WORKING HARD...

We have been 'working' on Brylee for the past few weeks.

Working on getting her to move out.  In a nice way of course.  But still... gently hinting, outright hinting and looking at flats on the internet for her too.  lol

She has been waiting for a friend of her's to be ready to go flatting with her... but there is just one excuse after another.
We have been listening to excuses for well over a year now!

So... last night we finally convinced her to go into an existing flat, with flatmates in situ.

And ... AND... she is going to look at a house on Monday night after work.  

OMG... she might actually move out soon!

Much as we love her... I love the idea of finally being home ALONE with my darling Stew for the first time EVER.

I don't even know HOW that will feel.  

2020  MIGHT end up being OUR YEAR yet.


 I DIDN'T FORGET!

ABOVE:  I love this man more than he will ever know... and then some more.  33 years!  OMG such a long time, it just flies by.

Today we are going to pick up our new headboard.  The bed is going to be a few weeks sadly.  But, good things take time I suppose.

We are expecting visitors this afternoon ... more on that later.  

Heck, we should have a 'special' dinner tonight to mark the 33 years.  There's a couple of bottles of wine in the fridge too.  *smiles*

But for now, I better get on with the housework, and open my little shop later on.

I'm also going to take everything off the tree today, except anything that is just hanging like the little hearts and the rainbow made by Bex.

ONWARD...

9.06 am:  And it's done...




ABOVE:  Almost everything came off.  I left three pieces with pom poms and buttons on, and the little hanging things that won't hurt the tree like the swing and hearts/tassels.

It didn't take long!  I'm already planning on making some more bunting for it... cos it's looking so sad now. :(

Now... time to sew.  Oh, we already had a lady and two kids in the shop.  They were just browsing though.  But nice way to start the day, having a nice chat.
Stew has gone to pick up our new headboard.  
Exciting!!!


ABOVE:  And it's in.   Once we get our new bed we will raise the headboard up a bit so the shelves are more accessible and visible.


ABOVE:  So today we had Andrew, Joel, Emily and Liam visit for the afternoon, and also Steve, Bex and the boys.

So a lovely afternoon.

I had some really good sales in the shop today, and got an order for a cot quilt too.

All is quiet now, we've just had dinner and are enjoying a little wine.

  1. Congrats on your anniversary, congrats on possibly have the house to yourselves. Open that wine for sure.
    Your tree is going to look bare, but it has to be done, not good for it to be covered like that for too long.
