Positivity thread šŸ¤— / how was your first week of 2021?

Thanks for this thread! Yet another thing I am loving about being part of Ribblr! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

For us we were back to our homeschool routine this week after the holiday break. Itā€™s always so nice even though we are simple and laid backā€¦having some form is so much better than all day freedom!
Today I had a new knitting class of tween girls, now that makes two a week. :star_struck: It excites me soooo much to be teaching a new generation of knitters! They are amazing girls. :yarn: :yarn: :yarn:

That is really exciting!
Not long ago someone shared on a different post that her young granddaughters knitted her a gift. I think thatā€™s so awesome.

My week was great, I managed to be very productive so I felt really good about that! But the best part is that I finally figured out a way to solve a design issue I was having with a new pattern Iā€™m designing, so I was so happy! It was an actual ā€˜eurekaā€™ moment! :star_struck:

Oh good idea, to throw in some positivity !

Iā€™d love to have some baklava, but Iā€™m on a diet, hehe ! (well, trying toā€¦)

I experienced a little bit of postitvity while taking pictures for a new crochet pattern. The weather had been dark and dreary all week, but suddenly, on my day off, the clouds opened up and I had daylight ! I was finally able to take some good pictures of my work. :smiley:

Nawwww thanks Saar!
Hereā€™s my positive:
I canā€™t crochet at the moment because my fingers are having a bit of an RSI freak out.
So yesterday was my day off work for the week (I work part time) and I spent the whole day with my daughter who is about to start school. It was just delightful being present with her. We went school shopping, visited the park and went swimming. Perfect Aussie summer fun with my girl.
Only 2 more weeks before she starts big school!! Eeeeeek
