Gordon's Kitchen parts 5 , 6 and 7

Good morning ;)
I seem to be managing a 2 week posting schedule in the moment. But I thought I would not be able to post …. my laptop was not charging , no power going in . Thankfully my son's magic fingers and brain sorted the problem. This old baby is already 6 years old again , so I might have to look into a new one soon. At this age it's not worth a repair or buying a new battery anymore. Touch wood , fingers crossed it survives a bit longer still.

The living room is done, including a big bay window which needed painting. Here some pics- it looks nice and bright now.
 My new shelves , I still have to re-pack some things .
 Also , a new rug in front of the desk. (ignore the fresh laundry waiting for ironing on the chair ,lol)
I still have to hang up a few pictures on the walls .

 My blanket is slowly taking shape . I have another small bag full of finished squares, plus about 40 more to knit. I should have it ready in another year ;)
That's because the subscription only sends me 1 square material and patterns per week , but I have bought some extra yarn to speed it up and make a border in the end . I might even make it larger than the original 12 x12 squares.

And... OMG ! ….IT WAS COLD LAST NIGHT!!!
Temperatures went down to 11 C/51 F during daytime and 6 C/ 43 F last night. They say it will get warmer again middle of the week , so I have not turned on the heaters yet. But I had to get out the warmer clothing and sit here in a fleece sweater and thick socks right now ;)

On that note , I will give you the links now, because I need to go to bed . I have another nightshift to do later tonight and need my beauty sleep.
Today you will get 3 zip files -papers  borders and a mat, and baking goods.
This is just a little paper preview .These will be in one of the folders.

Finally more of Gordon's Kitchen kit

Hello again,
I'm only a week late with this ...nope, not apologising because I've been so busy I just had to prioritise.
I could feel myself getting more and more tired and stressed , so I needed to put myself into "time-out" , cut down on things and take more rest.
Work, decorating, garden ,challenges , blog ...it was getting too much in one go.
Work obviously comes first-bills have to be paid. The garden second. It's harvesting time , I still have to water every day and we had to cut the hedge and bushes because they were taking over and stealing the sun from the other plants. I'm still fighting snails , but I'm winning as long as I keep it up ;)
I have not touched a paintbrush for watercolors in 2 weeks, but the paintbrush for walls, door frames and skirting boards is getting a lot of use.
I need to get the windows winterproofed and notice that one doesn't shut. So I need to have someone come and repair it.
It was also time to get some warmer clothing out of storage. The early mornings and nights are getting quite cool now.

On the positive news , my desk and workspace are done and I love it !
I even got a decal with owls on a branch on the wall :)
I have so much more space with this L - shape corner desk.
And the floating shelves have plenty pf room for my large pen ,pencil and marker collection.

All I need now are new large bookshelves for my books, boxes , files and sketchpads .
Oh yes...and time ...I need more time !

Well, it's 8.35 pm ...I have to be up at 4.30 am , so I better give you the links and get ready for bed.

 Today I give you the second lot of backgrounds and more essential kitchen items.
