Here & Now | August 2017 Link Up

Welcome to this month's Here& Now! I realise my post is a little later getting up here than I normally have it, but at least I still managed to get it done in the morning :-) It's been one of those weeks here, so I'm not surprised that I'm running late with the blogging.
I hope you'll join in today too, or sometime before midnight on the 17th. It's fun to see what everyone's been up to and a great way to get a little documentation into your blog without having one of those extraordinarily long lists.
Here we go!

Loving // The little taste of spring we've been getting. You all know I'm a cold weather person, but I do really love those first few warm weeks too. I always enjoy a seasonal change, even if I do lament the farewell of the previous one. Having said that, it's cold again here today! Crazy August weather.

Eating // Nothing right now, but I was down on the coast yesterday and discovered a lovely french patisserie I didn't know existed. Their little sweet treats were divine - I had a Pear & Almond tartlet.

Drinking // Tea! Lovely organic English breakfast tea, with a mug cosy to keep it warm

Feeling // Quite done in - but I can't believe it is only Thursday! 

Making // Stitch markers for my shop, quite a few more than I anticipated as they are being very popular. I'm also working on a new pattern, I'm half way through it now, long past the swatching stage you see in the desk photograph above.

Thinking // That I've had calmer weeks. The camera died this week. Just completely stopped working. Between playing up on Monday and a phone call with Canon, it turned its toes up the next day. I'm grateful I had my iPad to photograph stock with, although I never thought I'd be uploading non-proper-camera photos to my shop. But I did!

Anyway, a second-hand Canon seems to be the solution so that I can send mine down to Canon in Sydney and see what they have to say. I've never bought electronic or computerised goods second hand before and I was so stressed. I'm still holding my breath even though the new-to-me camera is sitting here and is working! 

The camera dying was just the metaphorical mouse that tipped the whole week upside down

Dreaming // Of nothing much right now, I'm still focused on the doing!

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!).
