I follow Octonation - where they explore, learn and be inspired by everything octopus. And a beautiful film, that I want to see on Netflix, just won an Emmy for Most Outstanding film. Put it on your list. It is making me cry just thinking about it. Fun fact: its beak (mouth) is the only hard thing in it's whole body, which means it can squeeze through anything that is larger than its beak. Its beak is a tool for cracking and drilling. - Your turn... - Make sure to comment on others. - Then think about how this information has made you life a little more wonderful.

Do you have a favourite season? I love the Spring..... the birds are singing and the flowers are coming out. The temperatures here are lovely during the day. Post some GIFs of your favorite season!

I just welcomed our newbies, but I thought it would be nice to mention a few that have been here for a while: @Christine Vabre brings warmth and optimism to every comment - it must be all that time with watercolours and paint brushes. @Debra Verrall generously shares decades of sewing mastery, not only here but in her skool sewing group as well (you will see that mastery on a pocket square later this year in a beautiful way!). @Annatjie Kunneke consistently shows up with gentle enthusiasm and a wish list! @Dinka Salvador brings curiosity and a little cosmic perspective to the conversation. @Caroline Stedman fills our feed with heart and the joy of the things she has made for her family - did you see her quilts for her grandsons? @Auli Takala connects us across continents - forever generous with her shares. First to "Welcome" the latest newbies - thank you! @June E Mackenzie shows us that there's always room to grow and learn something new. @Claire Amelia is passionate about the history of fashion and grounding her family in the beauty of the natural world. If you've been quietly reading along, this is your sign to jump into the comments and add your voice to the mix — we'd love to hear who means a lot to you right now.

The city I live in is getting sub-divided like no tomorrow. Where there was one house there are now 8, 16 more cars and 32 more people. Same amount of road. I feel for anyone that needs to commute everyday. It took an extra 45min this morning to get my son to school - a trip my husband normally does. I am going to get a coffee 😎.

We need to have a break from what we are doing. Get up, walk around, have a snack. I am loving these crunchy corn snacks at the moment - buttery with a little salt. How about you?
