We're Not Dead...

...yes we are still here, it has been a very weird few months since Christmas, 6 weeks of which I spent convinced I was going to die from this horrendous flu which everyone seems to have had so basically I did nothing at all except lie on the sofa while Rich bought me hot beverages and listened to me moan. My fav Christmas present of the year pretty much sums up the beginning of the year...

I can't tell you how happy this little cross-stitch makes me, as soon as we finish the studio it will hang by my desk to inspire me on a daily basis! If you interested in other work by this very talent lovely lady please check out her Etsy shop.

So not much has happend with the studio, although we did manage to get the curtains hung, we used copper pipes as the curtain poles which look fab (totally doing that again as its the same price as buying boring wooden ones!)

I need to turn the curtains up at the bottom but we love this original 60s fabric, it goes great with the other 60s off cut I got for the cushions for our chairs.

In chicken related news sadly our little grey Bluebell Wigwig dies a few weeks ago, frankly she never has been a particularly healthy chicken so it wasn't a total surprised (she's the one Richard picked...) so we decide to get our remaining lone chicken Homer some new friends.

We got a grey and white Speckledy we are calling Quatt and a ginger and black Black Rock called Hengoed (Henny), carrying on the weird tradition of naming our chickens after obscure Shropshire villages.

Homer hates them both...hopefully she's soften up eventually!

Rich has found some time in-between looking after me, to get the workshop/garage more sorted. We've been collecting vintage signs to goes with his 70s car obsession. He managed to get his work bench set up and finally all the car bits and pieces that have had to live in our very small cottage for the last 6 years can move out to the workshop where they can be properly used.

This is his new happy place, Im so glad he finally has it after years of planning. Its exactly a year ago this month that we broke ground to build this space, the whole time we where struggling through it I kept thinking it would be totally worth it once we could had the workshop and studio up and running. Although its still not finished completely its been one of the best things we've done and means we can stay in the little house we love in our fav area of Bath. We are very lucky to have all this!

Sorry to hear you were unwell earlier on in the year.

The workshop looks great, I bet Rich enjoys spending time out there, especially now the weather is (hopefully) starting to improve.

Just love your curtains and the other fabric.
