Little Home Joys
At times I like to walk through the house with my camera in hand and just record all the things I enjoy at the moment.
I change things around quite often and it’s nice to be reminded of all the little homely joys of the past :)
This desk diary I found at a second hand store and it brings me a lot of joy every time I see and use it. I just changed the numbers of the dates and it works fine!
I also found a box of old sewing magazines and it inspires me to sew more clothes.
Plus I made my first quilt blanket, it’s not perfect at all, but I had fun making it, and learned many quilting lessons in the process.
