Work is just too draining sometimes and I find
myself having to remind myself to be happy.
Solution?
Find some happy fabric....
and create a basket of happy....
It begins with a
simple alphabet....
with simple Aida....
and simple finishing....
for a wonderful start.

Thoughts of spring flowers....
they sneak into my basket too!
Whether at work or home.....
I am reminded to keep happy thoughts.

Easter is such a wonderful time to reflect
on how fortunate I am to have my faith,
family and friends. I hope you can enjoy
this time and have a wonderful week.
These are just beautiful in their simplicity. I love your idea. And yes, it' s always worth to have a reminder to be aware of the happy moments during the day.
