I wasn't here reading it though... working hard on current bookbinding project and pretending blogs didn't exist - I tend to get sucked into "blogland" for hours and nothing gets done.<br /><br />Bookbinding... for me, that was the combined result of a recovering back injury and a large Renovation Project, to add another room over the kitchen. <br /><br />A very thought-provoking post, Sian and beautifully put, as always! Thanks for the thoughts and inspiration.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-38308371715700092082010-10-21T08:51:05.404+01:002010-10-21T08:51:05.404+01:00No heating, no running water and no bathroom inclu...No heating, no running water and no bathroom including toilet was particularly challenging but SOOO worth it when we see our beautiful house now!Liberty :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07956016654162678182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-60494785857937716372010-10-16T17:27:17.606+01:002010-10-16T17:27:17.606+01:00Loved your post today it really got me thinking......Loved your post today it really got me thinking......I need to tackle those windows!Tinkertaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03301191718283514492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-57174715582907630182010-10-16T16:26:00.185+01:002010-10-16T16:26:00.185+01:00loving your posts Sian... looking forward to seein...loving your posts Sian... looking forward to seeing you in class with Shimelle xxxfurrypighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00947203940702238872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-70371053230609083412010-10-16T16:13:47.194+01:002010-10-16T16:13:47.194+01:00Sian you're writing always inspires me!

A few years ago, I felt totally inspired and over a long four day Thanksgiving weekend, we redid our bedroom. No construction, but lots of clearing out, new paint, new drapes, new bed and bedding, new shelves. Best weekend project ever!<br />RindaMaria Ontiveroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00120998825608732473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-79604784786716337802010-10-15T02:48:15.201+01:002010-10-15T02:48:15.201+01:00This is a beautiful post, Sian.

I am usually reluctant to post anything that's personal, but I find that I truly enjoy reading personal stories on other blogs. And ironically, I did just post something a tad bit personal on my own blog, so your timing is impecable.<br /><br />And a little shout out to Amy for her endurance through an extensive renovation!!! xoDeb @ PaperTurtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957816023851249171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-77570995565927736022010-10-15T01:43:04.405+01:002010-10-15T01:43:04.405+01:00The Renovation Club is a secret club - just like t...The Renovation Club is a secret club - just like the Mother's Club where everyone omits to tell you of the utter and absolute pain it can involve!
