Why I should Win A Prize for the Most Awful Blog Post Title

Well,
just see the title above or you could skip back through eighteen months, give or take, of awesome awful blog titles. In which I veer madly between what I think sounds classy and a bit Nigela (when food related!) and the insanely rhymed. Not that I'm worried, the thing is it's my blog to wreck havoc upon the internet and unsuspecting browsers such as yourselves pretty much as I please.

So, no pics or decor updates, I haven't even had time to rejig image sizes on the last post! I am however planning a massive blog post title using many capital letters, rhymed and spreading across over three lines of text!

Till Then :)

Make about 50 multi coloured mini pompoms ;).
Decoupage and paint 5 large storage boxes and magazine boxes (similar to those in the attached pics but 3 times bigger!!).
Build then paint and wax a desk and shelving in office nook.
Make an origami cushion.
Everything still going on! I'm getting to it a bit at a time.
Baby steps!
In the meantime here are some pics of a couple of completed little jobs :).
I upstyled my curtain poles filials and rings which were plain white, from Argos Value range using the decoupage technique, patterns come from napkins bought from ebay. Using this cheap and versatile method I also started upstyling my existing storage boxes from bland to bold.
Take care.
