Things That Are Making Me Smile

I have been so useless of late.

No blogging, minimal Instagramming, quite a lot of doing nothing really.

As a mum, I am enjoying the lazy mornings but I cannot lie, I am quite keen to get them back at school/college (such a bad person).

I am sick of making cheese toasties...dropping off/picking up and the ridiculous amounts of washing.

Sorry to moan, I love them all dearly...most of the time ;-0

Luckily for me, there are a few things that are making me smile through the pain.

love these ever changing shelves

I hope my pics made you smile too and I am very much planning on putting a bit more effort in on this here blog.

Don't hold me to that though will you?

Nice Things

Hello!

I was going to have a weeks break from this here blog, just so I can sunbathe (not really), but things have got the better of me, I just cannot stay away too long.

Don't you think everything looks and feels better when the sun is a shining?

Everything is so vibrant and pretty.

My body clock has gone a bit off kilter, you know when you sleep early and wake early?

I think it is nice to fall asleep whilst it is lovely and cool, and then rise before it gets too hot.

The early mornings are just beautiful and I am enjoying hanging out the washing and sipping a cup of tea on the decking....simple things and all that.

I decided to grab my camera this morning and catch the pretty morning light.

1) my beautiful Show Us Your Threads cake stand

2) love the top tier

3) I love this boy cat so much

4)Mr Betty built me a trellis room

5) the question that gets asked every night by every boy

6) vintage utensils

7) a little purple clock

8) flowers in the window

9) vintage ice bucket

10) a pretty little face

11) thrifted foot stool

12) a new cushion

13) Hamma time

14) ......and a bit of fun with FIMO
