Things to smile about this week: 1. The knitting bag my Grandma made me. Isn’t she clever? It fits everything in perfectly and looks so pretty. I tied this lovely vintage hanky to the handle to finish it off. I’ve been wondering what to do with that for ages.
2. Going out for a family lunch tomorrow. It’s my Dad’s birthday on Sunday so we’re taking him out for pizza. There will also be chocolate cake. Oh yeah.
3. The late afternoon sun shining on the trees. How can that not make you smile?
4. These awesome little mugs I found in the charity shop. For 50p each.
5. Writing two letters and sending one mammoth email as part of my pre-New Year resolution. Go me.
