Relocation....relocation...relocation

Morning folks......I won't keep you is suspense any longer.....yes it's true the cubbyhole is relocating to the dining room...and it was hubby's idea...makes sense really...we never use it and it would give me lots more space and it gets lots of light....OK I can see the logic behind it but I am still a bit betwixt and between...I love my little cubbyhole....have become quite attached and I can watch my little birdie friends just outside while I craft away....my little haven of peace and tranquility where I can shut out the world and play.
But the downside is the dining room has to be cleared first and boy oh boy you wouldn't believe the stuff I have collected over the years....the why on earth did I ever buy that stuff feeling.....all the souvenirs from holidays....bags and bags of material scraps....wool....LP's from the year dot....you name it I've got it.   Made a start yesterday and was I ruthless...a real declutter session....lots of bags taken to the skip...but I now have loads of stuff to take to the Car Boot Sale and the proceeds...if there are any.....that is if anybody wants to buy my old tat.....will be going to the Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign.
I received an e-mail from Michele asking me to help spread the word about the Craft Against Cancer raffle she is organizing on behalf of the Royal Marsden Cancer campaign.....click HERE to find out more.....
The cure rate for childhood cancers is only 75% but wouldn’t it be brilliant if it was 100%?... so come on all you crafters out there....let's spread the word and do anything we can to help the Royal Marsden achieve their goal.
Once the clear out is finished....it will be on to the decorating and then hubby can begin building me some units and then.....oh dear....the bit I am absolutely dreading the moving of all the crafty stash...maybe need to have a major declutter in that department too.....but will keep you posted on how it is all coming along or not as the case may be.
And I must apologise if I haven't visited you recently....although my computer seems to be working OK again....and that is the strangest thing...it went from being on its last legs to young and sprightly again....maybe it heard me saying it was ready for the bin...but just when I think I am back in the swing.....what is all this "Internet Explorer cannot open this website.....operation aborted" nonsense or when I try to leave a comment....."could not be processed....try again"....I just gave up last night and went off to bed early with a good book.   I've definitely learned my lesson after losing all my contacts' addresses and telephone numbers.....it's pen and paper for me from now....I knew that M&S address book I got a few Christmases ago would come in handy and this sums it up.....

Well time for our morning stroll....it's a gorgeous morning after a rather stormy and wet night.....then back to do a bit more clearing out.....maybe next week the decorating can begin.....yes I will be donning my painting and decorating hat once more and "The Budster" has just given out a big sigh.....yes no doubt he will be splattered in paint.....but not half as much as his Mum.....will be back later with a challenge card......Hugs Kath xxxxxx
