I haven't been on for a few days because I haven't really done much more sorting. However, I did get the 4 pieces of salt dough made that have been ordered, and now I just have to get them painted and varnished. After that, ALL the craft work equipment can go up into the loft.
My niece and her gorgeous (down girl!) Moroccan husband are coming later this morning to help me get some deep-rooted bits dug out of the garden. They actually volunteered to come as they are in the area this weekend for the christening of their friend's baby. As long as I keep them fed with home made soup, they are happy! Karim's family own an olive farm, and he has been to agricultural college in Spain, so he loves working on anything outdoors and physical. I have to go up to church for the Remembrance Day service, but they will arrive about the time I get back from there.
I'm absolutely gutted, as the house I had been keeping my eye on up north has been removed from sale. I suspect it's because the seller can't get what he wants for it. It had dropped price twice in the last year with "offers above", and then dropped again earlier this year to a fixed price. I hope it reappears in the future. There are other possibilities, but that one ticked all the boxes.
