And Breathe...

Hi Guys :)
Thank you all for your kind words and advice after my...meltdown minor setback, last week, it was very much appreciated. I have trimmed down the leeks to stabilize them, and am looking into setting in a hedge at the back of the house.
I went to the local textiles group this afternoon, for a break, and i found this on my table when i came home. He bought it to cheer me up after my meltdown minor setback
Ain't he sweet :') 

I've been busy sorting out what used to be the pantry. Remember the lovely pantry?
Well... (another sodding thing wrong with the house,  to add the list!!) it turns out that cupboard is too cold to store food and had started to grow mold on the shelves and warp the wood.So, all of the food has been moved back in to the tiny kitchen, and i have turned it into a coat room instead


Bags on one side, hats in the middle 
our most used summer coats and hats on the other 
and my most used shoes in the baskets, and the hubbys' on the shelf 
And i've moved the bookshelves into my corner where i work :)
What a faff! For once i would like a house that isn't crumbling to bits or growing mold at 0-60 in 2.4 seconds!


Oh well, onwards and upwards!
 I'm also knitting more socks, this time on double pointed needles, so that shall be fun!

What are you up to this week :)

    If you plant a young hedge put some windbreak fabric behind the plants to prevent them getting windburn. Will you sell your knitted socks?

      oooh, that's a good idea, is that to protect them whilst the hedge is too small?
      Hmm, i'm not sure, maybe when i get used to making them, why? Would you like a pair? Bright pink? :D

    Undomestic,
    Ah! The joy of home ownership and gardening, joys I know all too well myself. But it looks as if you are taking it all in stride and making wonderful changes when needed. – G

      Oh yes, it's all fun and games haha :) At the minute it seems like i am finding a new thing wrong with the house every five minutes!
      In end i will have it looking fabulous :D but i do enjoy making it look pretty, and i'm very creative, so that's a bonus

    mold is caused by bad air flow and damp. be careful mold doesnt build up. especially if you have asthma

It's here!

Hear that? That's the sound of a hallelujah chorus playing in celebration  Yup.  You guessed right, a miracle has occurred, the paint has arrived! Six tins of painty fun! Though no wallpaper. And they forgot one of the roller tray sets. But never mind! Because most of it is here and for now that will keep me happy :) We've already started on the top half of the living room, a gorgeous clean white, and the bottom half will be started on next week in Country Blue, i'll do a wee tour when it's finished :) The reason it won't be done until next week is because the plaster needs at least 4 weeks curing before it can be painted on. Irritating when i just want to get on with it lol To keep myself busy i painted my little telephone table   and the basket below is halfway through being painted, i'm waiting for it to dry before i do the next coat. I also painted my "Dresser" and how lovely it looks now :) the paint h...

Garden stuff

Hi guys :) Thank your all your lovely comments about the Bearded Wonder, he is doing wonderfully and has even voluntarily made a new appointment at the doctors (will wonders ever cease?) With the lovely weather we have finally made it out into the garden, and got to work.  There is still so much to do to get it to where we want it but, progress is progress no matter how small :) The Bearded Wonder has dug out the path, and we are going to border it in an attempt at keeping the weeds and grass at bay, and put either gravel or pebbles in the gaps. I have cobbled together a frame, and am going to put down cardboard, newspaper and mulch to block down the weeds, and with any luck by next year it should be diggable, and shall be used for herbs and above ground growing plants such as salads and brassicas etc  We also got a lovely new bed from a friend, so our old Divan bed has had it's fabric sides ripped out and shall be pressed into service as raised bed...

Hello?

*Peers round corner* Hello? Is anyone there? First of all, i would like to apologize for being so long updating here! It's been pretty busy around here, especially in the past month or two, and i have been updating mostly via Instagram.  We discovered that The Bearded Wonder has been having quite big heart issues , so much so that he was initially referred to get a pacemaker fitted, but on the day of his surgery the surgeon decided he was too young for a pacemaker and ended up fitting him with an under the skin monitor instead, which shall be in for 3 years, then he'll be re-assessed to see if a pacemaker is more suitable. He is doing well, and recovering nicely from the surgery. In other news, today is the day that Angus has been in our lives for a whole year! He was so tiny then. Somehow, out of nowhere, he has turned into this really fat, obnoxious fluffball! We are still enjoying going out and about on the bikes, and we are looking fo...
