Packing is still under way....but we finally move on Monday!! Normal service will resume shortly from the letter A.....or at least the basement flat below the house which the letter A is pointing to!
Please don't forget about the Made in the Shade summertime hop...20th June. Please come along if you can - it will be lots of fun!
I am still alive, surrounded by boxes of 'stuff' and empty shelves waiting in eager anticipation for The Move.
I am mostly packed, which proves frustrating when I suddenly want to look at a book or watch a film, thank goodness the internet exists! All that is left to go is daily essentials - this includes fabric mountain, art materials, jewellery making stuff, computer, my toothbrush and coffee.
I am on a bit of a floral kick at the moment...maybe because of the beautiful weather, the vintage furniture fabrics I have been looking at, the big hole left by the disposal of my dried rose collection (I have been ruthless in my packing!) or the fact that my new flat will back onto the fabulous Botanics.....who knows how my mind works!?
All I know is that I want to fill my new flat with peonies, begonias, roses and beautiful floral vintagey things....such as this!
Utter perfection by littlepaperhome on etsy....I want a wall full please. Then I could make a giant chalk drawing of an owl, or something, although it would look as though you were spying on him through many floral portholes....I seriously think that would be the best wall in the world.
Well, apologies for my lack of updates and responding to comments! I've been so rushed packing, sorting through and getting rid of all the useless things I've been carrying round with me for years. I think I've moved house 7 times in the past 4 years and I decided it was time to let go of a lot of things. This move really counts as 2, as I am moving, but also my parents are, so the things which I though could remain in their loft can't anymore. So it's all been sorted and thinned down. It's all quite liberating really!
I actually move on Tuesday, so won't be around until after then. It's all coming together now, so I'm a lot more excited than nervous about it now!
See you in Edinburgh :D
Why, when you know there are important things you have to do, do you find anything you possibly can to do to avoid it!? The thing I need to do...??....sort my stuff out and start packing for the move. I've done nothing so far. Well, that's not strictly true. I have realised I won't be able to paint once I leave here, until I find somewhere of my own....so I started some paintings! A large self portrait and also some tiny (3x3 inch) collaged paintings. I have also, this very second, realised I shall also be without sewing machine and piles of fabric. The ability to make a new dress whenever I fancy shall be taken away. Perhaps I should draw up some designs and get started on some new ones immediately?? I still have three weeks to pack after all.
I have also been thinking that I may need to put the etsy shop to rest whilst I stay with my sister. I'm not quite sure how it's going to work out out otherwise. Such a shame as I've really only just got started with it! But without my computer things may get a little difficult. But it would only be temporary....if at all! watch this space I guess!
