One Thing to Do in 2010

Fabric can evoke a multitude of thoughts and emotions in me. When I noticed this vintage one in my petit coin atelier today, it slowed me in my tracks and reminded me to:
:-: Stop and smell the roses. :-:

No matter how many things may land on my To Do list or how many petits détails might fill my mind. And that's a pretty nice way to start the new year.

Les tissus peuvent évoquer beaucoup de pensées et d'émotions en moi. Aujourd'hui, quand j'ai vu ce tissu ancien dans mon petit coin atelier, cela m'a rappelé :
:-: de m'arrêter pour humer le parfum des roses,
de prendre le temps de vivre. :-:

Peu importe les 2 010 choses qui se trouvent sur ma To Do list ou les milliers de petits détails qui m'occupent l'esprit. Et c'est une façon bien agréable de commencer l'année.

  1. Slowing down and truly enjoying the moment has been a big focus for me this year. That fabric is gorgeous.

  2. I too need to constantly remind myself to slow down, stop and simply enjoy the moment. At times it seems easier said than done. Life with a young family is so precious. The lesson for me is to 'relax' with the idea that all my jobs don't need to be done TODAY!

  3. That is some very pretty fabric. Stopping to smell the roses is my favorite thing to do. Now, if only my REAL roses were blooming right now that would make me extremely HAPPY! May I, please, ask what your first name is?

  8. Hi Shannon! I hope you don't think I was being too nosy. It's just that when I comment I would rather call you by your name rather than Petits! Have I told you before? I LOVE your very pretty and sweetly feminine blog. Your delicate handiwork is just lovely.
