oh yes indeedy, 'tis grand to be back in Our Shed. after a month or so on the road, nothing is quite as lovely as coming home to a shed full of critters and my favorite knick knacks. it will be a very thrilling month of August. i am trying to think if there has ever been a month of August to match up to this thrillingness. nope, i do not think so. therefore i will call this 'my most thrilling month of August to date'... ah yes, thrilling stuff indeed.
and why is August such a thrilling month you may wonder? (you also may not, and quite honestly that is perfectly okay with me) well the majority of the thrillingness is down to knowing Janine has made August 'pre launch book month' for my book, which as i tippity type this very ramble, is at the printers! i am positively giddy by this news and even more so that Janine will be posting over on her spiffy blog all week long about 'this and that' to do with the book. it is quite a thing to see how Janine took my pennings, my ramblings, my images and my thoughts and through her brilliant design skills the book i had inside of my head for so long has come to life. not to mention all the hours which have been put in by lovely mighty fine 'helper bees', cutting threads, vintage fabrics and doilies to accompany the book and inspire the reader to allow their creative soul to shine.
tomorrow i will be back with my 'postcards in retrospect', yes i am one of those pants kind of folks who go away, write their postcards whilst away and then come home and post them. anyhow the upside of my 'pants way' means i get to title it 'postcards in retrospect' which i really really like, and so this has made me happy.
so a little recap i think is in order, if not for you, certainly for me, for my little blogging cogs are tres dusty and i am slowly finding my feet again.
things to be happy about today,
happiness number one is here
happiness number two is here
happiness number three is 'postcards in retrospect'
happiness number four is a little furry friend
lordy how i missed my little critters and of course you dear readers, i hope life has been a little spiffy, a little dandy and indeed a little crafty for you, whilst i was on the road
she is licking her first stamp and will be posting 'postcard number one' tomorrow ~ Tif

You know how dogs sometimes sit at the window and look out longingly, waiting for the special human to return? I felt that way while you were gone. I kept checking in on the blog bookmark thinking, "Isn't she back yet? Sigh." Wag, wag, wag...you're home! Waiting now for tales from across the pond, and book.
Well, I stumbled upon your site while surfing the net. I fell in love with your site the minute I saw the doxie in the pictures!!!!
I just have to follow your site now.
What fun stuff you have....
How lovely to have you back! Missed ya!!
Rachel
Welcome back! I look forward to your postcards.
Come to my blog for my giveaway!
((hugs)), Teresa :-)
So good to have you back!! Love the "postcards in retrospect" idea. When I go on holiday, I write a postcard and post it home, so when I get home, it's there waiting with the stamp of that country/place.
Congrats on your book, cannot wait to have a copy!!
Yay, yay, yay, I thought you had moved back home!!!!! But at least you had the weather on your side. Just spent a beautiful week in the lake district, your kinda place gal!!! Cannot wait for the book and I am chomping at the bit!!!!! I have also been crafty whilst on the road!!!! So thanks to you!!! Anyway keep those ramblings a rolling!!!! Keep Safe Allie Jane

You were missed! Your pom making inspired me to join all of mine into a rug and my tippy toes are enjoying its softiness. I'm thinking my little Westie Violet needs a pom rug of her own too. :) I ordered your book today and can't wait to get soak in the lovely pages.
thank you kindly for all the pre-orders! you are a peachy lot... Janine is positively beaming today by the response :)
Welcome back to the shed and to blogging! I hope you had a fantastic time. :)

SOOO glad you're back, especially since I found you just as you were taking off on your summer adventure. I've been waiting anxiously for your return, much like your critters, I'm sure!
It is nice to see blogs like this. I mean well decorated and posted nicely. Thank you Dottie Angel...
thank you kindly for the welcome homes!
I rarely write to you, but regularly visit your blog. And kind of miss your lovely piece for the past month. Nice to have you back.
SO SO GLAD you are home....I have missed you! I HAVE TO KNOW what that wonderful fabric is and what it is on...a couch, a chair....oh my to die for...please do tell.
RaeJean
thankyou!
the fabric is from an old pair of sanderson curtains my soul sister Debbie picked up whilst we were in London. due to one being damaged i made her four cushion covers for her lounge and then begged and pleaded for the remains! the fabric you see has now been stitched into a quilt which i will show at some point :)
