GOSH, HAVE JUST CHECKED THE TIME LAPSE

IT APPEARS THAT MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MONTHS HAVE PASSED SINCE OUR LAST POST.......................HOW DID THIS HAPPEN????????????????????

WE'VE BEEN BUILDING A HOUSE, WHICH HAS HAD MORE THAN IT'S FAIR SHARE OF DELAYS WITH 2 MAJOR EARTHQUAKES & LOTS OF AFTERSHOCKS BUT WE ARE FINALLY IN & BUSY SORTING OUT ALL THE "STUFF"! SOME PICCIES BELOW ...MUCH TO MY HUSBAND'S DISGUST THERE ARE CERTAINLY MANY VINTAGE ITEMS IN OUR NEW HOUSE, NOT HOW HE THINKS IT SHOULD BE BUT EVERYONE WHO SEES IT LOVES IT!

I'VE POSTED A COUPLE OF PHOTOS THAT SHOWS YOU CAN MIX OLD & NEW, HANDMADE & SHOP-BOUGHT & IT GIVES A HOUSE SOUL.

CERTAINLY VERY MUCH TIME TO GET SOME WINTER PROJECTS UNDERWAY; PUT THE LONG-AWAITED ITEMS ON THE ONLINE SHOP & GET THE MOJO BACK. MANY ITEMS AWAITING PAINTING, COVERING, YOU NAME IT, THEY ARE WAITING & OF COURSE WE HAVE CUSTOMERS WHO WANT TO BUY STUFF OVER WINTER WHEN THE BARN IS "CLOSED" (OPEN BY APPOINTMENT OF COURSE)!

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK OF CLASSES IN CRAFTY ENDEAVOURS THIS WINTER????? WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO ASK ABOUT MOSAICS, PAINTING FURNITURE, SEWING, ETC.....& THEN THEY WANT TO KNOW IF WE RUN CLASSES BUT WE NEVER HAVE BUT THINK THIS WOULD BE A FUN THING TO DO IN WINTER WEEKENDS OR EVENINGS, MULLED WINE ANYONE???????????????? LET US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS.............
