Wishing you all a happy winter solstice ✨☺️
Here's to the small things in life: the smallest Witch hat I made this far 🫣 so tiny!

Enjoying my new one-handle kitchen faucet. We had a two-handle kitchen faucet for years.

Now I can turn on the water with my forearm when my hands are sticky, and not get the handle sticky.

Stealing @aleen's #SmallThings idea for a moment to say "I sent an invoice!" Yay me for doing the thing!

(Now I'm getting back in bed with my book.)

I am enjoying nearly everything about MacOS after abandoning Windows some time ago. The exception is Finder (MacOS) vs File Explorer (Windows). I am sick of Finder creating a new directory (aka folder) in the root, rather than the directory that I want it created in.

I have just found a right-click option in Finder - "New terminal at folder". So I can right-click on the directory where I want to create a sub-directory, open a terminal window at that folder and then "mkdir" a new subfolder. Woohoo!

I still get a kick out of getting a glass of ice water and the ice, for a moment, staying on the bottom of the glass and I feel like I've managed to defy the laws of physics. I have a simple mind. #smallthings #water #physics #feebleminded

While life was awful for a while after the twins were born, I think I learned to appreciate the small, beautiful moments more.
Like seeing the first light of the morning through the big, old tree in the distance from our kitchen window while preparing their bottles .
Or like this morning, waking up and hearing the rain dripping while having 5 more minutes to lay in bed before having to go to work.

Don't forget, life is beautiful.

I got to take a stamp making class from Erico of Small Things. Really fun and positive. Recommend if you get the chance. She is very talented and a good teacher.

Quiet Moment the the Day:

Even on the bad days there are beautiful things all around you. Look for the tiny details, the little glimmers of light. Find the good.

Quiet Moment the the Day:

Time to go exploring! This is just a pile of leaves until you look closer. The more you look, the more you'll find amid the moss and leaves.

Find your tiny glimmers of joy. Even the small things are important.

Effective immediately and definitively, I no longer use scotch brite pads and similar in my #restorations, #woodworking, or anything else. These products fall apart into plastic dust as they are used, going straight into the environment.

There is a global #microplastics problem. And with the new study released about them accumulating in our brains, as well other organs, well…

We need to do better since corporations & governments won’t. The onus is on us.

Steel wool for the win!

As a Single i personally find it ...boring to cook (properly preparing and adding ingredients...) but nevertheless enjoy meals.
So i tried out some ready made stuff - then realised how actually used (and privileged) we are to a lot of things. #ingredients

My "Red Curry"meal contains stuff from:
Germany
Poland
China
Turkey
Portugal
Spain
India
Ukraine
Indonesia

🤪
🤔

(Btw. a majority of the ingredients probably would be used when/IF i'd cook that myself)

#smallthings

Because I’m pleased with the results I’m sharing the bed I put together for the chaos monkey ( who has informed me she is no longer a monkey but a dinosaur princess veterinarian artist ) as a surprise.
She had outgrown her toddler bed (used, now donated) so I scoured tag sales and swapped baked goods and seeds.
I think the results speak for themselves.
