Life certainly gives you a good kicking every now and then doesn't it. My mum is in hospital at the moment with a suspected broken pelvis. How quickly everything can change - my daily routine for one. Poor ma is on bed rest while docs decide what to do with her. My sister is being brilliant and we WILL cope.

Space - the final frontier

Last weekend I had a massive clearout of the front bedroom, which henceforth shall be known as "My Studio". I now have a large (6' x 2'6") heavyweight worktable as well as my dinky pine desk and each day after work I have done a bit more clearing and sorting. Al's away this weekend so I shall really put some time and effort into the room. I shall take a photo and post it on the blog. I keep saying to myself - I deserve this!

New coursework blog

As this blog has taken on it's own character I have set up a new blog to post my C&G coursework on. It's www.annebraveydistantstitch.blogspot.com - doesn't actually trip off the tongue but I think it says it all. Nothing actually on it yet - but will start soon.
