Simple Things

I am still elbow deep in crochet and yarn. But I've missed my forays into blogland terribly these past few weeks. I know have so much reading, admiring, commenting and writing to catch up on, including blogging my own adventures in a VW Campervan, and a fabby lampshade workshop I attended at the weekend.

However, in the meantime, my attention has been brought to The Simple Things. Yes, enjoying small pleasures in life is what I love. As so many of you do. And that is why I am thrilled-beyond-thrilled that the team behind my beloved Mollie Makes magazine are launching a sister title this September!

The Simple Things is a beautiful new magazine celebrating, food, life, decorating craft and, by the looks of things, features some stunning photography and talented graphic design.

So for this week I am thinking about very small pleasures while I work on the last few blocks and projects for the book, only a few days now until deadline and I am feeling the pressure...

 But there is an ottoman full of yarn waiting to be rippled/hexagonned/granny blanketed...

 I have embraced the clog way of life...

 Enjoying a brew in my new thrifted cup and saucer...

 And loving the way this new oilcloth brightens up my kitchen table...

A simple sewing project is a small triumph for me...

 Whoops! More clogs...aren't they the loveliest shoes ever?!

and i've been enjoying the garden, and all the flowers we've grown from scratch...

Yes, I love the simple things in life. I hope to see you all very soon.
