The days all merge into one...

This Half Term has been hard.  I don't know if it has been the bitterly cold weather that has stopped us venturing out to the park, or if the kids really really do actually want to kill each other; but I can't wait to get back to work for a bit.  Just a little bit mind, my day off, alone, will be wonderful!

So at some point this week, I am not sure which day, I caught up with the Lucky Stars - February - BOM.  I am going to carry on with the low volume-solids combo, and hope I don't run out before the end of the year...

They are starting to look good together already...

Today we did venture out for a little while in the snow flurries and ended up at The Range looking for outdoor boots for Cubs; no boots, yet I came away with a couple of cushion pads, some wooden stamps and washi tape; it's a good job we don't go there often.

I also started some top secret makes this afternoon, so I may be a little more vague than usual over weekend xxx

Lucky Stars are go...

I finally settled on texty, low volume neutrals mixed with solids.  I know.  Solids! 

FYI I have a love-hate relationship with solids; think I should love them, but really, mostly, I am a hater!!  Shocking, but true.

But I may have turned a corner...

These are my practise and January Lucky Star BOM blocks.  I have opted for the 6.5" rather than 12.5" blocks.  They are not perfect, but I am happy, and that's a promising start!

It also means I have been able to tick off everything that was on my January To Do list, including 2 of my 4 first quarter FAL goals, and I still have a whole day off left this month.  Go me!
