Here & Now | July 2017 Link Up

Well, we're officially more than half way through the year now. I can't quite belive it. Actually, I keep forgetting it is July. There are little signs to remind me though - the days are very slowly becoming a tiny bit longer again after the Winter Solstice, and the paddocks and bush around me have quite suddenly become very dry and crispy.
It's time for Here & Now once again - I hope you'll enjoy this month's post and also the posts that others will share too. (Make sure you check back in a day or two to see the newly added ones!). I'd love it if you'd join in too, either on your own blog or on Instagram. The guidelines for doing both are at the bottom of this post.

Loving // The stack of hand knits above. It's probably going to sound strange, but I've been waiting for the day when I had knitted myself enough wearables to have a little stack. I'm looking forward to continuing to add to it. I'm also loving the gorgeous sunny days we've been enjoying for a little while now that come with the most gorgeous golden light both morning and evening; and continuing to try and learn to spin (it's touch and go sometimes!).

Eating // Nothing right now, but later I will have some fresh sourdough with butter and maybe some locally grown raw honey

Drinking // Several cups of tea a day

Feeling // Not quite ready to tackle the housework, but it must be done!

Making // A little more progress on my knitted Vintage Sweater now that gifts and design deadlines are out of the way, and also yarn. Yes, I'm spinning yarn! Albeit kind of dodgy yarn, but hey, it's still yarn!! (Spinning post coming later this week).

Thinking // About a lovely lunch with friends and a family birthday both planned later for the week. I'm looking forward to them both very much!

Dreaming // Of starting a fibre stash for spinning, and of the lovely hand dyed yarns due to arrive in my shop in a few weeks.

Now, what are you up to? Share with a Here & Now post of your own, either on your blog, Instagram or even in the comments below! It's a fun way of documenting the little things month to month, and also a good way to get the words flowing again if you're feeling a bit stuck with your blogging (well it works for me at least!).
The link up is open from today until midnight on the 17th of this month. Remember you can now join in two ways - either on your blog or share your Here & Now on Instagram! The instructions on how to Instagram your Here & Now are below, but here are the guidelines for blogging:
