The Happy List

The Happy List is back, and here are my latest additions:

1// This vintage railway poster art by Frank Newbould - I have fond memories of Southend-on-Sea so I would love to have something like this hanging up in our house. 

2// I'm making a quilt for someone at the moment, made up of squares collected from their family and friends, and it has really given me the quilting bug! I love this triangle pattern, think something like this will be my next project.  

3// Look at this little floral crowned kitty... 

4// "If it doesn't matter, get rid of it" - something I am trying to live by at the moment. I used to have the approach of saying yes to everything and then thinking about it later, but this year I have made a big effort to practice saying no. 

5// I love this DIY gem mirror from A Beautiful Mess. So much easier than it first looks!

6// I've recently discovered the textile design work of Rebecca Atwood and I am in love! Her design process is so inspiring... Take a look at this whole collection, just beautiful. 

And there you have it. What's making you happy this week?

Also making me happy this week: 

>>> Deliciously Ella - this food blog is changing my life! So many amazing plant based recipes and healthy alternatives to treats. I'm really noticing a difference in my mood and energy after swapping some of my bad eating habits. 

>>> This TED talk - really worth a watch. 

>>> This chocolate and courgette cake recipe - mine is literally in the oven right now! 

and finally..... 

>>> 25 Perfectly Hand Sized Baby Animals. Obviously. 

Happy June everyone :)

Easing myself back into blogging with my favourite series! I've been hiding for a while... This year my freelance work has exploded a little bit - quite unexpectedly - so finding time to blog is proving a challenge. I'm sure I'll get back into the swing of it though - just getting used to my ever changing schedule. I'm not complaining, it's quite a nice problem to have! I just want to make sure I keep this little pocket of internet alive and well. 

Hello again :)

Baby Llama!! Are you real......? I think not, but let's pretend so.

Can you tell I'm feeling cosy today? I want to wear all of my jumpers at once and the wooliest socks available. How sweet are those birch cushions? And the the entire range of concrete jewellery at Cocorrina makes my heart ache - so beautiful! 

Also making me happy this week: 

/// This dancing penguin - he's loving it.

/// Animal Odd Couples on BBC. Possibly my favourite programme ever aired. 

/// This incredibly honest and important blog post by Bryony Kimmings calling for more transparency of earnings in the arts. Maybe it doesn't make me happy exactly, but I'm glad someone is voicing these things. 

/// Our new dehumidifier. Sounds incredibly boring but it has changed our world! No more chilly damp flat for us :) 

What's making you happy today?
