Tra la la...

Oh hi there!  Who me?  I've been here all along, didn't you notice?  I'm not one of those crap bloggers, who pops in every 6 months and promises to blog more often, oh no, not me! 

Ok that's enough...I'm giving up mentioning how long it's been since I was here last, apparently the more I talk about it the less I blog...it's been a whirlwind few months, so much has happened that I should have shared here but somehow I just wasn't in a blogging place.  Never mind, here's a quick catch up...

We got married (I drank a LOT of prosecco!)

 
I got a studio (here it is in the middle of a tidy-up!)

We went to Barcelona...it was brilliant!

I continued to be obsessed with vintage fabric (well that wasn't going to change was it?)

There, that's all the important stuff...to be honest although I haven't been here I feel like I keep in touch with a lot of you via Instagram and my Facebook page, but I do miss being here too.  At the risk of jinxing myself, I'm going to say I'll be back soon...I'm planning some big changes and an exciting announcement, so I really will see you again soon, I promise!

a blank piece of paper...

Woohoo it's 2014! Um, excuse me while I hide under the duvet for a few days, before I emerge full of mild trepidation and good intentions...like my lovely friend Modflowers, I find the turning of the year to be a double edged sword...exciting but scary, like staring at a blank piece of paper waiting for inspiration to strike.

It is easy to start the new year feeling under pressure, to be better, thinner, tidier, more organised, harder working...these are all things that I could do with working on, but I'm a natural rebel...as soon as I see a 'should', I start running the other way!  So for now I'm going to potter on as usual, and avoid any attempts at big changes...I don't want to sabotage those good intentions by piling on the pressure. 

So I'm just going to look the other way while I say this...(whisper) I do want to blog more, so I'll be back soon!  If anyone's still reading after my long absence, thank you, you're lovely...and if nobody is, ah well, that's my fault...I'll be back soon anyway, cause I've missed blogland.  I hope you've all had lots of fun over the festive season.
