During... my bedroom

Just pictures today. I have a metre of ironing to do. Mostly shirts belonging to my Dearest One, but I am on a roll and want to get the kitchen tidier!

    Look at you go! You are a woman on a mission I can tell.

      There's nothing more dangerous than a woman on a mission....

    Yes, stay on that roll! Sometimes you have to let things build up to such a point that you just think "Right!" and then you get motivated and crack on. I need a deadline to kick me up the arse, or else I just faff around for ages. Moving house meant that we did some spectacular de-cluttering last year and actually it was really liberating. x

      We moved house 14 years ago when I was 7 months pregnant. I didn't do ANY decluttering at that time, and almost no organised thought emerged. I'm hoping to feel liberated as well. I don't think I've ever cleared quite as comprehensively as this year; I've been brutal with myself!

    I've been decluttering too. There's a huge pile of stuff to be taken to the charity shop and I went to the dump yesterday with several tins of dried up paint, unused, battered kitchen equipment and empty boxes from items we no longer own but kept 'just in case'. You look as if you are doing well. There are just three of us and we create lots of clutter so it must be even more tough with five of you. Don't forget to take some time out too. Holidays coming to an end soon and I've made the mistake before of spending too much time on chores and not enough actually relaxing.

      Don't worry, I have downtime scheduled as well! This week there is no decorating planned, and next week is a week of washing and packing.

    I have a matching ironing pile apart from a couple of shirts it will be put away un ironed - one day maybe! Good luck with you decorating, we've just finished my mums house & I have no wish to see another paint can for a while!

      I iron nothing if I can get away with it. Mr AJ still has 75cm worth of ironing, but I can see the kitchen wall behind, so that's better!

      There is still a metre of ironing, but that's because I've been washing. Big mistake.

How did you start writing your blog?

And when you got your first comment how did you feel? I found a new blog friend this week and commented on her post, then another and then another. I like reading back posts when I find a new person. It makes them more of a full personality to me. But it got me thinking; how did I start writing my blog? And when did I get my first comment (and who off?) My first post was called Angel Jem; From Mess to Less.  Ho hum, that aim has never quite happened, has it? And my first commenter was the lovely Cherry Menlove. I'd been a blog-hopper for ages, had been leaving comments on others blogs and then decided I should probably dip my toe in and go for it. Cherry Menlove was one of my favourite reads, and I was delighted that she stopped by and commented! Back then (2007) there didn't seem to be that many blogs out there. Everybody knew Posy and Yarncraft and Cherry Menlove and Dottie Angel , and people popped up for a few years and then disappeared. Some blogged to promote...

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...

Oh. My. Goodness. The Birth of a Firm part 1

-
Who knew that having a new business was just like having a new baby? No, don't laugh. Listen to this story. It was about a year and a half ago that Mr Angel Jem read this book, The Litigators, by John Grisham. I love JG, I read a lot of JG for the same reason I watch a lot of courtroom dramas and sit on a Sunday watching football. Mr AJ likes them, so there's a lot of it about and it's well worth sharing an interest together (and, no, he CANNOT crochet, although his Mum used to dressmake and he has a lot of respect for useful crafts.) The role of the book is crucial in our story. The hero, David Zinc, has it all; a good job in a big firm, a big BIG firm. But it takes all his time and he is working for the firm. So one day he walks out. Just goes, sets off, gets well drunk in a bar and wanders off to a very dubious part of town where he meanders into a 'boutique' (meaning small) law firm and asks for a job. We were in London. Seriously. Staying for a week in...
