subverted tea towel workshop

The Weekly Edit {Week 5/2026}

Posted on February 2, 2026February 9, 2026 by jenny

Starting my week with the Weekly Edit is a ritual I’ve kept for years. It’s my favourite Monday morning anchor—a chance to slow down, celebrate the ‘small wins,’ and gather the smiles from the week behind us. Part reflection and part record-keeping, it’s my way of documenting our family’s adventures before the next chapter begins.

The Weekly Edit {Week 5/2026}

We are all massive F1 fans so were excited to hear about the new Kit Kat F1 chocolates. They are only available at Morrisons Daily so it took me a while to track them down but I did! Kit Kat is the official chocolate bar of Formula 1 and they are also running competitions to win tickets on normal multipacks (which is a good excuse to buy more!).

Kit Kat F1 chocolates

It’s been raining a lot so it feels like I’ve been binge watching. Last week we watched The Seven Dials Mystery by Agatha Christie on Netflix which was good, as well as Bridgerton Season 4 Part 1, also on Netflix.

We did make it out of the house and went to watch The Housemaid at the cinema. I don’t usually enjoy thrillers and did have to watch some it through my fingers.

Over the weekend I went to the Fashion and Textile Museum to take part in a subverted tea towel workshop with Holly Searle. Using vintage tea towels, the original meaning is subverted by adding a statement which alters the original perspective. It was fun and a great way to spend a morning.

Laura Wall puzzle

I seem to do a lot of puzzles over the winter months and finished another Laura Wall jigsaw. This was 1000 pieces and has been half done for a while, so it felt good to finish it.

Until next week—find the joy in the little things.

    That’s a lovely jigsaw you’ve completed! Jigsaws are a great way to pass the time, especially during the Winter months.

    I fancy a cinema trip, I might give that film a try. Yes, it’s been very rainy and uninspiring. I might also have to get some jigsaw puzzles out.

    I miss doing puzzles, it used to be my favorite thing to do in the world until I got super busy. I should do it again, it is so much fun.

    Oooh, The Housemaid was soooo good. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! Great flick.

    I saw the housemaid to and really enjoyed it, although I knew what was coming as I’d read the book. We’re huge F1 fans and I didn’t know Kit Kat was the official chocolate of F1, as if I need an excuse to buy some haha x

    Solving and completing a jigsaw puzzle is the fantastic way to pass time in my opinion. Love the book recommendations!

    That tea towel workshop sounds really interesting. My partner loves KitKats but I’ve not seen these ones.
