Nice to see you...............

I'm back!  Yes, I know you thought I had disappeared, never to be seen again but I am back and delighted to be back with a vengeance.  The kitchen renovations are finally finished and my new life in my house has started and I am over the moon.  I apologise to everyone who has faithfully popped back here, waiting to find out what is happening in our lives but the whole building project turned out to be much bigger than I first anticipated and so at one point I felt like crawling into a hole and never coming out again.  Thanks goodness I didn't, otherwise I would not be able to enjoy the new kitchen/family room and we would not be chilling and relaxing in our fab new space.

 This is the first photo of the area where I think most of the chilling will be done.  I still need to make a wall hanging but I have plans and the more eagle-eyed will have noticed that my sewing basket is already in place!

Here's a view of the working part of the kitchen.  Yes I do expect to cook and the boys are living in hopes that efforts in that direction will be considerably better than recently!  I have a table and chairs on order so the fetching white plastic number is on a limited stay (Shame!) but it serves a purpose and we shall appreciate a proper table when it comes.

And finally - hoping that I'm not being too boring, this is the dresser which contains all sorts of interesting bits and pieces but most importantly, my sewing projects etc etc.

I am desperate to get going again with my crafting.  I have a  class in Bath this weekend when I am hoping to get a Christmas Tree skirt made and I have also got some cushions and a quilt on the go.  I have almost had the DTs from withdrawal from crafting so can't wait to get back to it. 

The following weekend is a Scrapping Weekend with dear friends.  I just can't wait.  It looks like life is getting back to normal.  Halleluijah!
