I have some news....you may call it an excuse but I am going to call it news....
I have set up a new Interior Design Business!
I have a new business partner and we started trading at the beginning of January, and da da daaaaaa..........we have won our first contract!
We install 2 show homes in March, we are so excited we have been busy ordering furniture, fabric, wallpaper and fabby accessories.
I used to love designing show homes, I miss it so much, it feels like such a long time ago, think I need to get my confidence a little but when I presented to the client, my passion took over and in the words of hubby I was on fire!!!
Here is our new Logo


And we have a fab new business card

The black is all black with a white chandelier.....

So this is why I have a reason...or an excuse......to why my craft room has not quite gone to plan, here are some progress pictures...I really loved sorting out the paper, I used the clear plastic trays put them into 4 colour families and put 2 colours per tray, I love the Stampin Up colour families, they have been put together so perfectly, sorting them out just confirmed my love for all the Stampin Up crafty goodies....I have added some Ikea baskets to my punch rails and have donated a load of ribbon to allow room for my S.U. ribbons, I couldn't get rid of all my non SU ribbons but it was a start....

I have 2 new tables and have made up 12 stools for round the table!! so Ive still got plans!!
I will still fit my Stampin addiction into my life and I still have bag orders coming in.
here are a few pic ...

Sorry Ive not been around,
I have been soooo busy and have soooo much to update, I will get round to it....promise...
Ive been to Paris to the fabby Stampin Up convention (lost the memory card) and seem to have not had a minite to spare!

I love Interior Design and have been out of it for a while but I have some exciting news to share with you very very soon....

One thing that has been keeping me from my blog is this little one...

This is Lady C she is such a complex little one, I often stare at her to try to see what is really going on in there....she is so mixed up, so anxious, so angry......its not fair for a little girl to feel the way she does....wish I could help more....

love her to bits...but its so very very hard.....
