linen roses

the famous pompom flowers seen everywhere in blogland made me wish to create! an I did it!! adding a bit of personality and change I decided to make my baby's birthday a bit more special by adding these ornaments trough the house. I looked around and found few paper ones for sale - but they all looked so flimsy. so I purchased yards of linen, sprayed it with rose essential oil, and made the most wonderful fabric flowers around!

pleasure nap

to take a nap. the simple act of shutting down. a powerful and healthy habit.
scientists have found that naps make us more alert and more creative,
improve our mood, and increase our productivity. on recent article, author

I am far away from indulging myself into such a treat. lately I've been trying to
find time to sleep at night. what about you? are you a napper?
