Time between Christmas and New Year seems to have speeded up, leaving me wondering whether I have enough to collate to create a week’s worth of photos. If you’re trying to blog more this year and looking for inspiration, be sure to visit Nat for plenty of ideas.

2. I rediscovered charity shops as a source of vintage sewing supplies.

7. Began to organise my sewing room with a new set of drawers from Ikea. Now just need to find a home for my fabric…

All being well, I’ll be back next week at the latest, with seven more snippets of my life. For everyone back at work on Monday, I wish you well! Have a great week.
