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 smile in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures.

Five Happy Things {Week 24/2025}

Last week I completed the wooden key ring from love embroidery magazine. It was a nice quick project which is all I’ve felt like doing recently.

We visited the bendy house in Charterhouse Square. Officially called Weak at The Knees and designed by Alex Chinneck for Clerkenwell Design Week, the sculpture/artwork is open until the end of July. You can walk under the front of the house which is a very strange experience.

Our kids both spent the weekend at Scout camp so we had some time to ourselves. We went and watched Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning at our local Everyman cinema. The film was really good, but very long! There were some good trailers so I’m looking forward to more trips over the summer.

I’ve admired the work of Emma Giacalone for a while and was excited to see she was exhibiting her work among the collection at the Museum of Brands. I don’t know how to describe her work, except she recreates food in embroidered form. Her work can be found amongst the collection and it was fun to look at the displays and work out what was old and what has been created.

What’s made you happy this week?
