Harry finished my kitchen last night. Its all girly and retro, with a pale blue worktop. I really love it. Last week we treated ourselves to lots of new cups and saucers from GREENGATE. Plus china spoons! In red and blue and flowers....its like my dream china!
We used this paper....its from PIP STUDIOS.
Today he is starting on the living room, which is a BIG job :) but he seems to be enjoying himself. We are planning in buying a wing chair and recovering a sofa. The walls will be a tint of brown/beige and one wall with most stunning wallpaper of the shadows of butterflies!
The sun is shining, I have been scrapping and sewing. Tomorrow I have lots of Prima and Cosmo to show you :)
My stillness is giving me a peaceful soul but I am very lonely and very hurt. I cant understand some of the reasons I need to be still. I feel like I am in one of those movies. You know when someone gets wrongly accused and you get all frustrated at the TV cos you so want someone to realise that they are telling the truth and they didnt do it! But its not a movie its real and its very hard.
I have dreamt the same dream over the last 3 weeks. I am in the garden and I am hiding in my grandads shed. I look out of the window and he is strolling, in grandads way, down the path pushing a wheelbarrow. He has his sleeves rolled up on his beige shirt and his face is so brown from the sun. Suddenly my nana appears behind him in a green marks and spencer skirt with lace trim and an orange check apron. She waves at me and frantically starts saying "jo-anne can you see me....I am here can you here me ...look I am here"
Then I wake up......its exactly the same EVERY night. In fact I cant wait to go to sleep cos I know they will be waiting for me....is that strange?
I would give the world to be hiding in that shed.......
Maybe I am and I just dont know it.........
your dream is not really a dream. In dreams people that have gone to the other side can get in contact with us. For me your nana is saying that you are not alone, that she is still there with your granddad looking after you, she wants you to be aware of that.
Big hug and can't wait to see you sunday!
