I won’t lie, I have really neglected my blogging so far this year. Work has been hectic, I was away for all but 8 days of February, and I haven’t had the chance (or the motivation) to sit and put together my This Week collages. So here is a mega post for the first 9 weeks of the year!
Week 1
 |
| 1st – 8th January |
From left to right: I finally finished my Christmas wreath (in January haha), blue skies, Happy New Year!, the first monthly colouring project for Lucha Club 2016, chilling in my new pyjamas from Kirsty, a close up of some of the details of my wreath, my lovely One Line A Day memory book journal has begun, the start of another day, and my first hotel trip of the year…
Week 2
 |
| 8th – 15th January |
From left to right: frosty windscreens, progress on my next blanket project, playing with colour splashes at work, time for colouring, how the finished blanket should look, my new yarn arrived, sad to hear that David Bowie had died, stitching away, and stuck in a 3hr traffic jam…
Week 3
 |
| 15th – 22nd January |
From left to right: more colouring progress, super cold mornings in Portsmouth, Bailey posing for a selfie, finally a really close promotion…work is only 15mins away this week, I love ice crystals, I came home to find ice on the drive that I had scraped from my windscreen this morning!, leaving icy love messages on Dave’s car, rainbow gradient colouring, and our new table lamp for the lounge!
Week 4

| 22nd – 29th January |
From left to right: funny salt and pepper shakers I found in Newbury, gorgeous flowers from Pat & Allan, making chocolate and hazelnut tarts, two blanket blocks finished, #tbt baby me, a very quiet day at work, prep for my Burn’s Night supper, tucking into my Balmoral Chicken (chicken stuffed with haggis and wrapped in bacon), and dinner was served!
Week 5

| 29th January – 5th February |
From left to right: travelling to Guernsey and this will be my view for the next 10hrs, pufferfish!, views across the coast in Guernsey, my new gloves were much needed, St Peter Port in the morning…, …and in the evening, wind and rain welcomes you to the Channel Islands, a gorgeous Red Clownfish at the Guernsey Aquarium, and the high street in St Peter Port.
Week 6

| 5th – 12th February |
From left to right: my ferry home was delayed for several hours due to bad weather, new dinosaur socks, so glad to see the coast of the Isle of Wight coming into view, a warm fire at my Grandparents house, new cat socks, so annoyed with a courier company for leaving my parcel in the bin, was woken at 2am by horrendous noises outside and discovered a badger trying to eat/claw through our back gate, pancake day, and good morning from a very cold Bridport.
