Starting the week by writing the Happy List is something I’ve been doing for the last few years. It’s my chance to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of the adventures we have as a family.

Five Happy Things {Week 9/2025}

Over the weekend I finally finished my Liberty Tumbling Blocks cushion. I used black Liberty fabric for the back of the cushion, as no one gets to see it. It’s a large cushion and I’m so glad it’s done. The blocks are made is red, black and white so go well with our furniture.

I’ve been reading The Lost Dresses of Italy by M.A. McLaughlin for the last few days. I love an historical novel and I’m enjoying the story which is set in post-war Italy.

I’ve binged watched The Åre Murders on Netflix. I love a good Scandi series and this is a good one, fingers crossed for a second series.

Although the weather has been lovely lately I’ve been trying to squeeze in another jigsaw puzzle. I found the 1000 piece Accidentally Wes Anderson jigsaw puzzle from Laurence King in a charity shop and really wanted to make it. We loved the Accidentally Wes Anderson exhibition last year and this is a fun reminder of it.

We celebrated St David’s Day with some yummy Welsh cakes from M&S. the last time I tried making them, they didn’t turn out well, so this year I bought them!
