Have you seen Banana Frog ? If you haven't you should! It's a new British store that has been opened by the lovely Bev Fletcher and she has designed and produced some lush, lush stamps. They are gorgeous. Of course I need them all. But it's not only stamps she produces, she has some really unusual papers too. Some I've not seen in the UK before, actually not in Canada either! I particularly like this one by Sugar Lily.
Did another LO over the weekend. It was slow to finish as I realised that I didn't have any brown cotton for the sewing machine so had to nip out and get some. One good thing though is that I used the sewing machine I bought in Canada, plugged it in to a transformer and it worked. Result. The bad thing was the tension is all over the shop and you should see the back of the layout!
And finally, for this post anyway, Richard starts his new job today. I'm having mixed feelings about this. On the one hand it will be great to get back to some normalcy, some routine and structure to the day but on the other hand I will miss him. I've used to having him at home. It's been six months. And yes, he was working from home but I could just pop my head around the door and ask if he'd like a coffee or he'd make one for me or we'd just chat for a little bit. I'll miss that. I won't miss not being able to blast out the music while I'm doing the housework or knowing that if I don't do anything all day and just sit on the sofa I can't say to him "I've been so busy today, darling, I haven't stopped" because he knows I haven't! LOL!
This also feels like our final bit of the jigsaw in settling back in the UK. That link with work in Canada and Bermuda was still sort of holding us there, especially as he was expected to work Canadian hours some days. But it is the right thing to do, it's right for me and the children and right for Richard too. So good luck darling.
