tiny happy

Hand-sewn in quiet moments lately: a few botanical badges. These feature poppies, tansy and chamomile flowers. I love working in miniature like this.

The zinnias were bought by Tom at Next Stop Earth in Newtown. Aren't those colours amazing? Faded pinks and reds, almost tinged with lime green. They've been cheering me up from their windowsill spot all week.

A favourite new song to listen to through the headphones (perfect for walking through wintry streets): Goldmine by Kimbra. The video is beautiful too – stop motion animation + shadows + gold leaf.
