Shades of Aqua

August 23, 2012 By Spoonful of Sugar - 3 Comments

Making us smile today …..

  • Completed a reversible runner for our coffee table at my sewing group this week. It is a simple design from white linen and fabrics to match our cushions/pillows and it looks perfect in our family living area.
  • New Ceramic Coasters in the perfect shade of aqua/sea glass that arrived today (as a result of some recent online shopping).
  • New magazine arrived in our letterbox this week. It came with a wooden crochet hook and cute pattern for crocheted stars.
It really is the little details that make us happy. What has put a smile on your face today?
