Plans for the year and a new look

Happy New Year!

Better late than never eh? I hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year? We pretty much hibernated for the whole of the holidays, but had a nice family time. What did you all get up to?

So it’s a new year and finally a new look Violet Posy from me! I wasn’t as brave as Yvestown and wiped my whole archive, I’m too much of a digital hoarder for that! But I had a look at my Stats and I realised that most of you are coming in from iPads, tablets and phones so I’ve made over the site so it’s easier for you to read on mobile devices, whilst still *fingers crossed* looking good on computers too.

I love, love, love the little hydrangea in my logo. It came from the very talented Angie Makes as did the social buttons. I am a little bit obsessed with her cute images, I need the flower pots from her site too – just gorgeous! It’s quite nice when you spend your days making websites to be inspired by someone else’s art and not have to make everything yourself. Cheating I know but they were too cute not to resist.

What else has been going on? I’ve been drawing up a list of jobs to do this month, inspired by Apartment Therapy’s ‘Cure’ so here’s what’s on the list. I’m hoping that if I publicly shame myself then I won’t procrastinate and they’ll get done. Here they are in no particular order:

  • Book cull to charity
  • Old Clothes cull – I really don’t need/or fit into a Christmas party dress from 1998
  • Finish painting the hallway.
  • DVD’s….we have too many and their storage is taking over the dining room. Need to find a better solution.
  • Sort out the Office
  • Post Christmas Toy Clear out.

The book one is half done, I’ve had Mr VP sort out some old geeky Java books (poor Oxfam I’m sure they didn’t want them but I suppose they can sell them on?). I’m hoping a couple of half hours here and there over the next couple of weeks will take care of all these little jobs, rather me trying to ignore them.

Do you guys have some small jobs, around the house that you’ve been ignoring too? Would love to know I’m not the only one!
