A FEBRUARY SUNDAY SO SOON!

 On yes we are already in February! I know ! But at least it means we are getting closer to Spring.

Now I forgot to share something last Sunday and you may need to know this because it's probably happening to you too!

One room in this house we have never properly decorated is our bedroom. When we moved in the room was papered and painted in a deep coral bordering on O r a n g e ! Yes I know, it had to go, so I stripped the whole room and just washed down the walls and painted them in a colour called Mocha and so they have stayed that way while all around the house changes have happened and other walls decorated.

So we have started work finally, now it's coming up to having lived here twenty years ! So you saw the wallpapers I have been considering but I'm planning on seeing what my originally purchased  wallpaper from 19 years back, looks like before I give up on using it. 

So spying ! Yes being spied on , is what I'm sharing with you. Now last week once we'd gone up to bed, we were discussing the decoration of the room and we are intending to add some panelling behind the bed which stands in front of the back window. I was telling Paul about maybe using a deep pink on the panelling, he didn't disagree. 

Now the next day when I looked at my emails I found this

EXACTLY! in my emails , one from Farrow and Ball of deep pink panelling behind a bed!! How did they send me this the day after we'd talked about it ? 

Well that evening I had plugged my iphone in to charge on the other side of the bedroom! So it proves that your phones are listening in !! So now you have been warned ! 

Meanwhile I'm into knitting Hattie's hats for the Chat n Snap ! I had decided I could only use the 4ply wool I already had.

Most of which appears to be blues, with a touch of green and a few others. Well I did knit up a few of the plain colours. They are nice enough. 

But I have to say I do like /prefer the multi colour ones just a little more. 

So I have to confess I have bought a couple of balls of sock wool to bring in a few more colourways, I know I know, so much for not spending any money and using up wool I already have! 

However Hattie may have a small stall at the Chat n Snap to sell a few.

Speak of which I must announce it and start getting in some ticket money, so I have an idea if any one will actually be turning up this year, for the tenth and very last one !

To that end I have taken a couple of photo's for the announcement , so will probably do so tonight or tomorrow.

Today's or should I say tonight's ? Headliner is Sapphire. She kindly agreed to brave the quickly cooling evening air for a very mini photo shoot. 

On the doll front not much , apart hat knitting and wool buying has been happening, although I did pay off for one of my layaway dolls and will pay for the second in the next couple of weeks, all being well.

Then I will try not to buy any more dolls etc for the rest of this quarter !! See I don't say year or six months because I know even a quarter will be pushing it ! It's always as if the doll gods look down and nudge each other saying " Did she just say she's not buying any more dolls? " " Yes" " Really ? " " yes " " oh foolish woman, let's see what we can tempted her with !"

They see it as a challenge  and they know they can win !

So it will be the fifth in a couple of day, so get those doll photos sent in, all dolls welcome, not just Sasha's.

Now I found some wispy yarn, so I'm off to knit a Hattie Hat in it to see how it comes out. Have a lovely happy healthy week ahead.
