Notes from the (never) bored-room: Ah autumn...
http://wilswit.blogspot.com/2014/09/ah-autumn.html
Notes from the (never) bored-room. There's a very definite change in the atmosphere. Farmers busy themselves with essential work while the weather holds and just beyond the fields, the waters of the Irish Sea are a little rougher than of late. I spotted this fabulous village sign on a work visit this week. For years a friend thought it was pronounced Tamla O'Frilly. Thursday, September 04, 2014. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Notes from the (never) bored-room: ssshhhh.... hear it?
http://wilswit.blogspot.com/2014/06/ssshhhh-hear-it.html
Notes from the (never) bored-room. Ssshhhh. hear it? It's peace and quiet. The house looks like a bomb has hit it thanks to a couple of weeks of ". just leave it, I'll sort it. no really. just walk away and I'll see to it.". I think I now know how parents feel when all the kids go to camp all at once. Except here, it's the parents who've gone. I have such plans. Decluttering the entire house. Power-hosing all the paths. Painting all the fences. Replanting the garden and tubs. Tuesday, June 03, 2014.

Notes from the (never) bored-room: February 2015
http://wilswit.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Notes from the (never) bored-room. Dress rehearsal for spring. It was as excited as a child on Christmas eve; spring was coming, how could it stay in the bed? Yes, it was still dark but in the first few days of January, up it shot to bring beauty to the tiny patch of border. It's the same every year; the first of a small clump of daffodils showing up in the dead of winter, without fail. There is hope. just wait. brighter days are coming. Thursday, February 26, 2015. I got to thinking about this lad and h...

Notes from the (never) bored-room: March 2015
http://wilswit.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Notes from the (never) bored-room. Choc mint aero scored. 2 out of 10 - and my heart sank. The lil' guy making the ice cream was quite clear, however that scoring 1 would have been 'excellent'. We missed the mark this time 'because it just wasn't green enough'. We were experimenting with the number of drops required of green colouring and the peppermint extract - the chopped mint aero bar was preferred over the choc chips as being much nicer.

Notes from the (never) bored-room: The Art of Celebration.
http://wilswit.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-art-of-celebration.html
Notes from the (never) bored-room. The Art of Celebration. The Art of Celebration - the new album by these lovely people - the Rend Collective who hail from Bangor, Co Down (about 2 miles away from where I live). I love the title of the album - I've heard them describe the 'art' element as something that's both playful and something that has to be worked at. It's all about joy - and that's a gift. Looking forward to this gig! Friday, May 16, 2014. 16 May 2014 at 22:24. Loved the video too!

Notes from the (never) bored-room: August 2015
http://wilswit.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Notes from the (never) bored-room. I love when paths 'accidentally' collide. It's happened twice in the last few days. Late home, I wanted to watch this week's BBC "Who do you think you are"programme about Derek Jacobi. A cousin had recommend it as his family background (and mine) traces back to the French Huguenots who sought refuge in the British Isles. It might be well known in that part of London - I'd never heard of it before but what are the odds of it being mentioned twice in about 10 minutes?

Notes from the (never) bored-room: not a crochet hook in sight....
http://wilswit.blogspot.com/2014/07/not-crochet-hook-in-sight.html
Notes from the (never) bored-room. Not a crochet hook in sight. We've had wonderful, mellow dawns and dusks to bookend our days over the last week. On Friday evening, Grace, mum and I headed to the harbour to watch the sun set - and to knit (mum), crochet (me) and swim - a very brave 13 year old! I love the colours in the sky and the last rays of light on mum's face. Time for a refurb then! A new lid was needed and dad got to work on that while I sprayed the wicker. Just the kind of project I love and I'...

Notes from the (never) bored-room: hooky time again
http://wilswit.blogspot.com/2014/08/hooky-time-again.html
Notes from the (never) bored-room. When the warm sunny days get washed away. it's hooky time! My new favourite wooly nook - The Textile Studio in Belfast. Had the Drops Paris cotton on sale so I bought a bag load - still won't be enough to complete the throw but let's see how it goes! I fell in love with Julie's rug on this site. But probably shouldn't be doing it in cotton - it's a bit of an experiment but a good chance to play around a bit with colours and patterns. Open to ideas! Love made my home.
