It Finally Got Me!

It's a very long time since I've had a cold, and I've been fighting one for the past couple of weeks.

But today, IT won!  Everything from the neck up is firey, snotty & muffled!

So as the boss of the company (!!) I'm giving myself my first sick day!  I can still curl up on the sofa with my laptop though, which means catching up on wonderful admin (groan!).

One little ray of sunshine that came my way was my return bundle of Vintage Fat Quarters, from the UK & Ireland Vintage Sheets FQ Swap:

Vintage Sheets FQ Swap Jan13

I love all of these!!!  Especially the brown ones!  I know, I know, some of you have just swallowed your tonsils in horror!  (mine feel like golf balls today so no chance of swallowing them!) But I love vintage brown and would love to make a quilt in these nostalgic tones one day!

A big thank you goes to Mary for organising this swap and being such an efficient Mama!

And because I'm in the mood to delay doing any work at all today, I'll leave you with some pics from our recently refurbed bathroom (not a straightforward refurb at all, but I do love the end results!).

Just realised I should have put the toilet seat down before photographing!! LOL!! At least it was clean!!
It was so lovely to have a long soak in the bath with a good book, after 6 years of not having one! Bliss!

And after our Roman Blind Workshop on Saturday, I'm thinking that bare window needs a bit of dressing!

Have a great day!
