Hello Dear Reader,
Another day and another viewing of our house. The 'feedback' wasn't great, even though they liked it the first time they came. They took a look round my house and decided everything needed replacing and re-newing. If they buy it, then they are free to do what they like with it.
I'm genuinely of the opinion that if it isn't broke then don't fix it. It was not a surprise though to hear a family say it needed a new boiler because ours was old (ours is serviced every year and works fine, is fully safe and energy efficient) that the bathroom needed 'updating' (do the new ones do something with poop that the current ones don't do?) that the flooring needed updating and so on and so on and the kitchen needed replacing as it was not 'up to spec'.
I'm looking forward to having a house that is just good enough for me. I won't be buying new furniture, or carpets (I'll just remove them and have floorboards) and if I need curtains then I'm sure to find some in charity shops or just make my own. If a room needs brightening up, then I'll find a picture at a car boot sale or charity shop and I'm sure there will be a quilt on the back of a sofa to brighten any room.
When your house has just had a bashing, then feel free to join my with a few hours quilting. This is another baby quilt for the Romanian orphanage. It just brings any of us back to reality that in the midst of updating perfectly good flooring, and replacing perfectly good kitchens and boilers and installing all singing and dancing bathrooms that somewhere some poor baby was handed over because the parents couldn't feed her.
I love the bits and pieces of my imperfect life.
I love the bits and pieces of this imperfect quilt.
I love the way it will keep a baby warm.
Until tomorrow,
