Let's play Spot the difference with these two pictures! How many differences can you spot?
Hello! How are you? Welcome to new mysterious follower whose Google friend picture appears to be a plant! Since It's now getting cold, I've been wearing more of my hats to keep the heat in (and well- because we all know I like a hat!)
Let me tell you, this hat is SERIOUSLY annoying in the wind! Unlike my other big felt hats which fit my head snuggly, this one is a little loose and it kept making an escape bid all on the way to school. Then it started raining so I crossly shoved it in my bag...
It is hard to believe I am already wearing knitted tights and knitted dresses! (Dress: charity shop purchase from a couple of years ago, tights, Tescos, belt: Mum, hat: Asos, Necklace: gift from Sophie with upcycled addition)
I decided to add that flower pendant I made out of a broken earring to this teapot necklace that Sophie gave me to pick out the tights detail.
I made a bit of a horrible discovery at school today which upset me (and others) alot. I'm really glad that I discovered it and brought it to attention but it still disgusted me how cruel children can be. It made me worry about the type of things that children do get up to. If you are in the habit of praying (and even if not, please think about it), please pray that the anger, cruelness and lack of empathy that some children to seem to have will be dissapated and they will aim for GOOD!
The day was hard- children were very lacklustre today. Year 3 were good but Year 5 and 6 were HARD work as was choir. (That said- orchestra, which used to be the bane of my life is really good!)
The nutty brown details in this outfit (i.e. hat, belt, bag) were inspired by this acorn I found in Frinton the other week (it has a really pleasing rattle). I reflected on the shades of brown, Certain shoes and bags and items of clothing look really nice in this sort of acorn shade because of the texture and reflections of the material. It wouldn't look so nice in every type of material like wool. It's like life. Everything has a way of being beautiful if viewed in a certain light, or used in a certain way, or fulfilling its purpose. Everything has beauty and goodness, you just have to find the way it works best or find it's best purpose. Like me, like you. What is the purpose for you? In which way do you work best? For me, reflecting on my homegroup study, I need to find what is God's purpose for me. Am I looking for different doors because I see closed doors because I am not pushing hard enough, am I lacking the knowledge? Am I seeking purpose in the wrong places? Interesting things to meditate on.
And sometimes you just need green food. I felt in need of GREEN! A little bit of summer grass coloured magic! This bowl of goodness included:
Soya beans, peas, sweetcorn, green cabbage, chicory, spinach, oodles of butter. (I also ate 3 slices of bread with epoisses cheese earlier!)
Share some of your random thoughts with me, do!
I don't have much green food here
ReplyDeleteLove the hats + tights + shoes combo! Perfection. That bowl of green looks yummy! I love my veggies :)

Interesting! You slather butter onto your salad? Very interesting! I will send good thoughts in the direction of your students, and I know that you will guide them to the path of kindness. I can barely talk to a child for five minutes without getting frustrated, so I think you are a marvelous person for positively impacting the youth of society. Mwah to you! :D
ReplyDeleteI generally dislike children, they can be utterly abhorrent on occasion. Playground cruelty does not surprise me in the least. If good old fashioned discipline was allowed I'm sure most of the issues would be resolved pronto.
ReplyDeleteLoving knitted tights, does seem too early for all that though. Hope it warms up a bit soon! x
In this house, opaque tights only allowed between October 1st and March 31st
ReplyDelete[well, that's MY rule, I let Bob choose for himself!!]

I have to be honest and admit I wasn't all too sure about the hat at first, but judging from the full length picture, it is really pretty and pulls the whole outfit together.
ReplyDeleteNot so good about school...kids can be so cruel and I could give myself nightmares about the nasty things they did to me, even 14 years after I've left! I can reflect mostly with fond memories and block out the bullying, taunting and cruelty. You just wonder what drives kids to do it in the first place, do they not realise the effect they are having, are they just doing it for fun, out of boredom or do they intend it? x x x
hello fellow hat lover! you look wodnerful! but yes sometimes wind+hats= annoying !lol!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you found some bad news. The world can be a starnge old place sometimes, but sending positive thoughts your way and to all the children also xxx
I am so insanely jealous of that hat I am turning green! I just want to cover it with an orange ribbon and acorns, leaves and maybe even a small felt squirell...in fact sod it! A woodland scence all the way around.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that you made a terrible discovery, children indeed can be horrid and cruel. We can only hope that they are taught how to treat others the way they would like to be treated but some parents don't teach their children basic human kindness.
I hope your week improves and I am loving the outfit.
I hate to say it but I'm not a fan of children, you may have the odd off-day but you obviously have the patience of a saint to tolerate them in such large doses! Fab hat but butter on salad? x
ReplyDeleteI love your hat!! It's too awesome with the scalloped edge!! And your tights are fun too! Sorry that the children are being downright awful. I wish that wouldn't happen. Hug.
ReplyDeleteHi my dear! You really are very patient and I know you are also a really positive influence on these young children, just persevere and keep up the good work and you will see changes in their behaviour, I'm sure. Your salad looks scrumptious and I would also have oodles of butter on mine too, lol!! xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous hat! xo
ReplyDeleteKezzie I am sorry to hear about your discovery at school. It must be challenging at times and frustrating. They are lucky to have you. I enjoy your writing style. So easy and pleasant to read.
ReplyDeleteWill mention these children in prayer. Love your pretty green dress and adorable tights. Dawn
