HOUSE? OR NO?

 

I only have two things on my agenda today.

One is to pop into The Base and get a repeat prescription.

Two is to sew runners.

ABOVE:  This is the second little House Braid Runner.  It's not finished yet.  

ABOVE:  This is the house I was thinking of putting on it... BUT... the more I looked at it, the more I thought...  I won't add it.  It's just a bit much, and the runner is going to be gorgeous on it's own I think.

I'm glad I kept looking at it, with and without the house.  If in doubt, don't, is always my 'motto'.

Who agrees?  House on, or not?

And that is me for now.  I'm off to do all the usual Monday morning things, then go to the chemist, bla bla bla.

ONWARD...

It is now 11.40 am, and I've been out and about.

AND, I've just finished the next House Braid Runner.

ABOVE:  I did not add the larger house.  It looks fabulous!  I also decided not to do the pointy ends... they are a right bitch to get looking good with the binding!

ABOVE:  The other thing I did do thought was give the little black house a blue roof, to tie it into the rest of the runner a bit more.  I think it looks cute.

And Now I'm off to visit my neighbour with the barking dog...  More on that shortly.

Back from my neighbour's house.  I don't know if I've mentioned it or not?  Since I complained about her dog barking EVERY DAY, sometimes for hours on end, suddenly... NO MORE BARKING!

I've only heard him once or twice in the past FIVE WEEKS, certainly no more than that.

ABOVE:  I am so happy about that, you have no idea.  So I cooked a batch of cheese scones this morning and took them over to her.  With a really beautiful THANK YOU card, just expressing our appreciation for her controlling her dog's barking.

I didn't ask her how she did it, and the dog was still in the house, so she hadn't got rid of him, which I was worried about.

I did have to laugh though... her house is like Fort Knox, dog barriers stopping said dog from getting into stuff!  It looked like MY house.

We have to stop the dogs getting into some places, as Marley is a bloody menace and will nick whatever she can and take off with it.  To chew it to death.

So anyway, I feel like I've done my bit towards being a nice neighbour.

And now it's 12 noon, and I'm going to make some lunch.  Probably a ... cheese scone! lol

STOP saying 'Sorry' about not liking the bigger house on the runner!  I had already decided it wasn't any good.... so you are  not upsetting me!

I've had an interesting afternoon, watching the fog all day get a little lighter, then come down again with a vengeance by 4 pm.  So. Literally foggy ALL DAY HERE.

ABOVE:  I have started another runner, this time in a colour way I've not tried before.  Black/White and Green.   That's a sneak peek at it.

I should get it finished tomorrow, then you will see all of it.  Isn't the little green tree so cute!

Putting the blue roof on the black house gave me the idea to do something similar on this one. Don't worry, there isn't a BIG green tree anywhere.  😂😉😅

WHOOPS, I nearly buggered off to bed without signing off!
