We have had a busy few weeks.
Indoors we have been working on the last room of our renovation. I can't bring myself to show you what it looked like when we first saw it. It has remained as a junk room for years but now its turn has come. Other windows downstairs have proper working wooden shutters so this window looked a little bare until we were tidying the loft space and came across an old dismantled wardrobe . The doors were exactly the right size!
Sadly they won't function as shutters and this old window can't be double glazed so I am seriously thinking of quilted curtains? :o)

Outside there has been a lot of gardening to do.
Everything is growing so fast and early! Looks as if another huge crop of apples is promised on this tree this autumn. It has cropped heavily for 20 years now!
Quilting wise I have got through the "creative lull" I was in and am now working furiously on something for Sandown and something else for Festival of Quilts although the latter is just a rough sketchy idea at present. I am definitely better working under pressure!
The other thing on the horizon is the start of the rebuilding of our river wall and road damaged in the the Cockermouth floods of November 2009! It is due to start at the beginning of June and be done by the end of September. It is going to be a big job and at present we have no idea how we are going to be able to get to and from our house. Just in case we are going to do a couple of big shopping trips so that we are stocked up with all the non perishable heavy staple stuff.

What a great idea for dressing your windows....the original shutters in my farmhouse were nailed back to hide the stonework that had never been replastered and although we don't often use the shutters I had to release them and re-hang the shutters....I love traditional archtecture!
