Micro Joy: LABEL MAKERS

January 28, 2026 Karen

I saw a phrase over the weekend floating around Instagram: “Micro joys are how we survive macro grief.” And it’s the same idea as collecting wonderful things or that there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. So I humbly present a source of joy: the label maker my dad got me for Christmas.

The back of a label maker labeled "Karen's Label Maker" in gothic font

Two leftover containers labeled, "Alan's container" and "Mike's container"

Yes those first few labels were just me goofing around, but it’s really coming into its own as I re-do all the sewing storage in the new space:
Three clear organizers of sewing supplies, all neatly labeled
