Decorating
So, I've had one day off since getting my essays in and it's time to get back to the decorating. I think we've spent so long living with bare plaster that we've stopped noticing it! Anyway, the hall is to become my study so I need to get going on with this before the next lot of essays.

Essays!
These essays are really killing me this time! One more full day to get them done before they get sent off whatever state they're in.

Gooseberries
My hands have been shredded picking these little blighters, but I had to get them before the birds did! I did leave a few for the birds though.

Testing
OK I know I should be working, but I'm just testing my blogging by Blackberry.

Just a short gap then!!!
Good grief, has it really been that long since I last blogged?! Well, I feel like blogging again, so I think it's time for a revamp.
So much has happened since the last time I blogged that I hardly know where to start. One thing that I see hasn't changed, from looking back at my old posts, is that I have essays due in and time's running out.
So, essays first, then blog redesign, then update :)
See you later.

Size Matters!
It really is a bad sign when you spend a fortnight trying to decide what size Christmas Journal you're going to do, but this is what I've been doing. I didn't want to go down the 8x8 route as I did last year as it seemed, well, too square to be honest! A4 seemed a good alternative, but seeing as I haven't scrapped in eons, maybe a bit ambitious. So then, A5? Half the size, half the time surely. Hmmmm, too small maybe. So I went to my trusty trimmer and cut out different sizes to see how they looked (too much time on my hands maybe!). Anyway, said trimmer has 8x10 highlighted on it- radical!!! But, it looks nice, right size- not too big, not too small, not too square. So this is what I'm going for. Now maybe I can move on to more important things (though I very much doubt I will).

It's That Time Again!
Yes, it's almost time for the 'Journal Your Christmas' to start again, so I thought that it was also time to ressurect my blog. It makes it so much easier to upload photos, and gives me the kick I need to actually create the journal pages in the first place. No pictures yet, but I'll get a photo of the Chrissy stash ready and waiting to be used (I just need to find my wide angled lens to get it all in! ;) )

Bad, bad, bad blogger!
Yes, it's been ages since I blogged, but the reason is an extremely slow internet connection that is driving me to distraction! I waited 2 minutes for my blog to fully load, before I gave up and decided just to post. So you will be seeing stuff on my blog that I can't!!!!
Moan over, I have been doing stuff. I made a bag out of some scraps of fabric I've had lying around. It's padded and great for carrying my 12x12 papers to crops- I can even get my whole Scrapagogo kit in it- box and all.

I've knitted a very long scarf, which is great because it wraps round my neck so many times that even when it's freezing outside, I'm too warm :o) It's done in Rowan Cocoon, which is a mix of 80% merino wool and 20% kid mohair- lovely to knit with, but a bit expensive.

I've also knitted one fingerless glove (I promise to get round to the other one!), made half a mini book, done a few layouts, bought the Barcelona skirt pattern on this site to make as soon as I can get material (great site by the way- with fast delivery).
I did a very simple stamped and water coloured card for my Mam for Mother's Day, and got cards off the children for myself and Peter Kay's autograph for me from Fifi.

I also want to make some special things in the next couple of weeks which I'll have to keep a secret- mean aren't I ;o)
So, is that OK for you Mrs Nwti? :o)
