Day before work...

Today began with the realisation that it was the last chance to have a lie in for a while. Of course I was up nice and early to celebrate this news, and I'm quite pleased I did.

After a morning taking down the tree (boo) and generally tidying the house up, I had the option of doing some studying or finding something fun to do. I managed to spend my afternoon catching up on True Blood episodes that I had stored on the sky box (and we're now at 28% free...this is apparently great news, but not as good as it'll be when the movies we have on there are deleted) and being a bit crafty in the new year. I had a scrap of fabric and found this tutorial, dug out my sewing machine and I was away!! I did away with the zipper, as it did seem complicated for a novice like myself (and Anglian Fashion Fabrics was shut for the bank holiday, and I didn't really fancy venturing any further afield), but I am quite pleased with how it all came out. None of our doors are particularly susceptible to being blown about, but I figure it'll be a good stop to keep a door open for our new arrival, or maybe keep her out...although I will be surprised if a kilo of rice keeps her at bay.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my creativity with you before heading to bed and the Buzzcocks, as I want to be fresh for a long and exciting day tomorrow - back to work, followed by collecting Pepper!!! All very exciting.
