12 for 2012 is a scaled down version of Book Group Cathy's 40 books, craft projects, new experiences and new places in celebration of her 40th birthday. What an act to follow! This year I'm aiming for a more modest 12 books, 12 craft projects and 12 experiences over the coming year. Loud was the scoffing when, having rejected Edinburgh Zoo's pandas, we proposed a visit to IKEA on 6th January. Undaunted we enjoyed a 9.30am cooked breakfast for under £6, including drinks, purchased new wardrobe handles for Shona's stylishly repainted bedroom and survived Eilidh's failed attempts to switch off the cooker hood in one of the show kitchens. Onward to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in search of the postcard-sized portrait of Anne of Guise and a late lunch in Portobello. A foray into the wool shop for turtle dove-coloured wool nearly brought my bid for No Bags In 2012 to a premature end, but fortunately Eilidh was on hand to remind me and I returned to the shop to hand back the bag I had unthinkingly accepted.
