Tidied drawers in kitchen

Into my simplifying for January theme I tackled the drawers, sorting out the towel drawer and throwing anything that looked decidedly unhealthy! New tea towels were unearthed at the bottom of the drawer and new dishcloths found. (I had crocheted more than I've been using.)

The utensils drawer was tackled - it still looks like a junk drawer but now I know what's in there and the plastic bags have been tamed.

The cutlery drawer was washed out and the cutlery put back neatly - it won't last!

The tops were cleared of Christmas decorations, cake and bottles.

All is bare as is the garden in January but I'm sure I'll be seeing activity here soon.

PS Thank you so much for your kind comments on the last post. There is an emptiness around here but pusscat 1 is still around and receiving plenty of hugs and kisses. She's been following us around and sitting near.

Took down the decs

I took the decorations down in stages. First was the cards then anything related to Christmas, apart from the tree. So - 

baubles, garlands, stars, bells, holly, snowmen, Christmas arches and angels were all bagged up ready for next year. Christmas runners, tablecloths, plates and jugs were put back in cupboards.

The tree was left until 12th night, strings of lights and anything that signified Winter in any way. My theme for January is white and simple.

(Thinks - perhaps I should crochet a shades of white blanket for this time of year!)

My Autumn blanket is finished - must take a pic and there's a scarf in progress for next year made with bobbly wool from Liddle-iddle. (I couldn't walk by it and leave it now could I?)
