Finishing touches

I am love love loving the new lounge. It is light and bright and empty of clutter and I love it.

Today we headed off to Southampton to IKEA to return cushions we didn't want and to buy some storage boxes. I cannot believe that the lounge looks so much emptier and tidier and yet I have 6 big kallax fabric baskets which I can use for wool (yes I do have a very very bad yarn habit.)

We also bought a bit of tech for the lights which MAY mean we can dim them. Not convinced as there were no staff that seemed to understand it all.

 

So I think for now we are done.

We had a lovely drive back through the forest and then a late lunch. What a lovely day.

I have a little bit of new scrapping to share

 

 

 

 

and I have some new art work to share

 

 

Today I am thankful for

• a lounge I am loving
• a lovely day out
• a bit of sunshine
• newly done nails  - I had my nails totally wrecked by radiotherapy etc and it was upsetting me so much. I was always known for having lovely long strong natural nails and they started to peel and  no matter what I tried I couldnt resolve it. So I started going to a wonderful girl who has sorted them out. They are very much my own nails - I have never wanted to go down the acryllic route - but she puts a protective gel on which has enabled the bad bits of my own nails to grown out and she commented yesterday how strong and healthy they are. I have never ever been a 'pampering' girl. I hate having my hair fiddles with, I don't like massages and pedicures etc but I am loving having my nails done and think I will continue. They are still quite short and natural coloured but I am a happy lady.

Hahahaha! You just named all the things I love—getting my hair done, pedicures, and massages. I don’t care to have my fingernails done.
But, yes, you do have beautiful nails. It must be from the good sea air. :-)
I love the painting of the cats looking out to the lighthouse. So serene.
