It was Don’s first day back at work today after the Christmas break. I still have another 5 (including the weekend) glorious days remaining.

Over the break, we’ve been doing a heap of small maintenance and improvement tasks around ThePalace(OfLove) – this will hopefully keep it standing for a while longer and also make for a pleasant 2023. No longer looking at an unpainted window frame is more exciting than you’d suppose!

There are more tasks I could crack on with tomorrow (indeed, there are enough tasks to keep me occupied for the next 6 years), but I think it’s time to kick off some creative projects.

I’ve gridded some aida for my next cross stitch (the wave ball), but I hope to have a mix of crafts on the go at once to keep the brain challenged.

I’ll report back.
