Friday Chat Day

Hello friends

Happy Friday to you and how has your week been? 

It has been full on hobby haven/cabin clearing/sorting this week
and I'm delighted with the progress.

I do love a basket as this picture definitely shows and

glad to say that some of these are actually empty.

Not sure for how long...I may use them for yarn!
(Note I'm not showing you the stock room area, that's
not picture worthy just yet!)

This area is for card, I've still kept a good supply of coloured card

and pretty paper.

And this is the area I am most pleased with.  A new desk and writing area.

My plan is to spend some time here doing some writing as a hobby, 

more details coming soon.

I purchased one of the Hobbycraft trolleys because I kept seeing them on

sale and couldn't resist.  Who doesn't love a bargain?

It remains empty because I just don't know what to put in it!  

Other news:  it was World Cardmaking Day last week and 

Scrapbook Adhesives featured a card that I made, the details are here.

I was really happy to be featured because this card marks my 

final project for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. 

I've chosen to step down from their design team after being with them 

since 2011.  I thought about it long and hard and decided I 

really wanted to make changes and dedicate my time differently.

I will miss them, they are the best team out there with the 

most lovely supportive friends.

Crochet progress - 

the poncho, right now looks more like a scarf!

I didn't get to do a great deal again this week as each evening

I've been heading off to bed earlier than normal.

I'm attributing it to vigorous cabin clearing and the colder nights. 

And talking of getting colder, this week's purchase that highly amused

the boys - furry clogs/crocs from Aldi! 

Do you have a pair of shoes permanently at the back door?

I do and for years they've been these plastic crocs/clogs and now 

I've found them fur lined for Winter, I'm thrilled! 

I can now nip out in the garden without my feet feeling frozen - 

it's the little things and for only £4.99 too

(available in other colours).

Bella time and this week sharing her makeover.

Before she looks like a Star Wars Wookie and after, a startled Meerkat!

  And my final nattering this week is dedicated to food.

Along with many changes happening right now,

I've chosen to stop eating meat.  Various reasons -

health, environment and because there are just some things

you cannot 'unsee'.  

I have to say I've found it far much easier than I thought. 

Nowadays there's a wealth of alternatives and this week when I 

went out for breakfast I was introduced to Linda McCartney's 

Vegetarian Sausages and you know what?  They are really good! 

Also very tasty are the Linda McCartney burgers with mozzarella.

I would like to tell you that I've lost tons of weight by cutting out meat

but that's just not true, oh well you can't have everything! 

Well my friends that wraps up my week.

I do hope you are all well and have a nice weekend planned.

Please join me next Friday for my chatter,

no idea what will be going on but it's bound to be random! 

Take care friends.
