I'm too tired to say that much I think, but we're in, we're in Cwmgors, woohoo!
We moved in a few days ago but had family visiting, and we are very busy with unpacking, although it doesn't really seem to be getting anywhere at the moment.
Living here so far ahs been lovely, so quiet and peaceful compared to busy Uplands. I hang the nappies out on the (temporary) line in the morning and all I can hear is the birds singing (and the spitty spotting rain, usually). There is a beautiful view across the valley from our back garden.
We went for a walk up to the windmills that you can see from our house as it was Will's sister's ambition to touch one. Unsurprisingly it was very windy up there! It is so bare it feels like a desert, it's quite eerie really.
My artists date didn't happen again this week, we have just been too busy. Again though I have made little bits of time for myself here and there. I have done a little bit of drawing the views from our windows, and I have muddled around the house doing this and that. I have decided to frame a few of the glass pieces I made in 2013/14, as they have just been sat in a crate the last few years. I was very proud of them at the time, and only became less so because of the feedback I received at the gallery I was working with. I went on to exhibit them in London, but the shine had been taken off them by then, I wish I could have enjoyed it more without feeling so hurt still. I have made a frame for one and I'm pleased, I will take a picture once my camera has been charged.
Ivy has finally learnt to crawl today which is lovely, I do rather wish she could have waited a week though as the house isn't the most baby-safe place right now!
Will found on the internet that there was a craft night running weekly on Wednesdays at the local community centre, but I went up this evening (not far, it is at the end of our lane) and it was all locked up, so I guess the timetable was out of date. I visited the local second hand shop today though and found 3 lamps for the house as well as two nice wooden toys for Ivy and a record for Will.
Finally, I gave Will his birthday present already, This happens every year, I'm so impatient! It is a collage of our new home.
That's all for the minute, I'm very sleepy.
Nos da.
Welcome to the village, let me know when you are sorted and ready for some fabric. I have filled a bag for you. I have never managed to find the craft night running I think it must have folded.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I was very optimistic and thought I would get everything sorted and unpacked quite quickly - well nothing happens quickly with a wriggly 6 month old!
DeleteThat would be lovely, I will let you know when we're sorted. It would be very nice to know someone in the village as well.
Congratulations on the move, wishing you many happy years there.
ReplyDeleteI love your collage, I really want to make one of my house now, gorgeous.
Thank you! I hope that we will be able to stay still for a while now.
DeleteI am looking forward to making more drawings and collages now that we are living somewhere so inspiring. Will has put the picture of the house up in his study.
