Nothing but the kitchen sink!

After spending 6 hours moving, picking up, filling 3 bags of rubbish
this is all I had too show for all the hard work..

Yes the kitchen sink.!!!!!




But it is the kitchen sink in the craft room
and the last time I saw it was when we viewed the house
22 months ago.
When we moved the removal men put so many boxes on top of it 
I just couldn't,t see it.
I probably need to explain why my craft room has a sink!


Well the intended craft room is in the former garage.

When the previous owners converted it 
they put a spare kitchen in there.
(I think they may have had ideas of a holiday let??!)
So I'm hoping to escape 
To this little cubby hole to create 
one day, 
(without  being disturbed.)

Well that's the plan.!!!!!!

Today I spent another six hours in there.

At least I found a socket to plug in some music today
that helped a bit

I don,t feel like I have made much progress to be honest.
The fabric is now all together , buttons and trims too.
Even the books are in one bookcase
but not in any order.
So I suppose I have made a tiny dent in it
after all.
I sorted out a bag of donations for the childrens schools
when they go back too.

Tomorrow and Tuesday 
the little ones are at summer camps
so 2 more days this week I can spend undisturbed
sorting, the  the rest of the week
the children can have my undivided attention and hopefully some fun.

My beans and tomato plants didn't,t perish with the downpours, 
in fact the beans (as beans do) have thrived with all
the rain.



I've even got a tub of free potatoes too
curtesy of the wormery.


only this single tiny pear ...pitiful!



Lots and lots of apples
And 
Then I spied this beauty hiding ,
She smells beautiful
But as we inherited her I have no idea of her name.





The Sun has been shinning all day
Maybe  it has been a
productive day
after all.


See you soon .xx

    1. I worked out we have moved 8 times and that's a lot of "collecting" , music certainly helped!
