Justa quickie it's windy today and my blogs have a habit of being blown away like last nights, i know i should put them on word but still don't know how.....
We've had rain nowhere near enough though i've spent hours up'thill trying to coax water down in hoses using gravity, but if there's not enough there it won't come..
I went to wrexham yesterday and bought pink and cream chintzy blinds for the conservatory, so i've come over all pink today covering the sofa in the pink patchwork quilt,taking out the huge table and brought in the dropleaf and put a big rosy bucket on it full of bluebells and stitchwort and lilac which had blown off the tree, it looks so different and smell's divine....do all women do this?? i loathe housework ! ! !... so i'll go out and buy something homey and it makes me want to titivate and tidy the particular room its for..Well it works for me!!
I also did the finishing touch to the bathroom and hung the beads at the window, they look brill they are all irridescent like the tiles and i've cut them so they follow the archway! they certainly don't look like a cheap door curtain now..
My pile of clothes is still on the bedroom floor awaiting sorting! ! but hey it's sunny i need to play...xxxx

Not gloating but it's bucketing down here and the forecast gives it right through till Monday.I'm getting fed up with it now so take as much as you want. I've got a small lilac in the garden. May as well pick it for indoors than the rain beat it down. Like you hate housework but like to titivate. Toady
ReplyDeleteAlways knew chintziness would be back 'in' luckily never threw Gran's stuff away in fact it graces the spare room!
ReplyDeleteDreadfully sorry about the rain seems as if it got stuck over here. Moats fuller - which is a blessing we'd been 10 weeks without! Now I suppose we'll be washed out so the power of positive thought and i'll pass it on pronto with pleasure!!!
We've had a pathetic rainfall..more photos at the bottom of the page why????
ReplyDeleteYep, we've got all the rain, it hasn't stopped over here. YES I do that with re-arranging things too -it's only way I am ever motivated to do anything housey. What you did sounded lovely anyway, and WOW on your bathroom window! I only just saw your blog below about your lovely daughter, it must feel strange that she is growing up but no wonder you're proud too.
ReplyDeleteAh you see I feel a tidy house is asign of a mispent youth of Madmae Grognonnes day off.Housework Pah !
ReplyDeleteI snear at the mere mention of the word!
Oh housework - yuk. I have actually done mine - sort of - an awful lot of - I'll do that properly next time. I want to get out and get my plant pots sorted - but too wet and cold at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThat Sorrel is such a beauty, and I can guess who she takes after!
ReplyDeleteHousecleaning. Priorities.
Once upon a time I was taught, by my mom, all sorts of rules. Took me decades of living in my own home to realize I could make up my own version of what comes first, second, third, .... perhaps never!
xo
Pink - how I love to hear that word. Actually I wear an awful lot of black but I do like my pink incidentals! Its Friday now and its raining quite hard. I may soon have a moat to rival Tattie - only kidding.
ReplyDeleteSorrel, what a super name, looks divine.
It must be raining with you by now, dear heart, it's TIPPING down here! Shall I send it up to you?
ReplyDeleteYes I agree - redecoration is a wonderful spur for cleaning. After all, we need SOMETHING to make all that work worthwhile! Your daughter is lovely - so nice to hear about the great day you had with her, too.
ReplyDeleteJust saw the photos - lovely window and gorgeous caravan. I want one too!
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOH NO! Just found the photos - neighbour had a caravan just like the picture, dismantled and sold for scrap on Thursday! Love the beaded window - there is a similar window in the nearby village and I keep admiring the sun on the beads as I pass - and one of these days I shall run into the wall..!!
ReplyDeleteWrexham? has it had a make over then? The last time I went, about 20 years ago, it was dire - so dire I vowed never to return!
know just what you mean about cleaning needed to be motivated by titivating. beaded window sounds great. am just emerging from a couple of rubbish days but will be in touch soon. we have had the rain now!
