Monday happy things

Monday again, where did the weekend go?

– I’ve been having a huge de-clutter and tidy which is ongoing and never ending. During the week I finished tidying our bedroom. You can finally see the floor and it feels like a lovely place to fall asleep – the Tempur mattress probably helps 🙂 Over the weekend I managed to read 4 years’ worth of Mollie Makes magazine. I took out any projects I want to make and have stored all the free cover gifts in a box – I think I’ve only ever made one! This has given me a huge amount of shelf space back. Perhaps it’s time to make the switch to digital magazines.

– My 3 year old helped me make banana cake this morning. Enough said.

– Series 3 of The Great British Sewing Bee starts this week. I love this programme and find it so very inspiring, I even began to search Pinterest for something to make for my 3 year old to wear…..

– I enjoyed upcycling some of my vintage Scrabble tile letters into keyrings for my Etsy shop.

– I bought a bunch of daffodils for my mantlepiece. The only receptacle I could find was an old jar waiting to be recycled which made me feel a little like a student again. I have watched them come to life today. The evenings are noticeably lighter too. Spring is on its way.

    Sounds like a great Monday! I need to find time to have a good de-clutter and get rid of loads of old things that I no longer need.
    My little girl loves to “help” me bake.
