Family Parties are the best.... but how come everybody else knew?

I have had a lovely time this afternoon and just wanted to capture it before the time flies by and I don't get a chance;



My lovely niece R had her birthday today; 19? 20? I can't remember! 19, I think and.... she got engaged as well!! So it was a double celebration. Now, obviously I knew it was her birthday, but I didn't realise that she had got engaged as well!!! I must have been out of the room when it was told to my family. Now I have to ring her up and say something to her instead of giving her a hug an da congratulations. My only worry is if she thinks I didn't say anything for a reason (disapproval or something like that)
Regardless, it was a good day and I wanted to put the pictures up here. It sort of fits in with my catching life philosophy this year; I want to save the memories to look at again. Of course I took photos and here are some;

    How lovely. I'm sure your niece will understand when you tell her you didn't hear the news. That would happen to me, I'm always the last to find out anything.

    How lovely! I am sure that your niece will understand - and she was probably so busy that she didn't even notice that you didn't mention it. A great celebration! xx

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be

"small elements of my home that I do not detest and that I have photographed so as to eliminate all traces of dirt and detritus". I love reading all the blogs on my list. I love reading all the house books that I can lay my hands on, ripping them to pieces and sticking them into my inspiration books. I won't get into how much more time I have to actually do things around my house if I don't go on t'internet and how much more money I would have available if I didn't have this programmed need to buy buy buy ..... I admire the true homemakers, I really do. I have a hankering to have a successful business, clean house and a family who can find matching socks without looking in three different places and finally finding the match half way behind the sofa cushion where it's been for three weeks so that I have to wash it before they can wear it and they either have to wear it wet, in which case I worry about pneumonia, or start again on the quest for a pair with
