front cover house

Hello friends,

Firstly I must say a humungous 'sorry' for not writing much these past few weeks - and when I do write something it's not even very interesting - so I am very VERY grateful that you even bother to visit this blog. Thank you - I will try much harder.

The reason I don't get to blog much at the mo is that

a) I seem to be a bit busy doing my 'proper' job (the job I get paid for, not sure what the 'job' is exactly but hey ho)

and b) the tiddlers are on holiday and there is too much fun to be had making aliens out of scrap paper and baking cupcakes (although it was me that made the alien - can you believe they didn't want to make scrap monsters after I had ruined my Country Living mag by cutting thousands, well dozens, of scary eyes, arms, spikes, hairy bodies and grizzly mouths? Ben was very impressed with my creation however, although he thought Min had made it so looked at me pityingly when I confessed. Oh and it was me that made the cakes because they were too bus eating the raw mixture and dipping licked fingers into the sprinkles).

And to try and prove that I do actually have a 'proper' job here is a front cover Border Oak house from Homebuilding and Renovating Magazine - out next week. I had forgotten about this house which I handed over to the magazine more than a year ago, but sometimes that happens I guess. There was also a Border Oak cottage in Country Homes and Interiors Sept issue (still in the shops) take a peek at the house on www.windfallcottage.com) - but I can't take credit for that article or website- I was too busy making gallons of pink icing........
