Furlough Furniture

Hello to anyone who still follows this blog, or has stumbled across it!  I hope you are keeping well in these strange times.

It's clearly a long time since I blogged (as someone who was brought up as a Roman Catholic, I almost want to say: Forgive me, Father, it is five years since my last confession blog).

In case you hadn't guessed, I am no longer self-employed and I rarely have time for handmade projects.  But times have changed, at least temporarily, and I'm now one of the millions in the UK who are furloughed.

This means I've been able to take advantage of what I can't help but see as a "gift of time".  It's recently been confirmed that my furlough is likely to extend until at least 31st July, meaning I have lots of time for more projects!

In the middle of a project

I'm currently in the middle of moving house (to a house we agreed the sale on in late October 2019!!!) and as well as sorting and packing stuff, I've taken this opportunity to upcycle some old furniture, that I was either already using or was stuck in my garage, awaiting just such an opportunity.  I am thoroughly enjoying myself!

I will be calling these projects my Furlough Furniture, and because some of my friends have been interested in what I am doing, I thought I would share on here too.

The first posts will be coming soon...
