There's always more to it than you first thought

When I first saw my door hanging I thought I just needed to add a border and maybe do a bit of embroidery. Now I've had a good look there are lots of little bits which need doing. (See my latest post on my Restoration Project page for more details).

I got a sense of deja vu in a different context this week when I decided to tidy my craft room. I began by sorting the boxes of textile stash but then needed to move some books so I could fit them on a shelf. But then where could my books go? I ended up by having piles of books in about three different rooms and the question of whether I needed to buy more bookcases.

Then it entered my head that the dining room would make a good library (I never use it to eat in) but the decor was looking a little tired.........

So a simple plan to tidy has now mushroomed into decorating and refurnishing half the house!!

Maybe I should have left things as they were.
