The times they are a changing ...

Hello my lovelies, I can't believe it's almost the middle of April and I haven't done a post this month!

I have been poorly sick and not so well for a couple of weeks, but hopefully am coming out of it now, now that the Easter holidays are almost over and time to get back to normal!

I promise that I will get my blogging mojo back soon, but as the title of this post suggests, there are a few changes going on at the Thriftwood homestead! My firstborn, Olly, has flown the nest (only round the corner, so he can still bring his washing and come for tea!)

This means, ladies (and gentlemen, if there are any of you reading this) that I will soon have a workroom ... I won't have to get everything out, only to have to put it all away in the bulging cupboards when tea time beckons. No, a purpose made, workroom all of my own! There will be work surfaces, shelves, cupboards and prettiness abounding! Haha, I can't even sew! I am inspired to learn though, as it is in the genes ... don't you just love The Great British Sewing Bee?

This is the vision dancing around in my head ....

And this is the grim reality ...

Just a little peek ...

The bare bones ...

Lots of tlc required ...

A little bit of upcycling ...

Boring preparation, but I promise I'll keep you updated. I'm wondering whether this should feature in the room, what do you think? I'm glad I saved it, but I do only have one roll, so I'll have to be really careful ...

We've a busy weekend ahead, with Olly and his girlfriend visiting, Jacob and Jules coming for the weekend from Leeds (as long as it doesn't snow ... this usually happens!) and lots of family meals, hopefully there'll be a bit of cake eating at Violet's and carbooting going on too!

I'll catch up with you all soon, and until then, have a wonderful weekend, I have to go, as my freshly laid breakfast is beckoning ....

Love, Claire xxx
