Catching up

I know haven't posted for over a week. Last weekend was a busy one, juggling lots of activities, taking and picking up older son from work and younger son to and from a Lacrosse match as well as spending some time with my husband who returned from two weeks away in the States.

Then I had to work on Monday and on Tuesday I hurt my back. It is stiff and sore and all I did was bend down to get a tray out from a cupboard. I am very cross with myself, I don't suppose I could have helped it, but it is very annoying not being able to sit or move comfortably. Still today it is definitely getting better.

Back to last weekend and I got this,



Ginny and Alice's book. I went to Waterstones in Farnham where they were doing a book signing and met them both. I have been following Ginny's blog almost since she started blogging so it was great to meet her in person. She and Alice were very friendly and it was lovely to chat and to see some of their finished articles.

The book is full of ideas and inspiration. Although I used to sew and make clothes, recently the only time I've used my sewing machine is to make curtains. I have been flicking through the pages and have earmarked a couple of things to try.

Now though its time to try and do some housework without bending my back. I will be able to dust window sills and the mantelpiece but anything higher or lower will have to wait!
