It's been a long time, and a lot has happened. Since the last post my OH decided that he no longer liked me and dumped me, I gained a job and lost a job, and have now settled into a routine of blissful freelance work. However, I have been dreaming of starting my own Etsy store. Gathering all my crafts into one place to decide what I am best at, and may be of interest to other people, as well as reading books about how to go about it. It is gathering momentum, and so hopefully early in 2012 I will be online.
The rest of the time I have been browsing my favourite thrift stores - and had some amazing finds, from lovely pashmina scarfs for £2, Armani Jeans for £6 and a hardly worn Jigsaw tweed jacket for £10. It's an odd experience being able to 'upgrade' your wardrobe from a thrift store, but when I was working FT I just didn't have the time to browse these places. It's easy to fall into the drudge of high-street shopping and buying the same as everyone else. How boring.
Really felt the chill yesterday with winds howling around the UK, so I decided to finally sew some thermal interlining into my bedroom curtains. What a difference - it instantly felt warmer up there! Another job off the list.
