The fun began today when Mark, the decorator, began to paper our downstairs loo. This once dingy and boring room is now anything but! The room is very small, and despite the cramped conditions, Mark worked fast. He had soon completed papering the ceiling with the gorgeous dark blue wallpaper covered with silver…
I approached a painter and decorator in April after the new loo was installed, but he was unable to begin until now because he was so busy, and needed to take advantage of the good weather to complete outdoor work. This is how the loo has looked for the past three months. He…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? For once, there is actually some activity going on in my studio this week! I have been following a wonderful watercolour artist called CeeCee on Youtube recently, because I was attracted by her brilliant watercolour doodles. This was definitely something I wanted to try and I thought…
A foodie WOYWW post this week! My desk has been my kitchen. Cooking Here are some of the things I've cooked this week. I have been following Chef AJ on Youtube, the inventor of the Ultimate Weight Loss Program, who is a vegan chef who espouses the "SOS" diet - no salt, oil…
No further progress on the slippers this week, I'm afraid. It's been another busy week. On Saturday we went to the fete at the village where we used to live. We try to go every year. It's always a fun afternoon out, and also an opportunity to meet up with old friends again.…

Big surprise! Last week I received a phone call to say that my Trekinetic wheelchair would be arriving this week! I was super-excited, because they told me it would not be with us before the end of July. This means we have got the whole of the rest of the summer in which…
Today was such a lovely sunny day (about the first this summer!) that my hubby suggested we went out, and he drove us to Brixham, which is a fishing town in Torbay, not far from where we live. I had visited friends there, but had never been along the harbour before. It is…
Back in the studio again briefly, to make a special card for a special friend! This is how my desk looked on Monday afternoon. It was my friend's 60th birthday and she invited me and four other special friends for a girls' lunch at Bistrot Pierre in Torquay. I had never been there…
Today is a special friend's 60th birthday, and yesterday I finally got round to making her a card. Life has been so busy lately, and in between, I have been so fatigued that it has been hard to do anything much. Recycled materials Some time ago, my friend introduced me to "Who Gives…
