Oh crumbs, it's nearly march!

Well, it's nearly been two months since my last post, only a little crafting has taken place due to the usual post-Christmas pressure at work (does this happen to all of us teachers or is it just our school?) and a very exciting decision which has mean a fair bit of sorting and paperwork reading ... we're buying our first house!
A big change from renting and a move away from Leicestershire which brings with it the need to find a new job (but not until this academic year is up - I'm going to have a long commute for the summer term!) but oh my it is lovely to plan and dream about our new home! Everything is going very smoothly with the purchase (a very short chain and a good credit rating seems to help), we are very close to signing and hoping to be in before Easter. A busy and exciting time indeed!

The crafting that did take place? Well it was varied, some rushed and some very slow and my first foray into dress making! It's not perfect but it fits well and I like it.


 
 

Two cards - one for my brother's belated (as usual!) birthday and another for the wedding of a dear friend that took place this weekend; a 'Princess and the Pea' set for school and of course my first dress.

Hopefully it won't be so long until my next post and not much longer until I'm crafting in our very own house.
