £1 and set off, we had a fabulous time finding all the sculptures, stopping off for a tasty coffee on our way around. 

Blogger is being naughty and put my photos in reverse but never mind, this was the last one we 'found' at Ponds Forge leisure centre

it looked great from the side

There was a lot of work in this one inside one of the Sheffield Hallam University buildings

this one was called Mollie and was inside Primark

whilst we found this one in the Metro Bank 

I loved the colours on this one in TK Maxx

this one was probably the most detailed inside the Light cinema building on the Moor

So much detail and literally hundreds of hours of work

A trio of dinosaurs in Atkinsons department store

Inside the winter gardens

this one was my favourite as I loved the colours

although this one gave it a run for its money, this one was called Vera

at the bottom of the escalators in the Millennium gallery. 

We thoroughly enjoyed the trail, sometimes doing something set up for a child takes you back to those fun play like tasks that I think as adults we forget. 

Sunday was house cleaning day and some scrapbooking for me, which I really enjoyed (the scrapbooking not the cleaning). 

My sister sent me a picture of one of the potatoes my Mum has managed to grow this year, it definitely made us giggle she said she was going to turn it into a jacket potato with cheese. 

Monday came too quickly and I was back at the work desk, albeit from home.  I managed to clear down month end and then did some online training which was tedious but necessary, GDPR is such a 'dry' subject. 

The rest of the week tripped along at a merry old pace and I find myself back at Friday.

I hope you had a great week.

Rocking Your World Friday - 9th of 2019

Good morning lovely people tis Friday so time to clock the positive moments, silver linings and everything else in the last 7 days

Well the first positive has to be crafting time, I have spent many months looking longingly at my craft table but genuinely not getting anywhere and then there has been this lovely resurgence of crafting.  Helped along by finding a very inexpensive pad of papers in my very favourite colour way of aquas, whites and red.  

I have had an absolute ball creating these layouts, most of them documenting fun times in 2017. 

Saturday arrived and we'd volunteered to help bring the boat back from Sheffield.  The boat had been at the bi-centenary celebration at Sheffield Quays on Friday and so 8 of us volunteered to help.  Well volunteered is maybe a strong word for me, as I don't do boats, but both hubby and said 18 year old are skipper trained so they had a fabulous time on the hand cranked locks!  Something which you rarely see these days as they are more button press and automation.

The still waters provided fabulous reflections

We also got to see some canalside artwork 

It really was a beautiful day, the sun shone all day long!

This was one of my favourite shots of the day

And this one as we went down Tinsley flight - 11 locks in total all handcranked, a far cry from the key turn and button version on the main canal. 

After such a busy day on Saturday (well the boys were busy), I had a craft class with my Mum on Sunday and tried for the first time needle felting of the handmade variety (as some of you will know I have a machine needle felter, but this was very different).  We were allegedly making teddy bears, but mine seems to have taken on a mouse like quality my Mums a koala look, but we had great fun despite the couple of injuries (the needles are not forgiving if you miss). 

We got a beautiful sunset this week, the camera never really does the colours justice, but it was a delight!  I took it as we hurtled along country lanes on our way home whilst hubby was driving, so please forgive the reflection.

I've also enjoyed reading this magazine this week, it has provided lots of lovely ideas, I'm hoping that I might be able to put a few into practice this year

And that my lovely people was my week, in some respects its been a tough one, but looking back at the positive moments really has rebalanced things for me. 

I hope you've all had a splendid week, if you fancy joining in then pop a post together, come back and link up so we can come and visit.
