52 week of happy

{13/52}
52 weeks of happy
i've found getting to the end of this week mostly more un-happy than happy, mainly because i've loved being surrounded by my family this christmas, the hubs took off the same holiday as the children, which has been just lovely for us all, as he normally works alot!, i also know i have to spend some time this weekend sorting out the school / work clothes, PE & school bags etc & will get that sinking feeling sunday night, we've had a quiet few days so when i take time to think about it i have many small {but important} things to be happy about, i did manage to capture a few pictures on the phone
1. fire lit, feet up & knitting - my happy place
2. my bandit girl print from the black apple, i'd been wanting one of emily's prints for such a long long time, when she had a little sale before christmas i couldn't resist, she took an age to arrive - so long so that i thought she'd lost her way, but she's now in the perfect frame & where i can look at her everyday
3. Hestons mince pies for waitrose, not like any mince pie i've ever had before but ever so good
4. a super quick knit for the littlest one & super cute on her too - pattern details found here

  1. Oh lovely happy things. Glad you had a good family Christmas. I love that print, she's very mysterious looking! And I feel your dread about Sunday night. x

  7. My kids went back to school today and looked so sad this morning. They have just loved the lazy holidays, but I did get some very happy kids back at school pick up time, and I managed a quick coffee with a friend this morning. Just got to get back into the housework and DIY tomorrow! x
