These are things that have been making me happy in the last month...
EATING- Strawberries. Summer fruit is the best. My brother's birthday falls in mid June and my mum always makes a raspberry gateau for him. Just perfect.
LISTENING TO- "All of me" by John legend. Gorgeous song and gorgeous lyrics. I have also been enjoying Joshua Radin and a bit of Paper Aeroplanes for some slow summer music.
MAKING- Quilts and quilt squares. Lots of quilts on the go. Lots of pinning and piecing to be done. Quilting is making my heart happy at the moment.
PRACTICING- Hand lettering. Drawing fonts is hard but it is possibly the most relaxing craft I have tried.
DRINKING- Tea. Always tea. The teabag variety at uni and the much nicer loose leaf type at home.
LOVING- Simple little stork scissors. These are kept by my sewing machine. They are super sharp, very delicate and and wonderfully pretty. Such a joy to use. I totally recommend having a pair to snip off all those ends of thread from your sewing projects.

I loved Elise's post too, and your post today is awesome, Abi. Love the photo format and the pictures of what you are currently up to. Such a sweet and simple way to document your current loves. xo
What a lovely post! I've never seen stork scissors, but if I ever do, I'll be picking up a pair. I, too, have been working on practicing hand lettering (and doodling).
i've been listening to All of Me a lot too, beautiful song <3
definitely need those scissors!!
Lovely things and lovely times, Abi!
I do like strawberries. We learned to make a "Strawberry Butterfly Sponge" at school (soooo many years ago!!), with fresh cream and fresh strawberries. It was so pretty and tasted so good - always a hit when I made it! Raspberry Pavlova is always yummy too - though these days, I rarely get something like this, as I can't have dairy cream...
Quilting and font-drawing.. isn't it lovely to have time to do these things? Have a lovely summer break! X
Your teaspoon with the oak leaf handle is stunning.
There are few things to beat the satisfaction of using a very sharp pair of scissors: you are right, I think I need to look for a new pair
What pretty scissors! I can see why you have them close. I do love a sharp pair of scissors - and woe betide anyone who cuts paper with them :). A lovely, calm post of pretty things.
YOur photos today are perfect in their simplicity and focus.

Gorgeous Abi! I saw this on Elise's blog too and I love your take on it. Beautiful pictures :)
