Congratulations, we made it!

Yes, we made it through another 365 days! They may not have all been easy days for you or for me, but nevertheless here we are, so I'd like to wish everybody peace and good health for 2015.

I don't tend to do new year resolutions, because they don't seem to last very long do they, but I thought i would try a different approach to it,

so my New Years resolution such as it is, is simply to

KEEP TRYING!!!

First today, I'm going to TRY and get my blog up and running again, it's been 6 months since I last posted so maybe a quick catch up on what's occurred since June.

Here we go then...

I've had a birthday, making me mid-forties! I did get a lovely cake from Heather and Len though....

Amber did the Race for Life.

 

Steve did the Bikeathon for Leukaemia.

 

The three of us did this... The Eagles, live!!!

I signed the lease for this...

And with a lot of help from many excellent friends, turned it into this...

 

Looks ok doesn't it.

 
A step to make life easier for the future I went from this....

To this!

Sadly we lost Milly Posh Paws to a yucky brain parasite,

Two months later old age took it's toll and Sam followed Milly up to the stars.

We do still have this precious old boy though...and he's doing ok!

And among it all I managed to make a bit of artwork here and there..I'll start showing you tomorrow, I promise.

Thanks for taking the time to pop in, enjoy your day whatever you're doing, I will be TRYING to make progress at home by painting the sheds.

    Happy New Year Maria. I have loved every minute of your workshops at Shrewsbury and am looking forward to many more too. I have made some lovely friends through the workshops too and I am pleased that you are one of them. Onwards and upwards Mrs and to pacing yourself rather than meeting yourself on the way back from somewhere. Lol. See you soon hunni. Xx

    Happy New Year. You have been busy.
    Love the new look, both of the new premises, and yourself. Lets hope someone has added some extra weeks into this year purely for crafting.
    Cheers
