Making a come back

Hello, yes it's me, I'm still here!

Gosh this has been difficult to do. I've been feeling like getting back to my poor little neglected blog for about a week or so but I seem to have had writers block, or should it be called 'bloggers block'? I feel like a do when I've had some time off work and you come back and feel totally out of it. Like everyone else is in a secret gang and you're not a part of it.

Anyway, today I decided to take the leap and start again.

And in a sense I am starting again. I've decided that I want to take the blog in one direction only and that is to share all things pretty and creative with you all. Not that I won't occasionally tell you what's going on in my life, but I feel the blog had become far too much about my personal life and not enough about my creativity which is why I started it in the first place. So with my website coming on extremely well(nearly ready to show you all!) and a new house and garden to develop, I shouldn't be short of material.

But for those of you that are curious, just a little catch up on life in general. In the last month I've moved from my little flat in Kew to a little house in Oxfordshire. To be more precise, the house of my lovely boyfriend Simon! I couldn't be more happy and content and still have to keep pinching myself to believe that my life has changed so much since the beginning of the year! Recent weeks have seen us take a lovely(and very romantic) trip to Paris and a very lovely weekend in Ieper in Belgium which is my new favourite place in the whole World.

So back to being creative again. My work space is not really up and running yet, but I did manage to carry out a commission for a lovely reader of my blog, Sally-Ann, who wanted a cushion for a friend to include the initials of the friend, her husband, and child. I was a little nervous about this one as she really left it in my hands as to how it would look and what fabrics I would use, but I was really pleased with the result and luckily so was her friend!

So the job this weekend is to get a lot more sorting done in the house and hopefully I'll be able to set up my little sewing area and then I can finish off the website. I'm also hoping to get out into the garden and I want to share that with you. I'll be back again next week so in the mean time, hope you all have a good rest of the week and it's sooo good to be back with you all again.
