morning ladies and welcome flossy 63 
It's going to be a real stunner of a day today. A good day to be outside 
You have been busy with your home, flossy. A lot like MrK and I. Although he can no longer do some of it. I have one bedroom left to 'do' and then we have the kitchen and bathroom to gut and rebuild. I am proud to say that all the inside painting has been done by me. And that includes stripping off painted over wallpaper, plastering (except for one whole wall that needed doing and we decided to get a professional in for that), sanding and pretty much anything else that needed doing. I even learned how to replace the glass in a window. Often though, these things are slowed down by our own health, the health of our partner or a family member. This has happened to us with two close family members having cancer and MrK slowing down due to his health.
Mica, how did it go with the photographer? How did they 'pick' you for the article? And how did they decide what to photograph and write? We have two local community papers here, both free. One is privately owned and is much better than the other. I must admit, I read it online but MrK still flicks through the pages. I head for the hatch, match and dispatch pages first and then work towards the front.
I've started sewing a tote bag for my friend who needs a replacement thanks to her granddaughter's other nana refusing to return the original bag I made for her. Told her to not worry about it, it's an easy 'fix'. Today though, we will be scattering my sister-in-law's ashes so no sewing. It must seem all I do is craft and garden but I do have a life away from the needles, I just don't tell all on a public forum.
Happy crafting
