i stared at the fake stars

This quote is my favourite one of the month. It's hanging on an ornament by kylie johnson just behind my computer screen to the left a bit so that it's always in my periphery. It's a good reminder and a beautiful thought and pretty much sums up my feelings about life.

The bows happened. I could only make 26 but I felt this was not a terrible effort. I had a pre-cut pack of quilting squares so I turned almost all of them into bows with buttons (we have about eighty thousand buttons in this house).


Then when I was finished I thought "what on earth am I going to do with all these?" And the answer was staring at me in the form of a blank spot where the christmas tree should have been and was not. They then became christmas tree ornaments.

I would like to have more on the tree but it looks much cuter in person than in these photographs. Even so I am still of the opinion that it is an adorable christmas tree and adorable is not awful.

I have decided to take all the titles of my posts from now on from one of my favourite books in this whole world. Every time I'm going to make a post, I'm going to delve in to this book at random and pick the most beautiful / interesting / hilarious sentence I lay eyes upon and make it the title. Today's post marks the inaugural post-title-series of sentences from Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. I hope they tantalise and inspire in more ways than just making you want to read the book (which you probably should if you haven't already).

Inspiration of the day: Paper Cuts

Hope you're keeping cool in this heat & listening to some good relaxing beats.
