Well how is all in blogland today, seems like everyone has snow, apart from me, there is freezing fog outside and my college was cancelled today. It is very very cold but again tonight I'm snuggled at the fire with my cup of tea :) This evening I started a new cross stitch pattern which is progressing very very slowly. Then I  looked through lots of my magazine for interiors for my inspiration booklet. If you have a home interiors book of your own full of inspiration I'd love if you'd share it with us on your blog, let me know if you have :) I then started my card making, here are some photos of them, they look a wee bit amateurish but it was my first attempt. It is so simple ain't it and cheap too by recycling all the old cards. Sorry the photographs aren't great.

Suki is indoors all day keeping warm here she is half asleep on the arm cover of the chair. She is generally not allowed on the chair, bold kitty!!! She never opens her eyes for photos either!

I still haven't started the card making yet, hopefully by tomorrow evening I'll have got a chance to start it. This evening I took down the Christmas tree and the decorations and tidied up the living room and kitchen. The rooms look so neat and tidy now. I do love the Christmas decorations and tree but after so long I get fed up with them. I cut up all the nice pictures of the Christmas cards we got and I will use them to make new ones next year to give to friends and family members. I didn't have much time for crafting although I did get my wall hanging finished. Alot of you were asking me how my sewing is going with the new machine. I have started with making two wee hearts which I need to fill and maybe put some lavendar in. They are very basic looking and one doesn't really look like a heart it's a slightly weird shape :) I will take a photograph of them and show them to you to see what you think (and you will have to be honest). After all as Oscar Wilde would say experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes :) I need to get material though as all I have are old scraps of clothes which aren't very practical to use. I might try and get some old sample curtain material from a lady that makes and sells curtains. Here is a photograph of my completed wall hanging which I have just completed this evening.

I have a list of projects to do which include;

• Continue with my Bird ID Booklet
• Keep practicing my sewing on the new machine
• Make my first homemade card tomorrow
• Start a new cross stitch pattern of a lady
• Start my home interiors ideas scrap book
• Start rearch for some of my college assessments.

What crafty or creative stuff have you got planned?
