Attic24 is written by Lucy, a lovely lady, mother and wife in the northern part of jolly old England. I must say that, in addition to doing terrific and inspiring crochet projects on a regular basis, I almost feel a get-away vacation spirit when I read her posts.
Lucy's view of her little corner of the world and life in general is exactly what I wish I did in my life. It's like putting on the proverbial rosé-colored glasses. I'm sure, like Jimmi Hendrix's song says, when she sees a rainstorm she must think, 'just let the sun take a holiday.' No matter what her circumstances, good or bad, it seems as if the sun shines brighter by her observation of it wherever she and her little brood go.
I get a kick out of stopping by her house through her words to see what the latest project is, where she has taken her little peeps to explore, or if the snow is falling. Lucy has surrounded herself with color and by her blog, shares it with others.
She's on typepad, so I keep up with her with updates through my Google Reader feeds.
If you haven't met Lucy yet, you really should. Learning to see the world as she has shown me to be possible is on my To-Do list for 2012.
