I moved in Sunday night. Claimed my space and made my room all beautiful yesterday. I really enjoyed it, creatively finding a home for my treasures and making my room homely. I misplaced a couple of special belongings in the move, my beautiful blue art Deco lamp and my ukulele? Hopefully they will be found amongst the things that went to Hexham, or maybe they are in the Victorian chest which is the only place I haven't yet unpacked. My Mum came over and brought sandwiches and a picture hanging kit along with extra candles and moral support. She did the glorious Mum thing of wiping down all my surfaces, and helped me to hold Indian wall hangings long enough for me to draw them into the very sturdy walls with drawing pins.
151 is a busy house, filled with many things, my new house mates are all really lovely.
Today I woke up and had my favourite kind of pottering morning, then walked into town to have coffee with lovely Katie Sutton and do some bits and pieces of shopping, namely present buying for Willow and Grace. It was hard to choose a puppet for Willow, who is going to be 8 but I decided on a Mr Foxy who has a cheeky glare.
This afternoon I pottered back, came home to tea with house mates and more chats, then on to Jo's this morning who is a few days off her due date for a meal with Jo's closest female friends and a time to be together and bless the babe.
We all gave Jo a bead to wear at her birth. I choose a fertility shell and turquoise and mother of pearl. There was a thread of blue and different sizes. We all wrote a prediction, a piece of advice and a promise to Jo in a book and sang 'Belle Mamma.' It was a really affirming night and a lovely space to support Jo in her own power.
Early night tonight, I'm sat in candle light, Bridesmaids shopping tomorrow for the gorgeous Sophie bright and early in the Metro-centre then hopefully some sunshine at the allotment.
