a day in the life of a latvian mom

I decided to make a garland from all my straw flowers.

I’ve been collecting them from around the pool and bringing them inside to dry, and now I have a whole bunch of them sitting around waiting for a purpose.

So — a garland.

I want to hang it in the room and bring a little bit of the garden indoors. Something colourful to look at when the days get darker and everything outside slowly turns grey.

And honestly, I’m quite into this. I hope it will cheer me up.

This is what I need right now — just making something with my hands, using flowers I grew myself, and giving them another little life inside the house.

It might look silly, but that is all I can handle right now.

Silly. 🙂
