Welcome to the new year!

Loving all this crafty talk. I'm the queen of unfinished craft projects (mostly knitting) but, inspired by OMDB have signed up for a refresher sewing course at a local craft shop to try and get my sewing skills improved. So I'll keep an eye on craft blog hops and see if I can take part!

Fivehourssleep, tried to comment on your blog but it was playing up. Anyway, I wanted to recommend the book The Happiness Project, I just finished reading it today and it is fab, and so inspiring. Might be the pick-me-up you need.

Hi everyone. I have ranted about David Cameron and yet another way he is trying to make things harder for the little people: pint-sized-rants.blogspot.com/2012/01/david-cameron-reaches-out-to-daily-mail.html

I've posted a short fawn over review of the book that I mentioned earlier.

Obviously if I linked to it it would be helpful

Congrats on joining the network YCL - another interesting post from you. Have commented

I'm trying to forget I read this

Hallo!

I've been posting loads lately but as I've had a return to the straight historical posts that I started off with, I didn't know if anyone would be interested in reading them. Nonetheless, here's my latest few as I'm quite pleased with them.

The new upcoming exhibition at Hampton Court Palace.

The beautiful world of Madame de Pompadour.

Marie Antoinette's lioness - one of her favourite attendants who saved her life in October 1789.

I'm hurtling towards my millionth page view now and am a. panicking about the Victorian Prostitute themed striptease I promised Mme L and everyone else and b. trying to think of a suitably impressive giveaway to host.
