...And I'm Back.

Happy New Year everyone and apologies for being absent for so long. However, I shall more than make up for it now with some delights to get your inspiration whirring.

Now, I don't make New Year's resolutions, but I do have a few things that have to be fitted in within the next few weeks. As most of you know, I have a degenerative spinal condition and unfortunately, it's degenerated a bit more! So, I am awaiting yet more surgery, which should be within the next couple of months. After that, I'll be out of action for ages, so this is my to-do list:

1. Make 14 table decorations for sister-in-laws wedding on Saturday.

2. Finish commissioned collage.

3. Visit the exhibition of Anselm Kiefer's work at The White Cube in London.






4. Knit Simon a jumper.

5. Get a load of small pieces done for sale in the art gallery.

6. Take Maud and Mabel to the Moscow City Ballet production of Swan Lake.

Oh and somehow get my house to look like this.

  1. Welcome back Jo, even if it's only for a short while before your surgery. How exciting to see the Anselm Kiefer exhibition! I would love to hear all about it once you've been. Enjoy Swan Lake too.

  3. So nice to see you back! I, of course, have canned my blog! Well, not literally - it's still up, but I'm doing everything via my FBk page now. Anyway - LOVE your inspiration boards here for your house! GORGEOUS! How's the art making going or have you gone into decorating full-time, .lol.?
