Our Christmas decorations came down yesterday and everywhere had a good deep clean, The place seems a little bare but so much lighter without the Christmas clutter.
While I was still in the cleaning mood I cleaned the oven, tidied the panty and the larder unit and cleaned out the fridge this morning, it feels good to get things back in order again.
I've been busy making a list of things to get done around the house over the coming year too.
We've made a start on something that we kept putting off last year first, painting the kitchen. Mark has sanded everything down and is going to paint the ceiling tomorrow and I will carry on with the walls when he is back at work next week, I'm happy to do decorating at a slower pace these days, it still gets done but without burning ourselves out in the process.
No other plans really, I don't set New Year resolutions although it would be nice to find my stitching mojo at some point, I lost it earlier in the year but I daresay it will come back of it's own accord when it's ready. I have got my eye on a couple patterns I would like to knit and like many people I'm going to try and use what I have rather than add to the stash, I did pretty good on that last year so I'm hopping I can carry that on in 2026.
I'd like to wish all those who follow or read my blog a Happy New Year.
I hope 2026 brings you health and happiness along with many reasons to smile and be thankful.
We are looking forward to some exciting things in 2026, I just know it's going to be a very happy year.
