What Have I Started?!!!

I says to Mr Manic today....."do you think I could have some new tables for my workroom?"........"yes" says he......"when" says I....."tomorrow" says he. Tomorrow.....whoo I was thinking maybe two years if I was lucky. Anyway I have really started something now because with the ones I have chosen I have to get rid of some other furniture and have a shift around. That's what I have been doing tonight and I have come to the conclusion that I am an untidy, disorganised madam....gawd you should see the mess I've made. I have managed to make myself a corner for diecutting with an old desk and a bookshelf for the dies and the computer is now living on my old worktable instead of the scruffy old thing it was on and that's about it. To get from one side of the room to the other I have to go on tippy toes to avoid squashing anything.
DD and I are off to Ikea in the morning to fetch the tables and hopefully the fairies will have been in while I'm away and sorted it all out.....yes and I am the new Kate Moss........ha ha ha!!!
As you can guess this means nothing is getting made at the moment.....sorry.......but once the mess is tidied tomorrow afternoon it will be all systems go.
Thanks for your visit.

Odd Sunday!!!

Today has felt like such a weird day....nothing like a Sunday at all.
I think that is mostly because Mr Manic was at work from six 'til six and I am so used to him being here at home and the smell of Sunday lunch cooking rather than spaghetti bolognese which is what we had today. It was very nice but just not right.
Also my thoughts of having a full day upstairs didn't work out. By the time I had made the sauce for tea and washed up, cleaned out the fireplace and laid a new fire, dusted and hoovered the lounge, made DD's birthday cake and cards and wrapped her presents it was time for Mr M to arrive home and be fed and watered and then bath time. I won't get any time tomorrow either as I shall have to have a quick tidy round ready for the arrival of Miss Doodle and her Mummy who are coming to see DD and have lunch with us. I expect they will be here until after tea time too as DS doesn't finish work until late-ish. Whatever happened to all the free time I thought I would be having when I finished work?

So now I am having to take a rest as my back is playing up a little bit and I think I shall check out IPlayer for something to watch as I am not in the mood for a DVD.

Thanks for dropping by......hopefully soon there will be something for you to look at........lol!!!

Look What Grandma Did!!!

I don't know....Mummy delivers me to Grandma's house at 8:15am yesterday and by 9:00am I am in a right mess. Hopefully bathing in Weetabix will keep my skin looking beautiful....lol!!!

That photograph was taken with my new camera and is just as taken apart from the soft edges I added. I am so pleased with it.

Although I have been up in my workroom all day today I am afraid I have no finished projects as I have been doing prep work. I had a bag of one and a half inch squares of patterned paper from a Cosmo Cricket kit that I wanted to use up and have spent the day making up layers for the fronts of cards. With DD in bed all day and Mr Manic at work tomorrow I should have another full day of playing and get something made......once I have prepared a bolognese sauce for tea that is.

With all that goes on here now I have had to buy one of those family organiser calendars to keep track of us all so that's my job for this evening........filling it all in........oh joy.....lol!!!

Thanks for dropping by.

Sorry I've no cards to post tonight. I have had Miss Doodle all day and wonderful as she has been I was just a teensie bit shattered by the time she went home. I fell asleep in the bath and just missed the new year being rung in.........Mr Manic didn't think to come and give me a nudge.......the numpty. So here I am in the first hour of the new year looking like a flippin' prune and freezing cold too.

Anyhow......hope you all have a fabulous new year. I am looking forward to getting into a better routine with Ruby now (it's been somewhat hectic to say the least since the wedding) and having more time to craft.

Thanks for your visit.
