I have every intention of getting some photography done, the Autumnal colours are so beautiful here. I'm also feeling rather creative, I am still knitting (when I have the time, in between everything else that has been going on lately), and crocheting. I'd like to do some embroidery, something that I don't have much experience with, but with the help of a really detailed book on all things knitting/embroidery/crochet related, I think I'll have some fun learning!

The back bedroom, which was previously used as the 'computer room' was changed a couple of weeks ago into a proper bedroom. It has a sofa bed and thus is now a dual purpose room. The light in there is good pretty much all day, thanks to a big window, and in the afternoon/evening it basks in a warm radiance. So, the back bedroom is now my creative haven. My old Singer sewing machine has taken up residence in there, along with my crafting fabrics, quilting materials and crochet stuff. Admittedly, it does have lilac carpet, but that was there before us! I plan on painting the walls a buttercream colour, and adding some artwork to liven the place up a bit. I am quite 'arts-and-crafts-movement' inspired, so if one could have William Morris wallpaper, then I'd would, but I don't think that's going to happen! So I'll settle for some Pre-Raphelite art on the walls. Everyone needs some Edmund Blair-Leighton and Lizzie Sidall on their walls!


The dog was taken to the vets for her annual booster vaccination, despite there being a rather large, rather manic spotty dalmatian sitting a few feet away from us, the dog responded rather well. She is such a changed character from when we first got her. Which is all good, she has mellowed out alot too. Although I'm sure she'll always remain a complete puppy, I'm sure it's the Alsatian in her.

Righty-o, I'm off to sort my little 'creative haven' out, and then maybe a trip out to take some photos on my very old, but very good 35mm SLR.
