A Very Happy Bee

This has certainly been a mad, entertaining sort of week, topped off with a really calm and lovely weekend (thus far - not over yet). From a drunk Glaswegian on the train trying to get weary commuters to join in with a rousing chorus of 'you canny kick your granny off the bus', to a sweet conversation with an old chap and his numerous charitable work. Yesterday was all about hanging out with my mum, purchasing a few little gems for the flat, and finishing off the latest pattern.

Now that I am nicely full of pancakes and bacon, I am pleased to announce the arrival of the newest pattern, which is now available to purchase and download:

I don't know about you, but every time I look at this little chap I can't help but smile, and I hope he makes makes you smile too. To purchase, click here to head straight over to my shop. 

What else is making me happy or rather what is starting to make me think a little differently about how to appreciate each day. I signed up for the 100 Happy Days, now it is one of those things where you can I am sure be a little cynical about it, and whether or not I make it to a 100 days will remain to be seen as I am sure there will be days ahead where I'll no doubt forget to do it...put it this way its only been in the last three years that I've gotten better about daily flossing and taking evening primrose tablets (got there in the end mum!) after ten years. 

If nothing else I've taken some pretty photos...you can follow my progress over on Instragram, and occasionally will share on Twitter (trying not to bombard folks). 

For the rest of Sunday, I have two commissioned pieces to start tackling, the personal monogram I mentioned the other week (will talk about that in more detail next weekend, when I'll be starting it), and the other sees me adding lettering to an existing piece. I've also got this bundle of fabric, purchased from Village Haberdashery to work with. Yummy!

• Hothouse Flowers - Glass panes in pink and Seeds in Green
• Kona Cotton Solids - Valentine and Lilac
• Clover Sunshine - Snow Globe in Cream (not shown) and Kite Trail in Pink Red

A couple of things will come from this little lot, hopefully a hexi sketchbook cover and a little mouse for a little girl with a love for bright colours. Hopefully be starting both projects this afternoon.

What have you lot got planned today?
