tiny happy

Hope you're having a love-filled February the 14th, even if you're not into the Valentine's thing. 

This pottery wall-vase was given to us by Tom's Mum- it's the perfect thing for outside the laundry, I think. And especially nice now there are some flowers in the garden to grace it.

My Valentine's celebrations will consist of a glass of wine and a movie with Tom later tonight. I made a new cushion for the family couch, from some William Morris-y linen, which is kind of romantic, in a way, I guess? Everyone likes to sit on the couch and read books.

I'll also make dinner for everyone when they get home. That thought reminds me of a love poem by Carol Ann Duffy. It starts:

Not a red rose or a satin heart.

I give you an onion.

It is a moon wrapped in brown paper…
