Feeling Creative

I decided to give Cherie's white onesie a twist by sewing a lady bug patch on it. I adore lady bugs, they're so cute! I kind of associate it with kids, probably because of the color and most babies and kids' clothes and toys have bugggs!





I just used white thread and sewn the patch on the onesie withe really small stitches.

DIY Air Freshener

During mornings Belle spends time with her grandparents and I get to catch up on sleep and clean the house. I made an air freshener using a fragrant oil and water. My favorite is cherry it smells like chocolate.

Just add a few drops of oil in a perfume bottle with water et voilà ! This is great because there are no other chemicals and you can choose your own scent and it costs nothing!

Vintage Books

Today my husband is on duty and I'm praying that they won't have any fires or rescue operations because he was sick for two days, I told him not go to work today but he was persistent. Went to my favorite vintage book store.

I love old books, especially the leather bound ones which have old world elegance, everything was better back then, don't you think? And going to the store awaiting to find a new treasure... Lovely.

""My husband claims I have an unhealthy obsession with secondhand bookshops. That I spend too much time daydreaming altogether. But either you intrinsically understand the attraction of searching for hidden treasure amongst rows of dusty shelves or you don't; it's a passion, bordering on a spiritual illness, which cannot be explained to the unaffected." -Kathleen Tessaro, Elegance

I went to the hardware store and I found this! Well, it is actually a curtain holder, I just removed the other brass things and turned it to a hanger holder instead... I think it's beautiful, though.




And I found this little Greek gentleman.

I have been finding good quick recipes I can do for at least half an hour? Any good ones?
