Productive Sunday

I'm very pleased today that motivation has finally struck and I have been able to bring some order to my bedroom. I don't know if it's post-Christmas blues but I just haven't been able to bring myself to do anything since returning to work on Wednesday.



My room was still in that stage where it's tidy but in a piles in corners that still need to be organised, so onto the bed it all went and was finally stored away.



How do you ladies begin your tidying? I have to make my bed first and then pile everything on there, it stops me being able to stop and sit down and let's me start with a clean floor and means once the rooms



I think I was inspired to tidy today by Tracey at Notes from a Cottage Industry, her post about her Snow Day featured a photo of a lamp on top of a pile of books and it inspired me to do the same,



I love my Shabby Chic books by Rachel Ashwell and I prefer to have them on hand to browse through and this gives me the perfect opportunity to!



Even better once my tidying was done I was able to do some crafting. I had some photo's from my friends daughters birthday last month and when I saw the fairy cake topper sitting on the side at her home I knew I could do something with it. (sorry the photo is so dark!)




I shall be dropping it round to her one night this week, I hope she & her daughter like it!

Also if you haven't done so already please remember to leave a comment for my giveaway here. I know some of you haven't had marmite before so I thought I would give you some info on how I use it.

I enjoy it most spread on toast and for those of you that follow Weight Watchers I can tell you it has 0 points! Another popular treat is with cheese on toast, Starbucks even do a Cheese & Marmite panini in the UK now! And if you like an extra kick to your gravy add a spoonful!

I'm off now to prepare myself for my first week back at work... AAARRRGGHHH!

I love your little corner vignette. The lamp on the books is great style. I just found your blog tonight and wanted to stop by and say hello.
Happy new year.
