WIP Wednesday 16 September 2015

Well, my time has mostly spent doing this

but I did manage a couple of very short stitching sessions and got this done.

I'm sure you can tell exactly what it's going to be.

On Sunday I took part in the Paws For A Cause walk for the SPCA and as I was headed for Mariner's Park I past this local keeping an eye on passers by.

And I've had to spend some time snuggling one of my boys who is very confused about what is happening to his home.

And that's been my week.

WIP Wednesday 9 September 2015

Except it's not. No stitching at all this week. I think my blog will be very quiet for the next few weeks.

The good news - I have a place to move to! The bad news - I have to move! LOL And I only have 3 weeks to do it in, so stitching goes way down the priority list for the time being.

I'm really pleased with my new apartment. It's an adults only building, 2 storey with only 12 units in the whole building. It's tucked down a hill, so I won't hear much if any of the road traffic.

I have more space which is wonderful. The living room is larger, with a small balcony/deck off it. I have a proper dining area so my table and chairs won't be taking up a corner of the living room and the kitchen has more counter space and more cupboards. There are 3 bedrooms, all a good size and I've already designated one to be my craft room. It will be nice to have my stuff all in one spot and maybe, just maybe, I can actually organize it. It has a pretty good amount of storage space as well which is an added bonus.

Of course, there has to be one downer and that is rent - it's double what I pay now, but I knew that would take a jump. Means watching the pennies closer, but who doesn't have to do that?

And Then It's Upside Down!

My container garden on my steps has a lovely miniature rose as one of the plants.

As you can see, it's loaded with buds. We really, really need a couple of hot, sunny days and it will be full of blooms. And the warmest it's going to get over the next 10 days is 15 (that's 59 for you Fahrenheit people) and 3 days of POSSIBLE sunshine. What's happened to our summer???

And what do you mean I'm in the way?

Aren't doorways meant for sitting in?

Oh, and the upside down part? I was sitting doing some computer work Wednesday afternoon when my landlord knocked on my door and gave me an eviction notice! No, I haven't been a terrible tenant, honest. They've just decided they want to convert the suite into a graphic arts studio for the wife. I've been here 12 years and I was hoping I would never have to move again. I HATE MOVING!!!!! The rental situation in Rupert sucks at the moment, so it's going to be a tough couple of months. And be warned, you're probably going to hear all about it!
