Happy New Year...

 ...albeit a day late!  I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and here's to a fab 2024 for us all 😊


I don't usually go in for new year resolutions as I'm so crap at keeping them, but this year I'm going to try very much harder to blog regularly.  Mind you I couldn't really blog much less than I did last year, so hopefully I'll be a tad more successful in my endeavours!  I also have "good intentions" to be more creative, so I will be attempting A Make-A-Month again this year.  I've got crochet projects to finish plus a long list of new things I'd like to make, both crochet and other crafts.  And, of course, I have all those dolls' house projects waiting for me to get to them 😏

In particular, I really want to finish renovating Augusta Lodge in the next couple of months or so, not least because I will soon have the ideal space available in which to display it ~ more on that in due course 😉  I haven't touched it since the end of last August, mainly because I really got myself bogged down with the issues with the stairs.  Bottom line is I could easily have simply got rid of the bloody thing last year (not sure how I'd explain that to Lady Constance and Christopher, though!), or get on with what I actually decided to do: get stuck in and work through the issues.  Just to warn you in advance, though, be prepared for upcoming Augusta Lodge posts to be filled with whinging, grumbling and angst!

If you too have things you'd like to make, please do join in with me; I'd love to hear about what you are creating and wouldn't feel quite so lonely in my self-imposed crafting challenges 😊

For the next couple of weeks I don't expect to be blogging much, if at all, as I'll be a bit busy with some upcoming "family stuff".  However, I'll be back later this month bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.....well, perhaps not exactly bright-eyed and bushy-tailed but I'll be back nevertheless, and that's the main thing, eh 😉

  1. I'm so pleased to see a blog from you - I'd been worrying ! My New Year's resolution is DECLUTTERING. I'm in the middle of a health scare, and it made me realise there are corners of this house I wouldn't want the family to have to clear out for me. So, I will tackle one at a time, and sort them out. First up is my sewing area, which is full of stuff I'll never use again. So, I'm finding good homes for it, giving it away or binning it. Next is the chest of drawers in my bedroom, full of stuff I'll never wear again. I'll report my success, as you report yours - now that's a challenge!!

    1. Hi Virginia! I had quite a decluttering spree out in my craft room a few months back ( https://mycosyorkneyhome.blogspot.com/search/label/the%20craft%20room ), although it does still look somewhat untidy because I have yet to dispose of the stuff I weeded out LOL Oh well, I'll get there in my own good time!
