Grace in small things.
1. Today is a beautiful day. Sunshine has major restorative powers, people. Just don't forget your sunblock!
2. I held a poetry competition for World Poetry Day (tomorrow) at school, and got a LOAD of submissions. I've already read a couple from the older kids, who have greatly astounded me with their gift. I think of the sort of thing I wrote when I was 17, and I shrink in embarrassment. These boys are good.
3. I absolutely cannot wait for the Crafty Fox Spring Market on Sunday. I've been stitching away on new ticky tocks for what feels like forever, and I'll also be rocking up with some adult sized versions (digital, of course!), just to see how they go. Wish them luck!
4. Dhari's having a rare midday snooze.
5. The Hunger Games film is out this week. Woo! But I think I'll have to wait until next weekend to see it. Oh well...

1. Good news on a bad news kind of day. In this case, I am chuffed to announce that I'll once again be presiding over a humbly awesome table at the Crafty Fox Spring Market at the Dogstar in Brixton in March. Woo!
2. Marcus painted the kitchen an antique-white. It's suddenly a bigger room. Yay!
3. babybandito has been getting a windfall of ticky tock orders. Wahoo!
4. We're finally getting our buzzing radiators fixed. Now I can sleep with the heating on in my bedroom, without having it wake me up hourly. Shazam!
5. I have finished reading The Hunger Games. Courtney was right. It broke my heart, then put it back together, only to break it all over again. And again. And again. I can't wait for the movie. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

{handmade treasures} raindrops on roses and ticky tocks and bunting
curated by me! I was pretty proud of what I came up with. I had The Sound of Music on my mind and decided to do an homage to the great Maria. Who knew that Etsy was just filled with Maria's favourite things? Well, now you do. PS I'm in love with the kitty cat ring (and yes, I know there aren't actually any whiskers on that kitten, but whatev)!

1. I've been putting my new shop together and one of my bags has already been added as someone's favourite!
2. I've also been working on a little present for my friend Amy and it's finished. I desperately want to show it off, but can't until it's in the hands of its rightful owner. It is awesome. ifidosaysomyself
3. I watched Capote last night, finally. What a great film. Philip Seymour Hoffman is da bomb (to bring back an accolade of old).
4. I've signed myself up for a very very fun sounding market, Playtime.
It's probably more of a one day festival than a market. Anyway. Keep your fingers crossed that it'll be a good day for babybandito! Even if it's not, a market/festival named after a Jacques Tati film and run by a French lady has got to be a good thing to steep yourself in for a day. It's next Sunday. You should totally come check it out.
5. Dhari still likes vegetables.

1. A kindly British Gas HomeCare engineer. What a rare, rare thing. He even wished me a "lovely day" and told me to "take care". !
2. Dhari only tried to hop in bed with us once last night! Easy win.
3. Embracing the WW2 era "Make Do and Mend" mentality
(not because it's Recession Chic, but because I actually really and truly don't have enough money to buy a new pair of jeans...maybe I shouldn't have bought the lace necklace? Naw, that was needed), and finding myself pretty successful in my efforts.
4. Crossing tasks off lists. ScribbleScribbleScribble
5. Bored to Death. I've never seen anything with Jason Schwartzman in it that wasn't completely AWESOME.

1. Discovering that giraffes still create awe and wonder for me.
2. Hearing Dhari say, "Hi zeebas!" to the zebras.
3. A kind lady helped me carry Dhari up the steps out of Regent's Park Station today.
4. This scene from Kick-Ass where Hit Girl steals the show.
5. Making up new traditions. For example, today at the London Zoo, Dhari and I checked out the African animals. His favourites, of course, were zebras and giraffes. So, before we left, we visited the gift shop and bought a little giraffe and a little zebra for him to play with. All the way home, Dhari chattered away about them, whilst playing with his new toys.
