Colour or White?

Gosh, I can't believe it's been a whole week since I last blogged, someone is deffo stealing the days from me!
We decided to decorate our Sons (19 years old) bedroom for him while he is away at uni. It's not a very big room and he had all the walls white before, with black curtains, bedding & bits & bobs.
Now do we just paint it all white again as he liked it that way, or are we brave and put some colour in there? I have put a match pot of deep red on one wall to see what it looks like but still can't decide. It looks bright red in the photo but it's more of a deep, claret red in real life. HELP I just don't know if it will close the room in too much as it's not a very light room. What do you recon ladies? I'm more temped to leave it all white at the moment as that's safer, but is safer better?If we add the colour, which wall do we put it on? Be great to hear what you lot think?
I think i'm getting worse at making decisions the older I get, I used to just bowl in and do stuff but not any more:(

No crafting done this week but maybe tomorrow:)

Slimming & Completed

Well first of all I've been very brave and returned to Slimming World after an 8 week, gap due to ill health and operation. I was sooooo scared and nearly didn't go as I knew I'd put loads of the 21Llbs back on, that I'd already lost. NOT SO, I'd gained 4Llbs which I was thrilled about as thought it would be at least 14Llbs!!!! What a releif to get that out of the way and get back on the right road, even if it is a pain. Mad eh? to be so pleased about putting 4Llbs on lol.

I've also completed an 8x8 DCWV, All Dressed Up Album and Papers that's been hanging around for................ well, months now. I've cheated really as the photos are all 8x6 so not much room to scrap, although i'm really pleased with it. It looks very different to my other albums but that is a good thing, right? I love finishing a project, feels great:)

Not been a great couple of days due to the pain in my shoulder and got physio again tomorrow so that will help..............not!
At least the snow has finally gone after a lot of rain so walking about will be easier now. We have had snow around since 17th December and although it's pretty it's been around far too long. The house still seem quiet after Will returning to uni but we will get used to it. I spent some time giving my craft room a good tidy up and will take some photos soon. I've also made a couple of cards just to stop me going stir crazy! I'm enjoying popping into your blogs too and picking up tips and gossip. Thanks for such pretty things to look at:)

LOVE

My daughter came home from town yesterday with a lovely present for me, she said it was to cheer me up after my operation. It's the word LOVE in red china letters, bless her. It looks great in the hall way and I was so touched that she thought to do it. She is still at school doing A levels so not earning much. Thanks sooo much Abi, you are a sweetie. It even made the visit to the physio not so bad :-)

I had a really good sort out in my craft room and finished an 8x8 album that's been laying around for ages, which feels good. I really want to complete all my unfinished projects this year so at least i've made a start. I found the following LO that a did a while ago but thought i'd share it as it's very fitting with our weather right now.

Cards to share

Well I got my bum into gear today and made some cards. The pain in my shoulder is still really bad and I have to face Physio again tomorrow so I needed something to take my mind off it.
Just had a play with Magnolia stamps,Prisma colours and scraps of paper. Maybe not the best ever but I enjoyed doing them. It seems odd being at home and doing things as and when I like as I'm used to working full time, quite nice in a way.

Physio

I had to go and have Physio on my shoulder today, after my operation last Thursday. Phew it was soooo painful, i knew it would be uncomfortable but boy I wasn't ready for that!!!!!
I guess it can only get better from here but it looks like it will be a long road. Other than that not much done today as the physio wiped me out. I hope to try making some cards tomorrow so I feel i'm doing something and not just sitting around and can then share some photos with you all.

A really big thank you to Linda for helping me to sort out the problem with my comments, great you sorted it for me so people can now leave comments if they want to. You are very kind linda

Son gone back to Uni

Well my lovely Son returned to his Uni in Exeter today:-( It already feels very odd without him, quiet but tidy lol. It's been lovely having him home for Christmas but it's gone really quickly, he was ready to go back though I think and that's the way it should be. He is having such a great time there, studying Economics & Econometrics. Well I think a bit of studying goes on inbetween the parties! A funny old day really, it really feels like Christmas is all over with now and the house is back to normal, if normal is a word you can use for this house.
The photo is of the kids at Christmas, just so you know who i've been talking about.

Thanks for the lovely ladies on UKS still trying to help me sort my blog, if anyone has any ideas why people can't leave comments still please let me know so I can sort it. Thanks:)
