It seems like absolutely ages since I have posted, I'm not sure I can remember what to do. I am not going to make any excuses, I just haven't done it. Maybe it is too late to wish you all a Happy new year but as the saying goes " better late than never". January seems to be flying past which I don't mind as it is my least favourite month.
I have been busy working, decorating a bedroom and en-suite, and making the cushion covers and curtains etc to complete the rooms. I really enjoyed it, the couple were a delight to work for and it is always lovely to see a room transform. They had chosen a fabric from the Cath Kidston range and I must say (not that Cath needs any promotion) the fabric was very pleasant to work with and hangs really well.
This job has spurred me into action now and this weekend I will be clearing out our lounge so that I can redecorate in there. At the moment it holds the "worst room of the house award"
I am never a great one for new years resolutions but I try to make one or two that could be achievable. I always feel I have room for improvement, so one resolution is to be nicer as a person, and the other is to seriously consider every opportunity that comes my way, before I say no to it. A wonderful opportunity to visit another country, has already been suggested by 2 people quite unexpectedly. Normally I would find a reason why not to do this, but I talked to Tim about it and in his usual positive manner said " go for it " so I am going to. I will put more details on here as the plan progresses.
This post is a bit all over the place, hopefully I will get back into the swing of things soon.



heh heh heh.... good job on the yesses...
