Today

I have not done any more amigurumi crochet this week.

Today we bought the floor tiles for the bathroom/toilet and laundry, they are the same as for the rest of the house only that they are smaller.

These are the tiles in the kitchen area.

We have a magpie visiting us sometimes now, it comes right in under the entertainment area roof, here it is having its breakfast!!

Amigurumi

I started crocheting an amigurumi lion yesterday, thanks to M for telling me about amigurumi crochet and letting me use some of her instructions.






This is the face with the orange mane around the edges. I have to embroider eyes, nose and mouth.

Blinds

M & G gave us some venetian blinds that they no longer need. R put them up today and we are very pleased with them, they look really good. The old vertical blind is still in place in this photo but will be taken down tomorrow.


R surprised me, when I got home he said he was in charge of making our dinner, he saw a recipe for Ham and Asparagus Risotto in the paper this morning and made it for us, it was so delicious.

Another Friday

Oh dear, another week and another month have flown by!

The tiler finished and came back today to measure the bathroom, toilet and laundry, we thought we might carry the floor tiles through into those rooms but the tiler says we need a smaller tile in the shower recess so that there can be a slope to the drain. I think we will look for something similar to the rest of the house just in the smaller size.



The other option is to have the shower recess floor different to the rest of the bathroom, but I think that would look a bit odd unless we could get the same tile in the smaller size.

I was not sure about the feature tiles on the kitchen walls, but now that they have been grouted they don't look as bad.

Friday

The tiler has put all the floor tiles down but has a bit more grouting to do and has to grout the kitchen tiles on Monday, we have realised he forgot to tile the wall near the toaster so will get that done on Monday too.



I haven't been crocheting for a few days I thought I should give my shoulders and arms a rest, I had another treatment yesterday and have a little more movement in my arm now - hope it continues to improve.

Tiling

The tiler started tiling the floors yesterday

Yesterday

and did some more today

Today

he probably won't finish until Friday, he still has a bit to do, then do the grouting and the kitchen walls.

Friday again

It's good to be Friday evening again, looking forward to two days off.

Hope the tiler arrives Tuesday the concrete floors are not very attractive!

Still rippling on - I am going to buy some green wool tomorrow to liven it up a bit . . . maybe some pink as well
