This is my nice organized corner with all my neatly folded fabric and wool
All my neatly arranged boxes and cupboard with all my bits and bobs in and of course a few of my lovely snuggly blankets
All my cds,books,folders and scrap books all on one shelf,my old room is getting a makeover next week and is being turned into a snug
Our village was covered in a thick frost this morning,its been so cold these last few days ,quite a shock to the system after such a mild winter up to now ,i bought these lovely bulbs to colour my windowsill this week which are just starting to flower
Ive also been busy building a facebook page for the buisness ,adding lots of my makes so if you would like to pop over and see it you can click on the link at the top of the page ,ide love to see you there ,well thats all for now ,im so thrilled with all my followers ,thankyou so much ,i could easily spend all day on my computer ,so many lovely blogs to read and look through,ive so many projects to start i just wish the days were longer,and i only needed 2 hours sleep then i think i may just fit everything in on a daily basis that i wanted to do ,much love ,francinexxxx

  9. Francine,
    Thank you so much. I am so excited! I will be sending you an email shortly. I love the makeover of the room. I am working every day trying to finish up my new room in the basement, and just the fact that it will be organized and I will be able to find things easily makes me so happy. I just can't focus in clutter, which is unfortunate because I usually make such a mess every time I dive into a new project!
    I also love the bulbs. I really think I may pick some up, but my craft rooms are in the basement so I don't have a lovely windowsill . . . . sigh.
    Hugs,
    Julie

  21. Hi Francine,

    Your room is SO cheerful and lovely! I recently discovered your blog and I'm completely enamored. Can't wait to read your older posts and completely immerse myself in all things Cath Kidston, crochet and patchwork. :)

    Take care,

  22. Hi Francine,
    I wanted to pop in to visit and let you know I did receive my package. As always, once I got to your blog I was lost in the pictures and almost forgot what I wanted to tell you. Honestly, I think I am going to make my own quilt like the one in the Cath Kidston shop. I love it.
    Anyhow, I was so excited when I opened my gift. I love the book and the hearts and the bag holder. Thank you so very much, I really appreciate it! They will all find a home in my sewing room!! Have a wonderful day my friend.
    Hugs,
    Julie
