Surprise...surprise...

Hi folks...surprise...surprise and believe me no-one was more surprised than moi...3 Fiskars projects in the bag...
and wait for it...3 step-by-step instructions done and dusted...
not that it was entirely plain sailing...it was a bit of a "dragged kicking and screaming" to the keyboard kind of experience with the accompaniment of much Moaning Minnie gnashing of teeth but it's one of those jobs that once you've started it's never as bad as you think and after all these years of doing step-by-step instructions why haven't I got my head around that thought...probably because...in my book...it's right at the top of the least loved jobs list...way up there with the other "you either like doing it or you don't" job in my life....IRONING which just so happens to be on today's list. It's desperate times when you find yourself in that old familiar "more clothes in the ironing basket than in the wardrobe" situation again.
But I'm struggling to deal with certain parts of New Year's Resolution Numero Uno...not the early to bed bit...we were tucked up and sound asleep before 11pm last night...up at silly o'clock with the birdies and off for our morning stroll long before the rest of the street had stirred.  The bit that's not going so well is...ignoring all the goodies in the fridge...all that tempting yummy cheese...left over ham and meat loaf...now I know how The Furry Boy felt on his strict "weight loss" diet.
But I have one feather in my New Year Resolution cap...so far I have resisted the temptation of all the "crafty sale" e-mails bombarding my Inbox...crikey am I running a temperature...am I coming down with something or will 2015 be the year that I finally manage to keep the New Year's Resolution that all us crafty "can't resist a bargain" folks struggle with...only time will tell.
See you all tomorrow
