Hello lovelies,
this first week of 2013 I'm starting a weekly themed post.
I'm joining in with Jen's wonderful idea to celebrate the joy that small things can bring .
These posts will be short and simple.....four happy moments I've captured on my trusty little camera, with a brief explanation of each image.
So here goes with week 1.....
1.A beautiful sunset on New Years Eve, captured while waiting at a red light.
2.My new veg steamer, a very practical Christmas prezzie from my kind Mum in Law.....it's great and so frugal.
3.Looking in to my kitchen when I went out to the bins after dark. I love our colourful little home...despite the mess and clutter.
4.Spending New Years Eve with my brother and sister in law and their girls. We played board games and enjoyed good food as well as watching the stunning London fireworks in the telly.
The start of a new year seems to be a good time to embark on a fresh project and I hope you will enjoy sharing these simple, happy moments too.
Lot's of other lovely bloggers have already joined in with this wonderful idea so if you feel like joining in too do:0)
I may not always post the pictures as a Mosaic....just enjoying the novelty of finally figuring out how to do them .

ReplyDeleteHello Jacqui Im back in blogland and loving catching up with your tales! What a great way to take a photo looking into your window when the lights make it so cosy and glowing! Just wanted to say how much I still enjoy the crochet cushion I won on your blog giveaway afew years ago, thank you again so much. I am now a crochet addict and have abandoned sewing in favour of all things hooky! Heather xxx

ReplyDeletelovely Jacquie. I also use this steamer and it's brilliant. Sometimes you can do almost the whole meal at once and no more soggy veg! Heather x

I'm not sure how/where you made your mosaics but I discovered a site recently called PicMonkey & it is flipping awesome :D If that's not where you did yours I'd check it out

I love this idea Jacquie, I'm going to join in too x Just what we need to cheer us up with this miserable wet weather. Love your cosy kitchen photo, it looks so warm and inviting xox Penelope
ReplyDeleteHi Jacquie - lovely idea for the New Year I am joining in too x
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqui, I think you may be inspiring your whole neighbourhood with your gorgeous red bunting, spotty jug and fabulous red tulips. Your house looks so cosy and inviting.
ReplyDeleteLovely idea, simple and succinct, but best of all, it looks on the bright side of life!
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqui,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. So full of wonderful photos and inspiration. Thank you!
Off to Jen's to have a look.....
Lovely idea Jacquie, love your kitchen shot so cosy!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely start to your 2013. Happy New Year Jacquie x
ReplyDeleteIsn't Jen's project great? I really enjoy putting my "happy" post together each week. Love the shot of your looking into your kitchen from the outside - it does look very cosy and inviting indeed.

I think this is a great idea. I've been thinking for a long time of doing something similar. So often I forget to be grateful for all that I already have, focusing instead on whatever the latest thing is I'm hankering after! I don't think I could manage four things a week, though, so I'm not officially joining in, but will be thinking up lots of new definitions of happiness through the year and posting photos to match when I can.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great blog, as ever, and best wishes for the New Year.
Making a mosaic is one thing I want to figure out too. I think I'm joining in. :-) Have a good week. Regula
