Hi Everyone,
What a wonderful weekend! I accomplished so much! Here’s a taste:
- We had Joel’s parents and my niece Catriona over for dinner on Friday night (Daffodils in previous post bought in their honour)
- Joel and I went to IKEA on Saturday morning and bought me a new desk, a lamp for the sitting room and some storage boxes
- Then we went to the large shopping centre near us and bought our groceries (and a new waistcoat for Joel with the gift voucher his parents gave him for his birthday)
- I ironed, posed and took pictures of Mary Thompson and then blogged them (miracle of miracles!)
- I pulled the books off the four bookcases in my study / sewing room and rearranged the room to make space for the desk (yes, it fits!!)
- I built the desk (with a little assistance at the end from Joel).
- We did all the washing (5 loads)
- I baked a cake (yum)
- I stitched a little on the Purple mystery spot sampler
- Started watching Battlestar Galactica all over again from Season one (while I stitched)
Whew! Good thing I have this morning off to recover before I start work today (I’m on a late shift at the Library).
Here’s a snap of my new desk (creative clutter already in place!!)
Till next time, friends.

Love your new workspace!! Sounds like you had a great weekend

Congratulations Cathy on your fabulous weekend. I know what it feels like to accomplish such a lot, but it’s been a VERY long time!
Also congrats on the finish. I look forward to seeing it in real life.

Hi Cathy, I meant to comment on Mary. She is just gorgeous. Are you bringing her to show and tell on Saturday? I love your desk area. You look so organised. We’ll have to have a GTG at your place one day so we can see all your stuff.
