...Busy, busy, busy....

...Oh my dear blog followers, its been busy  busy  busy here at the nook.....
....hence my lack of visiting this little craft space of mine....

....its that time of year when there are things that you put of all year round on the diy front, that now need doing.....and what really needed doing was changing our stairs carpet and repainting that deep deep stair well and landing....oh and my little work room...

....so these last two weeks its painting painting painting, taking up carpet, repairing stairs and replacing some 200 year old floor boards.....

....there has been a lot of dust, a lot of sweat and a lot of cups of tea drunk....

....but now its all done and i am now enjoying so very much that wonderful feeling of new new carpet under foot......and it feels gooooood....

 

 

 

....Hooray....a job that i havent been looking forward to is now all done, just a wee bit of new skirting to fit and perhaps a new door on the bathroom, but thats for another time, we are both so tired at the moment and the heat isnt helping with that much either, so a little break is much needed.....

 

.....oh and i almost forgot....remember the knitted seagulls we were yarn bombing for our town....

 

....well, apparantly the miserable local council wouldnt let us string them up round the band stand so another loccation had to be looked for sharpish......

 

 

.....so here they are all wrapped round the railings on the sea front, i nipped down early before work yesterday to take a quick couple of photos to show you........before they all get pinched.........ha...

 

 

 

 

 

....these little dearies are so lovely to knit i am going to knit myself one, to keep just for me, i would dearly love to share the pattern with you so you could knit one too, but the pattern is the property of the lady who runs the yarn bombing group so i dont get the rights to share it......it is a shame as it is a really good pattern and i think you would like it a lot.....

 

......so, just one last thing before i go, if you would like more regular updates from my little nook space and see more of whats going on here, then please come and find me over at Instagram, i do add photos and snippets more regularly over there and it would be just wonderful so see you there....

 

.....just type in 'thecraftenook' in your search on Instagram, and there i shall be....

 

Toodles for now
