A Head Full of Business...

My head has been full of business for the past few months, and has done me no good at all.

Happily I now have to work on knitwear designs.

Because I was never much good at doing what I am supposed to do, I have suddenly taken an interest in our blog; indeed in anything at all that does not involve knitwear or the design thereof.  Here are some pictures of my office, things that I stare at every day, and look at without noticing.

I gave up smoking 103 days ago and added a stone and a half to my body by eating my weight in chocolate every hour.

I have smoked 277,400 cigarettes in my life and in today's money that will have cost £97,090 the cost of a small house, several luxury holidays, quite a lot of cancer research, food for several families for a good long while...

If you dont mind I will write something on our blog once a week, a new regime which, like stopping smoking, I will stick to without fail (for at least two weeks).  Let me know if I am talking to myself and I will stop, let me know if I am not and I will continue.

Christina's Office - The Treehouse

Occasionally, I stop, stand back and look. I remove myself from the chaos of life and, camera in hand, look in from the outside. On one such occasion, I photographed my workspace.

Newly commandeered and filled with inspiration and works in progress it has become the home office space from heaven. With a beautiful view from each window, and sharing space with the old inhabitants (spiders, fat bumble bees and nesting birds and goodness knows what else) the tree house is actually balanced between three growing trees, and is so charming, I cannot for the life of me understand why it has taken so long to admit that it is a lovely working environment.

This is where Cabbages & Roses' winter collection is being imagined (a little late) but it just might be exquisite, given that it was imagined in paradise!!
