Retreat!

Now, I'm typing this from the very lofty and frankly very comfortable, high ground. This is a scheduled post, because me and The Colonial are currently enjoying the hospitality of the Isle of Wight Crop Circle's autumn retreat. We were meant to go on Friday to maximise our cropping time. Obviously work got in the way and by waving an extra £5 at the ferry company, I managed to change our crossing to early Saturday. All very interesting stuff I can you hear say, but really Julia, why's it worth the blog post?

Because dear interweb, I had to tidy up before I could get ready!!
My workroom floor shows very well how I prepare - I sit in front of my paper cupboard and match photos to paper, then move to another cupboard to decide on embellies and etc. But so many of my tools and stuff were buried on my desk that I decided the tidy up time would be a good investment. So - suck it up, make the most of it - it probably won't look like this on Wednesday! 'Probably' - do you like how I employ words that suggest hope?!

So, evenif I distract everyone at the crop by chatting and only manage one LO in the 2 days, what the hell, the IOW gals were the motivation for a minor miracle. And onthat basis alone, I'm having a great time!
