Tiny note to say signing offline for a week or so - the end date of work redundancy is rushing up & the stress is utterly overwhelming (eye tick & stuttering levels), so just buckling down in basic survival mode to try powering through - catch up to all you lovely folk very soon!

🐌 Hurrah for Sunday Snailday & harsh storm weather has brought intermittent power cuts, so the wish for all good folks is to remember having light & warmth at the flick of a switch is such a glorious privilege, & to maybe see such sheltering basics as the wonders they truly are...

🎄 With everything being cold & miserable in storm weather with dark skies of heavy rain, decided to scamper off to the glitz of the garden centre for to seek inspiration in all the sparkles of the season! His Tiny Highness was most impressed with the fancily decorated trees...

🐾 His Tiny Highness is very much on the mend - lots of snuggling & fussing required obviously, but the silliest sausage is indeed getting back up to snuff one morsel of a snackerette at a time - thank you all so much for the care sent to this beloved little creature!

✨ A new project! This sweet sewing box was kindly rescued from a bonfire night burn pile for me, wafting of foist from the faded yellow velvet & someone obviously having sampled grey paints on the knackered veneer - perfect for a flower power makeover through the dreich days...
