Remember I said I was going to get organised? I did tell you not to hold your breath.....
Our Dining room/my work room/my computer room/the place where most of my stuff gets dumped. The computer is behind me on the right...trust me it's there along with a huge bookcase, a cluttered bookcase. The Christmas tree will be gone tomorrow. Can you see the jar of jelly babies under the tree? I need to keep my hand out of there or they will be gone soon too. Our car visible through the window. My scruffy sofa...never actually used to sit on...just another place for me to put 'stuff'! I make my videos in here. I take my photographs in here. The big window gives fabulous light.....when it's not raining.
Loose design sheets, sketchbooks, a technical note file on the table where we eat EVERY evening. Also on the table my Christmas plant and a three tier cake stand that has sweets on it every Christmas for the children...yes those children, my grown up children.
Sketchbooks on the scruffy sofa.
Embroidery, in piles. Left pile my current ''gift for me' sitting on top of all the chocolates I received as Christmas gifts. I should get through those by July???? Nearest the camera....my wrapping cloth waiting to be finished and yes, I WILL get it finished...very soon actually. Also on the tale...my husbands record player, (they do still exist) and my sons baseball caps. He has so many...why? Also an antique sewing machine and MORE chocolate. I am not responsible for all this chocolate. I prefer the jelly babies. And then there is my veil/festooned thingy...heaven.
Finally, another room, the lounge, always tidy. A pile of books that I received as Christmas gifts next to the sofa. I browse, I flick pages.....
The dining room isn't always like this. It's just that I am getting ready for Alchemy, I am busy making videos and taking photographs. It will all be put away soon, it will be tidy. I never said organised. I said tidy.
