January Begins

Hello, and welcome to 'our small corner'. Beverley and D hope you have had an excellent first week of 2024, and we look forward to sharing our blog with all of you. Thank you for visiting.

*********************************************************

The page has turned, and a new year has begun. What will 2024 hold for us in this small corner? We will let January start to unfold and see where it takes us.

There are no specific resolutions here, but D and I will try to read more this year. I finished reading Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales' at the end of December for the first time. My younger self would have dismissed this book from any reading list, but now I find it enjoyable following the tales of a mixed group of individuals on their way to Canterbury. It painted a colourful picture of Medieval England.

A new year has also seen us in this small corner having major clear-outs in the house. Hubby is working on clearing the garage of years of collected bits and pieces that might be useful- no, they won't! At the same time, D and I have been attacking the bedrooms and bathroom. We are feeling very pleased, and the house is starting to breathe again.

The first non-Christmas project of the year has been to revamp a picture frame with a bit of decoupage.




The crochet yacht was one of the first things I made when I first learned to crochet; however, the frame was a quick fix that never quite seemed to work. Now, it feels complete.



The happiest news we have to share with you all this week is that this sweet little rogue, Toby, will leave his foster kitten parents to begin a new life in his forever home today. He is such a character and will quickly settle into his new place. Good luck, Toby. 






However, your year has started, D and I wish you a happy week ahead.
