I'm back!

Oops, I seem to have disappeared for a while there. Not only did our new internet connection at the new house get messed up by our provider (but we kind of expected that), the problems I've been having with my back, hips and pelvis have unfortunately become a lot worse in the last couple of weeks. So much so that I've been signed off work for the next month, as well as having had to take it easy for the last two weeks when I was supposed to be on holiday.

This also means I can't do anything too crafty, not just on my doctor's orders, but also because it is bloomin' sore and affecting my concentration, as well as frustrating. The worst thing is not being able to bend over, I'm a very clumsy person and always dropping things. I'm not sure what is worse, having to wait until my husband gets home from work to pick up a dropped needle or pair of scissors, or the indignity of having to ask! But I'm in good spirits and able to blog briefly so I'll try to be a bit more disciplined about keeping up to date over the next month or so - it's very easy to fall into bad habits if you lose the hang of things for a while.

I'm going to try and take lots of photos of the new house, including the craft room as it comes together, and if I manage to get out and about, some of the local scenery - for example the lovely Ochils which you can just see from our back garden.
