Today I have woken up in a clean and tidy mood! Be afraid...... Today, I have decided, is a perfect day to get the house 'sorted out'. Its all wet outside and the children are quite tired from the new years party and family day so a stay at home day it is to be. Ben is about to get a long list of things that need to be done (including putting up the many mirrors that need to go up around the house). Sadly I think the Christmas tree must come down today. We are all back to work and the children back to school in a couple of days and after that time will be limited. Our tree looked fabulous this year, chosen by Samuel and decorated by us all. The cranberry and popcorn garlands are now looking quite sad (what is left after Mum's dog decided he was hungry!) It is time to say goodbye.
I went on eBay last night and found two most beautiful French sheets. One is a pink stripe and the other a blue stripe. I'm going to make them into tablecloths (I thought they would be perfect for, girl and boy birthday party's). They both come with two pillow cases which I'm thinking might be able to make into bunting, to go on the dresser. I'm quite excited to see what they look like, and if they don't look right they can go on the bed :-) Ben would say I have enough tablecloths! They are fast becoming quite a collection, too many to fit in the dresser and have taken over from my shoe obsession. I'm trying to get one for every occasion.
Must go now and clean my house from top to bottom and try and get it back to normal!
