PRETTY PASTEL PLAYTIME

Bad girl today l'm afraid...decorations still up and l played all day with my new books and a bit of pastel yarn for the swap 12 l do each month

not sure which l will send yet but it was fun hehehe

Spot the mistake......ggggggrrrrr l didn't until l'd cut the yarn off so that's for the scrap

not one for using patterns much just make it up as l go but learn't quite a few stitches today

By that l mean....some stitches l've used in the past now have names!!

SNOW SCENE

Must take all the decorations down today don't really want to take the snow flakes down from the bedroom window though when the sun shines they send little spots of light around the room and look so pretty

ICING AND PURPLE GLASSES

New Glasses...purple! hehe

Needed to go to a 1.75 for my reading glasses only ones l have found so far are purple

Tried a night time shot at 5 this morning of the icing we got last night

Took ages to take aswell hence the shaky pic lol

Snow has put a stop to the house hunt for today but collecting a selection on line to look at next week

Thanks for all the good wishes on the house hunt and my use of colour you don't know how much that means to me

Thank you sooooo much

Happy crafting

I found I could say things with colour and shapes

that I couldn't say any other way

things I had no words for.

OOOH HOUSE HUNTING...AGAIN!!

Spent yesterday morning house hunting on the laptop and the afternoon viewing!!...lol don't you just LOVE looking at property hehe

All that EXCITING potential.....Looked at a small town called Wem a bungalow and a cottage

Closer to OH's work but unfortunately not close enough we did the journey back to test the milage..shame 'cos l quite liked Wem

Cant find a photo of the bungalow from yesterday seems to have disappeared!!

Bungalow had wonderful potential but was over priced for all the work needed....nothing we couldn't have done but a lot to do....

Almost all the ceilings covered in polystyrene tiles..illegal!!

the garage was a wreck and made of asbestos....costly to have removed

All the wallpapers coming off the walls and all the carpets a mess....no idea what you might find under the loose wallpapers and ceiling tiles!!...a lot of plastering a possibility

But a fabulously sunny home with lots of space and a great size with a big garden and loadsa space for Noo Noo....

Cottage gorgeous loved it loved the space loved the open fireplace and the open plan rooms bedrooms ok

BUT....after stepping inside and ooooohing and arrrrhing the agent dropped the bomb shell the gate and the drive which look like they belong (in fact did originally) were shared and the carport and side entrance had been sold to the neighbouring house!!!!!!

Couldn't believe the insanity of that one...she agreed and said it's why they can't sell it everyone says the same thing....perfect cottage useless to us with out the drive and car parking space..the main reason for moving!!

COTTAGE IN WEM

big mistake....wouldn't you think the gate and drive belonged to the cottage?..ggggrrrrr

BOMERE HEATH......the next village to try.....

only about 4 miles from Shrewsbury perfect!.....Todays veiwing fingers crossed just waiting for the agents to open...another bungalow

Love looking at property so yesterday was a FUN DAY and at least we now know Wem is not a viable option...fingers crossed for Bomere Heath!

Moving on is a simple thing, what's left behind is hard!

hope you'll enjoy the house hunt journey too
