My desk is a tip

I've done quite a lot of cooking and sewing in the lead up to Christmas as most of the gifts I was giving were home-made. This has left my desk a huge mess.

So my project for the next couple of days is to get it sorted out and cleaned up. Maybe get round to the filing while I'm at it! Then I can get on with some sewing.

New Year, new start!

Going to try and keep up with my blog a little better this year. I wonder how well I will do.

Just testing

I've had to change my email address and then discovered that I didn't know my password for this blog. I've been so bad about posting to it that it didn't really affect me until I wanted to check out all the blogs that I read.

Hopefully it's all sorted now.

I made bread

This is the most beautiful loaf. It makes me want to hack all the crusts off and gobble them down slathered in butter. Instead I will be good and let it cool and wait until breakfast time.

My poor laptop

It's pretty old and has been starting to show signs of coming to the end of it's life. The main problem has been wide bands of the screen that are either dead or permanently on the wrong colour, leading to an interesting stripy pattern which makes your eyes hurt if you watch too much TV on it. Friday though it flickered and wibbled and then over half the screen died, leaving me with about 4 inches on the left hand side that worked. My MIL has been a sweetie and is using her laptop instead of her desk-top computer so that I can borrow her screen. It's kind of awkward but at least I can access the internet.

I have new mousies

Actually I have 5 new mousies but out of all the photos I took, these were the only ones that weren't just a blur!

My youngest son decided to build an igloo for his Club Penguin figurines using the ice cube tray as a mold. It worked fantastically well and he had a great afternoon playing with them.



He's normally a total computer addict and it was nice to see him voluntarily playing outside with toys.
