Getting ready for Christmas

Sheila, you have set me off now.   I am so in the mood today for house titivating. I plan to move all my avocado, and date seedlings from the back bedroom. This time of year I keep the workshop heated to prevent all my power tools rusting... The seedlings might as well sit on the shelf in there where it will be more constantly warm than the house... hmm, that sounds odd. It implies that the workshop is warmer than the house...  Hmmmmmmn, come to think of it. It often is.  Maybe I should just move into the workshop.
I won't know what to do with all the space in the craftroom  spare bedroom. I will actually be able to find the bed underneath all those plants. In truth the room has become a bit of a glory hole. I have craft stuff just pushed any old how out there. I think it is time for another purge.  I may be brave enough to show a before and after picture... or maybe I will be too ashamed of the state it is in and just show an after shot.  Call back later for a peep and see how I am getting on with the purge.

Later today I will take a few photo's of my growing houseplant collection. I am loving filling the house with greenery and have plenty of room for more.  I asked Tony to buy me a new plant when he feels the urge to buy flowers. I much prefer having a beautiful variegated plant that I can keep forever. It will give me a nice purpose for an old hobby too. I plan to make a load of paper pulp flowers and shapes to stick on my cheap plastic plant pots. I will paint them all in toning colours .  That won't be until next year though as the paper will need time try dry outside in the sunshine. In the meantime, I had better go and make a start.... after I have another cup of tea.
