Busy Weekend

Sometimes you just have to say what you think.

Even if you have to go all the way to Glasgow to do it.  Because when you get there, you discover that you are not alone.

And all the way there and all the way back there is a chance to KNIT, so six hours of knitting later I have one and a half funky evening gloves.

So that was Saturday.

Today, I have had a shed clear out. Carolyn at Laughing Duck has been berating me about the term 'shed'. But if you look at the next few bizarre photographs you will see that it is very aptly named, for that is what it is - a shed.

I wanted to move all the old books out so that I have more room for fabric. The quickest route is as shown - up the ladder and in through window. This saves a long and cumbersome trudge through the house. But this method involved co-operation from the men of the house. Owen was one end of the human chain, I was the other and Geoff was in the middle. Poppy jumped out of the window to see what all the fuss was about.

Here you can clearly see that the place where I make Things is most definitely a shed. Sorry Carolyn, I could never call this a 'studio'. It is now a very tidy shed though. All these books have been stored somewhere else. I can't  tell you where in case Martha is reading this.

Poppy gets into everything doesn't she!

I can just imagine you all in the human and canine chain. Good idea to put the "shed" up against the house for warmth. Another lovely pair of groovy gloves.

When you say shed I had visions of you trudging to the bottom the garden! But this really is delightful and what views you have. Wonderful, little bit of envy going on here.

You could of course take some books to the Oxfam shop.

I love your shed - and good on you for getting behind a cause. We are in desperate need of a toolshed for the yard, and a hundred other things too - time methinks, time!

Beautiful gloves, divine colour :)

Have a good week!

Mother I know full well that you are piling things in my room. I remember what you did to Johns room when he was away- you couldn't open the door as I recall.

I'm back the first week of april probably.

Thanks for dropping by my blog! Yes, the black theme was 'solstice special' and has now gone from my typepad blog; I just haven't updated the blogspot one yet. That dog of yours is gorgeous! And you live in the part of the world I want to return to when I no longer need Silicon Fen to pay my way... Lovely!

I love your shed, I love your house, ah, makes me homesick for a little cottage in the dales.
