My Friday Afternoon: Reading, Writing, Knitting and Tea

- March 29, 2013 | by April -

Play2

I try to keep my Friday afternoons open for play. For me, this usually includes lots of reading, a little writing, a creative activity like knitting or sewing and of course, tea.

I enjoy winding down from the week with some of my favorite things.

What about you? What do you do for play time? Do you make time each week for some of your favorite things?

    Ahhhh…sounds like bliss! I also love to drink tea and read. That is my idea of heaven and the perfect way to spend a little free time. I also enjoy walking my dogs, playing tennis and scrapbooking. Or taking a drive on a nice day in my cute convertible with the top down and some tunes to sing along to playing on the radio. And napping…napping is good! 🙂

      Oh, yes…walking my dogs is the best. I’ve never gotten into tennis, but I’ve always wanted to learn. Napping is good! 🙂

    It’s always tea time around these parts. 🙂 I like to read magazines and make collages for fun. This might sound weird, but cleaning up the house (even just a little bit) on Friday nights really helps me relax into my weekend.

      I can understand that–it’s like you’re starting with a clean slate. We usually do a little cleaning on Saturday morning for the same reason.

    I love that you have a set day for your play time. I will have to try something like this as well.
    I do try to make time for play each day – but of course this is not possible each day! At least not in a big way. I do however do small “play” things each single day.
    (Thanks to you actually – learned this in Roadmap!) For example I knit a bit each day. Even if it is just a few rows. It helps me relax and my knitting grows. 🙂 I can not fit in drawing, sewing, reading, button making into each day … but I like to switch it up. Either I draw a little OR I read OR I work on a sewing project …

    However, there is ALWAYS TEA! Each and every single day. At least on big cup in the morning and one big cup in the afternoon. I love my little tea ritual. Without it I feel not whole. 🙂

    xox,

    Ursula

      YES! Fitting in just a little bit adds those bursts of joy and happiness to each day. I usually do something each evening like a little knitting while watching television with my man or reading a magazine to relax. 🙂

      And, yay for tea!!!
