Busy Sunday & goodies

 After months of waiting i finally got my room back so Sunday was spent putting it back together. I'd already started when i decided to take photo's.

This is what was left in the hallway after everything else was shoved into the room.

Some of the mess i was sorting through.

 i read about these shelving units on a fellow bloggers page so Saturday i went to get them.

Fabrics all packed away.

All clean & posters up.

Shelves filled & those hangings are now hung up.

This lovely little package arrived for me from Joanne. Aside from illustrations Jo makes beautiful jewellry

I shouted myself these cute cat earrings for my birthday. After buying scissor fobs from Tatyana recently  i asked her did she make fobs with cat charms & the answer was yes.
