So sorry I have not been around, Thank you to all those who have asked where I am! I am still here, trying to read other peoples blogs when I can but it is so busy round here, I don't know where I am half the time!
My workroom won't be ready before Christmas now. Most of it will be done but the joiner can't get the shelving done till some time in January. The new study/library room will also be shelf-less as he is making those too! Oh well.
other things are on schedule. The conservatory went and we now have a lovely room in it's place which will be our new dining room. The two spare rooms are ready for decorating and the en suite is almost ready. The kitchen is also nearly there.

I did manage a few at the weekend-some while Hubby was driving and he refused to stop so they are a bit blurred-men!
We had a lovely time at my brother's surprise party last night (I made his book and everyone signed it on the night) It was so nice to catch up with family who we have not seen for years and years.
This weekend we are trying to clean upstairs a bit but I am finding it hard to move away from the sofa in front of the fire!!!
and Lucy can't move off the bed!


Lucy's not daft is she?! Lovely girl. Sounds as if you have a lot on your plate just now but glad most of it is going well. Loved the misty morning pic.

Good to see you back, Lyn - sounds like you've been having a busy time. Lovely atmospheric photos and Lucy - well sensible girl, my two spend most of their time on the bed too:)
ReplyDeleteThe building works will be finished soon, looking great so far, so if you feel like taking it easy, take it easy I say. There's always be cleaning, follow Lucy's example, snuggle.
ReplyDeleteOh how busy you are - I can see why you haven't been around - sorry the extension won't be quite ready for Christmas but it's looking really good so far. Archie has just discovered beds in the day time are very good places to sleep, he always sleeps on my toes at night but now sneaks into the boys' rooms in the day to curl up on their up-in-the-air beds! xx
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back again, and the renovations are looking brilliant, such a shame it won't be ready for Christmas though. Envious of your shower tiles, they're lovely, and your new kitchen's looking great. And what a marvellous view you have out of your window.
ReplyDeleteTake a leaf out of Lucy's book, grab a glass of wine and curl up and relax, and keep warm.
I know I always say it but Lucy looks so much like our Frankie !
ReplyDeleteCraft club sounds wonderful. I used to be a mum helper at the primary school - oh the paint pots & brushes I washed up !
Sorry that your workroom will take a bit longer but good that everything else is coming together.
At my mum's 8oth we put out a basket of photos & asked guests to find temselves. It sparked a lot of memories.
No wonder you don't have much time to blog! Just turn a blind eye to the unfinished bits of your house and enjoy the good bits - the kitchen is looking great. Lovely photos inspite of the grey weather and beautiful cats. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice comment.
ReplyDeleteSorry things aren't moving quite as quickly as you'd like but not much longer - it'll get there! Your school club looks like it's going to be a lot of fun x
ReplyDeleteThe house is looking great!
ReplyDeleteHave a good Sunday, whatever you'll decide to do!

ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely and I do love the idea of the childrens club, it's a wonder you are getting anything done with all that upheaval going on around you ... still it will be lovely when it's done! You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love your misty morning photograph. Just think, you will have your new craft room to look forward to in the new year which isn't that far away now. Good luck with the craft group. I bet the children love it! x
ReplyDeletethe house looks great so far, I think lucy has the best idea, our Millie is just the same :-)

LOVING the cat - in HD looks perfection !!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week
What utterly stunning images of wintry trees, especially the patterns of those oaks. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the demoralising setbacks in the build.
The aprons for the kids are such a great idea! I bet they had so much fun making them.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the transformation of your new rooms. Craft club looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn, I've missed you so it's nice to have you back. Great winter photographs! Good luck with the craft club. I've done one for a few years now, tiring but great fun!
ReplyDeleteLove Kathy xxx
glad you are ok - i thought school and building work must have just got to you as it does sometimes - the rooms are looking good
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you on the blog. Thank you Lyn for stopping by. Lizzie x PS my cats did not move away from the fire all day yesterday!!
ReplyDeleteTheir studio will not be ready before Christmas now. Most of this is done, but a carpenter can not get the shelf until sometime in January. The new study room will also last at least when he is too.

Although you are busy, you still manage to take the most artistic photos!
ReplyDeleteWish I could be there to help with your after school art class - I love that sort of thing!!
