Hello my dears! :)
It's been a long time since the last post. I haven't been at my best in these past weeks and every night I ended up being so exhausted that I just fell into bed. There have been weeks with a lot of work, and weeks where I couldn't bring myself to pick up a bead or a hex nut because I was just so unmotivated...
But I've learned that you have to find the little things that make you happy to keep yourself going. Here are a few of my "happy-makers" of the past few weeks and days:

Cute "people-beads" turned earrings that came in the post today... Aren't they just so sweet and funny and instant-smile-inducing? Of course I have a female version of them:

Cutiieeeees! :) I love it when new beads come in the post (after waiting three eternal weeks for them)...

Strawberries sprinkled with sugar in my new pretty bowl that I got for my birthday.

More pretty bowls that double as jewellery storage since I find them all too lovely and cute to actually eat from them.... They should always be sitting there on top of the piano and make me happy. So they are. :) That's how easy it is :P

The very cutest little animal rings by katiwo who draws them herself. She is on holiday right now, but on the 22nd July she will be back and you will be able to purchase these super cute rings again... She also had a cat ring and the cutest bird earrings...
And last but not least there is the creepy taxidermied owl that I saw in a thrifting place and it scared me half to death and then I couldn't stop laughing because it reminded me of the taxidermy-obsessed Bloggess and her hilarious post about Juanita the weasel, so I just had to snap a picture (of terrible quality) of it....

So here's to the little things that make us smile. Let me know what makes you smile! :)
