HERE BUT FAR
I’m here, I’m alive. Sorry to just disappear, I have been detoxing and de-cluttering our home, selling things at a local flea market organised by Rose, (which I hope we will have again). I am working most days at the moment, a new job keeping my husband and friends distribution company’s website up to date [...]
STAY STILL
All calm at home now. well, apart from two cats free running off all the walls and furniture. No challenges this month, I am going to rejoin fat mum slim’s Photo a day challenge in April, so I can concentrate on restocking my Etsy shop and new posts here without any self inflicted deadlines hanging [...]

A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING FANCY
So as you know I collect and keep magazine pages by the bundle, and thought I would actually try out some of the things from the pages that I keep. My first trial is Fairy bread, usually seen served at children’s parties in New Zealand and Australia. It was featured in the last issue of Oh [...]
JANUARY PAPERWORK
The first ten days of operation, paper control are complete. A sad day last Friday when three years worth of World of Interiors magazines were butchered and the remains fed into the huge paper recycling bin at the tip. But with all my favourite pages saved and a some space freed up on our shelves, [...]

CINDER ROSE
Tuesday continued . . . . . I found a few last pink blooms on my walk to pick up some paints, hardy little mites battling against the wintery seaside breeze, barely staying still long enough for me to catch on camera, I will be sad when these last flashes of colour are gone and [...]

Hello you, how have you been?
