I had no intention of pitting my wits against blogger's new interface so quickly, but when something as lovely as this arrives on your doorstep, procrastination is not an option.

(so far so good)

Beautiful Western Australia tea towel cushion, handmade by Lea

You wouldn't believe the knot I tied in my bloggy knickers, when I read they'd be changing their interface tout de suite' (I don't even know what an interface is, for God's sake! And that's no lie!) It took me almost two years just to get the hang of the old one, so I (ridiculously) thought my bloggy days were over.

(turns out it's a sinch and I'm just a drama queen. pitting my wits? seriously?) 

  

I'm calling it my homie cushion.

I was having such a crapity crap day too, until I found it

I'm all smiles now though...just call me Pollyanna. It's all rainbows and sunbeams from here on, and that's down to Lea's kindness.

Lovely cushions for us all, no more sore bottoms from sitting on bare Brentwoods. Speaking of bottoms, you should see the gorgeous mustard corduroy Lea used to back my cushion. Delicious.

So, the moral(s) of this story?

1. Don't get worked up and stressed out about things, until/if you really have to.

2. Crappy days can get better.

3. Kindness can never be over rated.

And I quote Glen Campbell here: "you got to try a little kindness, yes show a little kindness, just shine your light for everyone to see..."

I so remember getting down and rocking o.u.t. to this when I was a kid, about the same time I was a.k.a. Colleen...

4. Vintage tea towels make awesome cushions.

(as if you didn't already know that, right?)

Thanks Lea, your cushion really cheered me up x
