How is it nearly Christmas?!?! We started the groundworks for the garage/studio literally 5 mins ago... it is terrifying how fast the last year has gone, oddly even though I know we have achieved a hell of a lot in 12 months it has felt like wadding through treacle at times.
We still have lots to do to get everything finished off, its all tantalisingly close but we keep having to stop and start due to work coming it, plus Richards poor back is only just holding it together so I hate to push him too hard but as he's the only real workforce for most of this we don't have much choice (poor baby!).
He made a start on my desk for the studio, we are waiting of a few parts coming in to finish it plus the small task of varnishing it so I don't end up riddled with splinters.

Yep I know the leg looks weird, this is temporary, we actually have some of the scaffold pieces which the builders left behind which I will use, Im just waiting on the fixings to arrive from good old eBay!
The best bit of working in the studio had been getting to play with the stove now the weather gone into proper winter! It smells amazing, unfortunately all the popping and creaking the flue makes scares the crap out of Stella so she refuses to come in anymore, just stands outside the doors meowing pitifully.

We took a break to get the house ready for Christmas last weekend, something we always enjoy! I love getting all our decorations out (they now have a HUGE box in the attic!) and thats just for the stuff that goes on the tree...
A few people have commented on our fake tree...yes it is plastic but out little Morso stove in the living room is perfectly capable of cooking a living tree to death within two weeks! Which is both depressing to watch and annoying with the amount of needles which they shed in their death throws! So fake is much better for our little cottage.
In between all this I have found some time to get a few new lino prints cut which are now available on my shop...
...and finally get my new tattoo to commemorate Rich and I having been together 18 years this year, which was how old I was when we started dating! I don't feel old enough for this to be the case but I am very proud of how far we've come together and this little life we've built for the two of us.
Looking forward to what 2018 will bring for me and this guy x
