Category: Welcome to my world.

I’m taking a forced break from painting as the stair and landing carpet is being fitted. I managed to get two window frames done this morning. Both in rooms away from the main work. I managed to get the house tidy enough for our two lots of paying guests at the weekend, including the dining […]

I am coming to the end of an intense period of decorating. We’ve had all our original 1920’s windows replaced with double glazing; no more rattly, draughty windows. But the dust and dirt gets everywhere! So I’ve been cleaning like mad and then decorating. I did my craft room back in February, before the windows […]

Not a lot on my desk at present – just money! I was chatting on Monday to a lady from church that runs her own business and she asked if I was able to make some birthday cards that she could send to her customers. I said I’d love to. She phoned up today to […]

So, today, hubby and I went to a car boot sale, a table-top sale, and several charity shops. We had a ball! I love having a mooch around a charity shop. Today my haul included a Lloyd Loom chair, curtains, and some decorative tins. The chair is currently that pink that was so popular with […]

It’s not so much a case of ‘what’s on my workdesk’, more a case of ‘I have a new workdesk’!! I’ve finally finished decorating, hubby’s put the carpet down, and I’ve got my new worktop in the room. Computer’s up and running; now it’s time to bring everything back in…. The little unit with orange […]

My craft room is coming along nicely. Painting’s finished, and hubby and I (well, mostly hubby) put the underlay and carpet down this afternoon. The carpet was from Freecycle a couple of years ago and has been used in one of our spare bedrooms. That room has had an en suite fitted and we’re getting […]

I’m sure it’s because I’m getting older; decorating seems to take much longer than anticipated these days. I seem to have been doing decorating of some sort for months now, although I believe it’s only been about 3 weeks. I had to leave my craft room after I finally got all the wallpaper off as […]

A friend of mine that blogs regularly does a ‘What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday’ (WOYWW). I was all set to do this on Wednesday just gone but my wireless keyboard wasn’t working. We’ve got the builders in at the moment and on Monday we had a slight problem with water coming through my craft room […]

Hopefully, if I can get my head around the instructions, I’m taking part in my first ever Blog Hop! The theme is Sale-a-Bration so I’ve done something using the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and Punch Bundle and the FREE Botanical Butterfly DSP. The first set of cards just use the stamp set and ink pads. […]

It was my birthday last Monday. I had a couple of letters to post. So far, so good. I put my shoes on to go out for a stroll along the prom and post the letters. Ping! My back went! Needless to say, nothing much got done this week. By Wednesday I was able to […]
