a house hunt

It seems weve been unsettled ever since the youngins moved out and we came to a conclusion last sunday night that we would look for a place that is much smaller in space and price. Its been a bit quiet around here because

ive been house hunting all week and having open inspections to boot. So the promise of the beginnings of a quilt will be a bit slower than originally stated, sorry peeps as we have begun our whirlwind packing expedition into unknown territory. Im off out the door now to view this little gem, although very, very run down. So I guess im talking diamond in the rough. Weve been driving by every day since seeing it up for rent, as you do.

  It had me at hello with the garden and even the couch potato loves the feel of the place.

There are strange things happening at my place at the moment. But I found this clever and funny post yesterday and it was worth showing you guys.

I havent done any crafting to speak of and mostly ive just been designing stuff in my head this past week.

Mr TL wants to talk about house plans most evenings so that is occupying my time too. I took these shots for me just to catalog and maybe place in a Flickr group, as you do. The book you see was given to me by a friend the other evening when I visited. She hadnt even had a chance to read it herself. I finished reading it today and it was a charming story from another time and place about a girl who volunteers at a country camp looking after little children on holiday, and all the obstacles she encounters. I probably should be folding my huge pile of washing that covers most of the bedroom floor instead of taking pretty pictures.

 But I dont want to, maybe tomorrow....
