Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed, and if you see older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

It’s been all about our blue chandelier this week. We bought it in the sale, with 30% off, from Dunelm of all places unsure if it would be right for our space. It wasn’t available to view in our local shop, and the website said that returns were easy, and well with 30% off, we thought it was worth a punt.

Anyway, it came in kit form and after several peeks in the box and holding parts of it in the area it would hang, we decided to keep it. MOH even booked our electrician to come and fit it - it hangs from the ridge of our house so neither of us were keen for anyone else to put it up.

Monday was all about completing the jigsaw and putting it together; with two of us working on it, it came together more quickly, and completed it stayed on our table waiting for the electrician to work his magic, which he did. I’ve shared a picture from before it’s up though, as you can see much more of the detail in this shot.

After stalking this light online for a good year, it’s good to finally have it where it belongs!

Have a good week.

While it’s been a pretty grim week here weather-wise, there has been good news - our heating is fixed, yay! It has mostly been working since it alarmed on Christmas Day, with a few cold days in that time, but mostly we’ve just had to contend with the regular and irregular alarms. At one point the alarm was going off every 46 minutes, I know because we timed them.

But good news, it’s back working as it should - and now the house is also filled with cheery Mimosa stems to celebrate. I’ve been meaning to buy some since we saw buckets and buckets of them on our trip to Lyons back in 2019, and now I have!

Have a great week.

Last week I said routine was returning, and that’s continued. At my patchwork group I started to play with a new way of using up my scraps with the idea of making little houses. When it came to the first roof I thought I’d hit a roadblock that needed some brain power to work out, so instead of doing that straight away I decided to carry on with making the house part of the houses, and ended up with a charming set of buildings. I’ve since worked out my roof problem, which was more of me not reading the instructions correctly regarding trimming the blocks, rather than something more fundamental.

Phew, but in the meantime it’s great fun putting these scrappy houses together!

Have a great week.
