Monday Happiness

Ok so the title isn’t terribly catchy (and must change) but since the Summer holidays ended I’ve missed writing our weekly updates. So I decided to bring them back with a list of some of the things which have made me happy under the title of Monday Happiness.

My 4 year old has settled into Reception really well. This week is his first full week and he’s having school dinners too.

We enjoyed a trip to the cinema to see the Boxtrolls, I loved how well behaved my children were and they’ve both been drawing pictures and making their own Boxtrolls ever since.

I found three vintage paintings of flowers at a local charity shop. I bought them for the vintage frames but then realised I quite liked the paintings of the flowers too. I just need to decide where to hang them.

We spent Saturday at Cliveden which is an amazing National Trust property. We all had such a lovely time, exploring the gardens, getting lost in the maze and playing in the story garden.

I’ve been working on some more embroidered hexagons so I can complete my final seasonal stitching club project – Wild Olive’s Winter Stitching Club. Mollie Makes Christmas is my current bedtime reading I’ve also been planning some handmade Christmas gifts and have so many WIPs my head is spinning, but in a good way, as I’m going to have to go fabric shopping soon!
