In December, the lovely Mrs Goddard left the school I work in. She was one of those teachers that is naturally brilliant and managed to get the best out of every pupil. It was a real pleasure being her TA. This is a photo of the flowers she gave me on her last day. How clever of her to know they went with my Christmas plates which she has never seen!!

Some before photos of the craft room.

Happy New Year to you. Who has resolutions? I don't bother with them too much but 2010 will have to see a thinner me as I have become quite tubby over the Christmas holidays. Darling husband started his healthy eating yesterday but has already tried to con his way to an Ikea breakfast!!!

Before Christmas my craft room was dug out and Gary put a new work top in for me. It isn't quite sorted yet but I am slowly trying to find homes for everything. The wardrobe has gone but I still need some shelves put up. Pictures to follow.
