The forecast is for rain for the next month (!) so I've washed everything in sight to take advantage of the beautiful sun. It's a lovely day; lets hope the forecast is wrong.
Mark finished painting my office and we're just waiting for the trim to harden then everything can go back in. It's a lovely shade of pale dove grey with white trim. I'm looking forward to decorating it; looking for new curtains tomorrow. The grey is a very peaceful colour and I need the room to be uncluttered and relaxing to work well. I can't think in clutter. I tend to like mono-chromic or French provincial so there'll be dashes of black, white and maybe a little red.
Not sure about the red though because I have the most beautiful piece of fabric that I've had for literally years in a sort of pastel floral. It's very floaty and soft I'm thinking it might make a gorgeous cushion cover and maybe a tassel for the cupboard door. I'd love a big old wooden desk but the one I have is the perfect size and shape for my work and the room so I'll work around it.
I'm going to a morning tea on Friday of local ladies who do craft and are into the same things I am such as cooking from scratch, gardening etc. It should be huge fun, meeting new people and learning new things. I have to say though, when it comes to crafts, my enthusiasm far exceeds my expertise!
I seem to have a to - do list as long as my arm today, better get to it. Am about to go down to the bush and get some wood to start the fire later on and to stock up before it starts to rain. The fire was blazing last night so when Mark came home the house was toasty. We had a pork stir-fry and home-made custard with stewed pears and then curled up in front of the fire - doesn't get much better. The ducted is a huge blessing but I really do prefer the heat from a fire.
Don't the leeks look lovely?!
