Texture Tuesday

I found this great path on a spur-of-the-moment drive to Daylesford and Hepburn Springs with a girlfriend on Sunday. We set the GPS to Daylesford, stopped off at the information centre, explored the main shopping area and then meandered our way between a couple of attractions recommended to us by Irish-Jim at the Info Centre (along with everyone else who'd found their way to the area that day!)

We had a great day, discovering lots of places to go back to. A lovely area, even on a cold, wintery, overcast day!

It Starts....

Yesterday I took the first step in looking for a new home... I hate open for inspections because the house suddenly gets flooded with lots of other hopeful-tenants checking rooms, looking in cupboards and planning whether their furniture will fit. It also means that you don't get much of a chance to meet the agent or make an impression - and to me that's what wins a rental.

I'm also loathe to get too excited about a place until I know that it's mine because otherwise I get disappointed... BUT the place I saw yesterday would be perfect!!! The right number of rooms, cupboards in the right places, a decent kitchen and bathroom, not to big, enclosed yard, and dog friendly, patio area with outdoor furniture, close to work and in a nice looking area, but the real clincher... was the studio/bungalow out the back! I've put my application in and now I'll just have to wait and see but in the meantime I'll be out looking at other places.

Oh and my cryptic texture/pattern photo from yesterday was...

The patterns that the neighbours tiled roof makes when through a glass tile. Amazing huh!!

Contours...

I love textures and pattern... This is one that I found around the house this morning. Any ideas what it is?

Studio is evolving...

Ok so the studio is mess... but in an effort to force myself to get it sorted I'm going to puclicy humiliate myself by posting pictures *grin*....

I promise you - it's not pretty... and I'll understand if you need to look away :)



I have managed to find homes for some things...

Here is the wardrobe nicely packed up (arghh!!! no shelves - should have thought of that in the planning stages of the new house...)


I really need to get the bookshelf finished so that I can unpack the rest of the boxes and find the floor and the work table. I need to do this so that I can set the sewing machine up and get cracking on the blinds and THEN I can maybe start something more fun and creative!!

OK so enough domestic stuff... onto something semi-creative. I'm intrigued by pattern and texture and have found that when you're building we are surrounded by interesting patterns and textures.
