I enjoy flowers. I enjoy gardens.
I do not enjoy gardening nor do I have a green thumb.
But in spring pansies and forget-me-nots are a fast way to fake it.

I am not normally a prolific sewer but I have a sewing machine and can use it in a pinch. The pinch, as we all unfortunately know, is now and it is masks. I have been sewing for friends and family and myself. Then I took on the task of sewing masks for the local hospital and old age home and I had to follow a certain pattern. I won’t tell you how that went – but it took me a few days to do it without swearing (too much).
Anyway, I’ve come to rely again on the tools above.
And just to make this post a more cheerful one, here is some material I picked up today for – more masks, of course. Shops were closed for a few weeks and now they are open again (the smaller ones at least) provided they adhere to hygienic standards (social distancing, masks, not more than a certain amount of customers inside).

When our lightbulb in the guest toilet broke, I decided to change the whole fitting not just the bulb. And why not have some fun in this room?

Fun fact: In German, a lightbulb is not a bulb but a pear (Glühbirne).
Q: How many Germans does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: One. We are very efficient. And don’t have any humour.

Cee asked to Switch It Up for this week’s On the Hunt for Joy.
It’s what I am switching these days, I can’t help it.
Wouldn’t it be nice if your front door changed its colour according to your mood? To enhance your mood or if necessary, change your mood.

A Red Dress Run is the perfect way to colour code. You can wear any colour as long as it is red.
