This week is looking like a real positive one. My web design resource book has finally been published and is looking pretty good. I should get a chance over the next week to get some feedback on it. The first run of Trouser Project shorts are due from production around Thursday which is freaking exciting. I am looking forward to seeing if they have turned out well or not. The next step will be trying to sell a few to fund the next run. I need some new shorts so the timing is good and am keen to get some trousers produced. The current asset search is a new sewing machine with embroidery capabilities. Now that I have the time and energy to experiment again I am keen to play with computer controlled embroidery and see what falls out. We are also looking at a small electric kiln for glass work so it’s all about craft these days.

The garden is in full Spring swing and with the recent rain, followed by sun has resulted in a lot of growth. The early potatoes are coming up and the little nursery we have on the kitchen table is almost ready to go out in the real world. Should be a good year for produce and we are getting better at using it every year. It’s all quietly coming together.

We have just ordered some french doors so close to starting the next stage of renovations. This one includes getting the doors in and removing internal walls to open up the front of the house. Getting quite exciting and should be a a lot simpler than the bathroom/toilet was. A bit more room to move as well. We are planning a demolition party to remove the plaster from the walls.
