My what a whirl wind of a week...
We had yet another dust storm yesterday and I do start to worry about the state of our little planet when weather changes so dramatically....
How is the climate were you are...Are you warm and summery or cool and wintry...
Since blogging I find these things now amuse me more than they every did before...
Seeing pictures and chatting to friends who live so far away bring these things to light I suppose...
My mind has been busy with so many happy thoughts this week as well...
Seeing the new painting by Leah of my sweet pretty Roma, has brightened me no end...
I know you love caravans and vintage as much as me so I realize your heart would be in a flutter too..
So here is a beautiful photo just cause I knew you would want to see it as much as me...
(Click on image to visit the lovely Leah at flickr)Photo courtesy of Leah...Or Here to see her Etsy shop...
Leah has a amazing style about here painting...
I think you will agree...For me her work reminds me of true
Brady Bunch Architecture...
The look of that era, the clean lines of architectural drawing but the thought that something
more lies within...The perfect house yet is it the perfect family?
I could delve deeper into thought but I will not as I really would like to see what you think?
Of course it is ovious that I am insane about caravans so that does help loving here work...
But after checking through Leah's etsy shop I did spy some very cool pool scenes...
I think I am liking them more and more...
Maybe something to do with my new found splashing abilities...Yes giggle...giggle....
Now I have, as you know been a tad crocheted out...If that is possible...
But as you realize dear friend when has that ever stopped me...
so yes I did find time to set to work on a few Christmas gifts...
Here is a photo enclosed of what will be finding it's way here...
I really kick myself for not starting my Christmas gift organizing sooner...
But every year I do the same thing....
Leave it all to the last minute...
You would think I would learn but no...Slow in that department...
Now other exciting news is the new cottage will be all settled a week before Christmas...That gives me a week to get it stripped and painting...
I think I will be just visiting on Christmas day as I can not see me moving furniture and family in as well...
But I did find out some interesting things about the cottage...
That it is 155 years old...How sweet...
And that it was originally a school principals residence and class room
way back then...and even later on a parsonage for a Methodist priest...
Intriguing...
and the original side gate is still there entwined with ivy and the like...
Fancy that....
Now as much as I want to write some more I have to dash...
But as always there is more I need to fill you in on...Like the other project!!!
so I will write very soon and share more...
Till then Dear Friend...take care...
Michelle...
Loving The Vintage...
I love your carvan, looking really fab! The weather has been very wet and windy in Lancashire , England! Today though it is cold and crisp.
ReplyDeleteI love your crochet, such lovely colours! suzie. xxx
Oh do I ever love the vintage caravan! Wishing I still had mine, sigh. The painting is amazing, I will have to look at her shop.
ReplyDeleteToday the sun is poking out from behind the veil of gray mist and doing us all a bit of good.
The history of your cottage sounds most intriguing. I hope to hear tales of it's future as well.
Your crochet hearts have made my heart leap and skip!
Oh, was I supposed to peek? Well I did as usual, but I'll pretend I didn't!
ReplyDeleteI hope your blog will be full of pics of the cottage in the New Year, cause I'm itchin to see it.
Can you email me your mailing address please. For the girl in disarray who can't find it.
Firstly... the weather... well I'm not melting today... bit overcast... bit of wind but still a tad humid here in 'sunny' Qld.
ReplyDeleteSecond... gift giving... I have come to believe that us creative types are always behind in preparation for the gift giving season as we keep coming up with other wonderful gift giving ideas or is that just cause I'm a procrastinator or maybe just indecisive [I'll blame me mudder for that one]... Ohhh love your garland... your not holding out on us with the lovely grandma hearts there!!!...
Thirdly... your new cottage/home... ohh how exciting... all those plans... all that history... I wonder what else your cottage will reveal to you once you start working with it... Ohh can't wait to hear all about it...
Just keep plodding you seem to be going fine... B
We have been having the most unbelievable rain here - heavy and persistent, with lots of flooding - and far more than we are used to - our climate is definitely getting more extreme. The caravan looks amazing, and I just love your garland, too.
