Sorry for being a bit flaky recently. To explain, we’re in the midst of moving house, it was my birthday this week and we’re just about to host a big World Cup party.
If you didn’t know, England are about to take on the US in both nations’ opening game. I won’t bore you with footy talk, I’ll just share our pre-party decorating effort.
I’ve expelled nervous energy by hanging miles of bunting, multiple flags, a photo montage (with Karen’s help!) and an interesting (hope you’ll agree) hat sculpture!
I wanted to post before kick-off, in case it goes horribly wrong, which is quite possible. Oh, don’t panic, I don’t plan on posting a blow-by-blow account of the tournament!
Of course, with our US connections, we do want them to do well…just not against us! So, here’s hoping we both have a good game and progress to the next stage… 
First off, let me say that I really love your blog and your products. If I had more money, I would purchase things from your Billie or George Collection. I’d love it for our baby that’s due in January!
Second, I love your decorations. Too cute and very simple!
Three, I was rooting for England.
I’m ok with saying that. They’re a really good team. And Rooney…. delightful!
Love the hat sculpture and bunting – much more attractive than the lone flag I flew!
Hope you all had a great time – I felt so sorry for Rob Green, but at least the score was even, and no-one lost!!x
@Meredith thanks for stopping by! I’m pleased you like our decorations and obviously very glad you like Billie and George too!
You know, thinking about it, I’m okay with a draw. Like I said, I hope we both go through. I can see you are genuinely into it too – just checked your blog! Fingers crossed for the 18th!
@Jenny Had a good time despite the result but, as I said, on reflection a draw was okay. Too early to form conclusions and we usually get off to a slow start anyway
Right, football talk over. I promise some more O&L news soon!
