Happy Mother's Day! Unfortunately my poor Mum has a gastro bug - a yucky thing anyway let alone on Mother's Day - so we will be celebrating Mother's Day on another day. Another celebration I'll be celebrating at a later date is this blog's anniversary! Yes, one whole year has sped by and I haven't done half the things I intended to. But the blog has been motivating over the year anyway and it's been so lovely to meet you all in blogland! I didn't have a house a lot of the time over the past year but now our renovation is finally done I can tackle some of the things I've wanted to do. At the moment we're still unpacking the house stuff and doing heaps of cleaning...
We're off to Europe on Friday so we haven't had much time with the house but it will definately be nice to come home to a finished house (and no more boxes!!). So, with all the busy-ness of late, I have decided to celebrate blog birthday at 14 months rather than 12 - which will give me a bit of time to plan some fun so watch this space come July :)
And while I think of it, does anyone know of any bookshops in London that sell Japanese craft books? I've had a bit of a search on the internet but haven't really found anything - or do you know any places book or crafty-wise that I should visit in London or Europe? We are definately off to the V&A, Liberty and the Tate in London but any recommendations for France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Austria? I can't really take it in that we're going yet - I think it will hit home once we're sitting on the plane. I love flying, love the food, love the whole experience (albeit the sitting down for hours isn't that great - I think it's 14 hours to Dubai and another 10 or so to Heathrow!). I have been checking out plane seats on Seatguru.com which is very fun but can be quite stressful too as I suddenly become competitive and panic I'll be down the back of the plane near the lavatories or near screaming infants or with underseat storage where I can't stretch my legs... ah the dilemmas! I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to post before we leave but will have a go at posting overseas. Yeeha. Hurrah for holidays!
