Playing Hookey and Give-Away

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a sunny Sunday...it's raining here but the sun is still shining in my little world if you catch my drift...

I'm writing this post to let you know that I am going to play
hookey from this blog for a week...maybe two...

I've been spending far too much time on the computer lately and I think it's time I took a little break...I may have to be locked up in a padded cell for a few days because it is not going to be easy and I will definetely miss blogging, but I think it will be good for me to muster up a bit of self discipline and to spend some more time doing other things I love.

To thank you for reading lucy violet and most especially for your friendship and support, and kind (and sometimes very funny) comments I am going to give away this vintage tea towel (what else!)


this lovely tea towel is a very recent find and I love it to bits  (but don't feel bad...its got a twin!)

Anyone, anywhere, can enter...just leave a comment. If you're a lovely, lovely follower you get two chances: but please leave an extra comment if you follow because I'm going to be all fancy-schmancy and use one of those random generator thingos. Give away closes midnight June 30...I do hope you enter x


O.K. that's it from me for a while, take care, ciao for now (sorry) and in my best Arnie voice "I'll be b-a-c-k!"

    I know where you are coming from girlfriend! It is only because I have been sick, that I have blogging so often. Yesterday, I moved the computer into the studio and vowed not to look at it. It took all of my self control. It becomes so obsessive! It is taking over my life. I need to paint the house! I need to garden, I need to cook, I need to clean, I need to get out of my jammies, I need to brush my teeth!

    I have a sinking feeling I should also step back from the internet. There are things I want (indeed MUST) get on with and I am not.

    The problem is that it is almost an addiction and I am hopeless at breaking those - although I did quit a heavy smoking habit 3 years ago so...maybe I could. But I don't want to.

    Anyway I will miss you.

    Have a productive break - hope you find a way to balance things. (If you do please let me know how.)

    I'l certainly miss you lovely, but I can definitely identify with spending a little too much time online reading blogs/blogging/pinning on Pinterest! :-)

    Hope you have lots of non-internet based fun in the next couple of weeks!! Happy Opping and hope your parcel arrives very soon!

    Kylie, I know exactly what you mean. I'm on the computer now because I've got loads of non bloggy things to do on it and what am I doing? I'm reading blogs! It's a terrible addiction. Will miss reading your blog and your cheery comments. Have a good break and get lots done. xx

    I completely understand the need to take a break from the computer! It does become obsessive and hindersome! I hope you find a happy balance :)

    My dear, I'm just the same. My poor husband is a blog widow. I start stressing if I've not posted for a while, and trying to keep up with everyone's posts is so time consuming it leaves no time to do things to post about! Enjoy your break and come back refreshed! Thanks for the lovely giveaway.

    Awww hun Im so going to miss you while you are on your blog break but totally understand where you are coming from, blogging has become very addictive! I feel guilty if In havent caught up on everyones blogs!
    Now that my little boy is mobile and crawling everywhere Im only getting time now when he is napping, being looked after by daddy or is having a snack in the high chair so my blogging has slowed down. I go back to work in August too so that will also mean I cant blog as much.

    Enjoy your break and I hope you do lots of lovely things.

    Enjoy your time off friend!! I appreciate you for doing taking this break. it's so easy to be drawn into the online world! Just when you have some offline time you can truly realize there's so much more in the real world!!
    I'm sure you'll find your balance and come back refreshed! xx

    I'm totally going to miss you! I appreciate that you're establishing your priorities and sticking to them though. I need to do a similar evaluation followed up by some action. I hope you enjoy your time off - we'll all be anxiously awaiting your return. Lovely tea towel too!

    Hi Kylie - no fair - just when I find your blog you take a break! What timing. Seriously though I also understand why you feel the need to - they can be all consuming if given half a chance. Enjoy your time away - I'll be keeping a look out for whenever you decide to come back. Sharon xx

    I love linen towels! I change my towels out all the time for the seasons and holidays. It's a great way to decorate your kitchen.
    I understand the blogging break. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the number of blogs that I see. So many great ideas, then I start comparing mine to others and you could easily get lost going from one to the next. I'm actually taking a week off from my day job to work on my website. I love the creativity of the blog, but I really need to list new items for sale, so that's my focus for this week. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Glad to hear the brownies turned out well.
