it's official


I LOVE my workshop!

it took me a couple of days to settle in and get used to having no distractions (tv, food, laundry, blogland, emails etc) but yesterday felt good.

I had my first crafty-visitor (my friend Kim) and I taught her how to make a paper pattern so she can make her own skirts...next week she'll be back so we can fit her toile and perhaps alter her pattern.

There are still a few DIY jobs for us to do but we're hoping to get them done this weekend, or next at the latest!

I'm back at the day job today, but will be straight to the workshop after work :-)
