do us "creative folk" blog about our everyday happenings because our "real life" friends don't appreciate the beauty?
a perfectly made bed and a fresh loaf of sourdough
would anyone else find it as lovely?

Love your blog. I know exactly what you mean. But I also know I don't always find the smaller, overlooked things in life always fabulous either, perhaps that is a result of our fast paced life. However there are certain times with being in the moment that you go, "Wow, life is great" and I completely grasp it. For me this might be hanging up a load of washing and at that point everything is perfect; blue sky, bird flying overhead or perhaps even singing and then I get a whiff of my clean white sheets.
So yes, I can understand the beauty and wonderfulness in the humble sour dough bread and freshly made bed.

I have had many appreciative souls be quite affected and resposive to this love of beauty in my spaces over the years - noting the specialness of things...but blogging is a surer way to get a response from like minded types.
family seem to get sick of one's capacity to be enthralled by a wonderful loaf of bread and perfect gardenia...

@Vintage by LOU LOU - thank you for your kindness and I just love your comment. I you have captured what I have been thinking lately. Those moments in life, that are so plain, but so beautiful. I think it is nice to share. But I still wonder, what is better, the moment or the memory?
@Natalie I also agree, I like to blog because what I love is that I have two years worth of random thoughts and things that I sometimes glance over when I need a reminder of how far I have come! Thanks for the sweet comment!
@Sophie Munns - thank you for your thoughtful response. I must say, I do have family come over and make comment on the little things, these things that I speak of, ones that gush over a nicely wrapped present, and others that care about the things that I might blog or read about. Then there are others, who I might make some homemade cookies for and tie them up pretty with string and a sweet little handmade card who will scoff down the cookies and throw away the packaging without even a blink of an eye. It is these things that I wish I had blogged about, so at least I could have remember the original thought and beauty. But now am I just going to far?? hahaha
Thank you everyone for your lovely comments. I love to read peoples thoughts and opinions!

But I would have to say the not going out thing is a big one, and it makes you appreciate the time you do have in your home even if it does mean working till 2am!
