New Cushion for our bedroom

I stumbled across Thornback and Peel, in a gift shop in Lewes. They also do tea towels which I adore. Anyway I found this cushion in RUME in Hove, it now sits on the armchair in our bedroom. Please check them out on www.thronbackandpeel.co.uk Thornback and Peel celebrate British quirkiness in their textile designs. The hand printed designs pay attention to detail and slightly unusual images.

Everyday

I ordered a couple of books last week, which arrived this morning. They are making things type books, hopefully to be viewed on my blog soon!
Anyhow, there was quote that instantly spoke to me!

In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep it simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present. - Tao Te Ching

Anyway it has given me some food for thought on this chore filled morning.

Thinking of changing our lounge around

We are trying to re arrange our lounge, I keep sourcing images, but I am really drawn to this one...(found on the livingetc.com website)

LV feeling the cold

Could I have possibly underdressed my eldest? She claimed to be cold within minutes of leaving home.

Our Road covered in snow

Here it is, evidence of the snow downfall. Yes it reached us in West Sussex. Loved that RWM could work from home. Loved that grown men threw snowballs like teenagers. Loved that walking through the village, there was a stillness as people embraced the snowy weather.

Words I like today

With the country covered in snow, the heaviest downfall in nearly 20 years. It made me think about England, new beginnings, friendships, God, comfort food and my husband working from home. So I decided to cut out favourite words for today and snap it for my photo journal.
