Glorious weather and a new scrap room/art studio

It has been glorious here. I love it when it is bright and sunny but I am already not loving the heat. I really don't like being hot and especially as we have been so busy refurbing the worst room in the house.

My scrap room had 30 years of stash in it. I cleared out boxes and boxes of stuff which felt really good. We then moved everything out, decorated, had new carpet and then built lovely new cupboards. Everything is now behind doors so is cat safe and looks oh so much better. It is a bright, well organised, clutter free space I am just going to love creating in. One side is all scrapping and the other is all art. (Oh and Nigel has a desk on the other side of the room and has some lovely new display cases for his models.

Today I am thankful for

  • breakfast in the sunshine with friends
  • a beautiful calm new room
  • sorting the next DIY project - the last we hope
  • Sitting in the garden
  • A very productive check up with the eye consultant

 

I am NOT thankful for the way Typepad is behaving
