I must show you this really gorgeous card that my pal Kath made for me to cheer me on with my new Fiskars job. She has been so supportive, I have had a rather steep learning curve and she has held my hand for hours (albeit over the phone) and even mopped up a few tears, so a huge thank you to her for her support, and for this gorgeous card. In case you have never visited her blog, you will find her HERE and read about her (very funny) adventures with her dog Buddy, as well as seeing gorgeous creations like this one......
Our house is sold! All that tidying and clearing paid off. Now the next adventure is to find somewhere to live, so look out for some house hunting tales from me. We have done some quite bizarre house viewings over the years (we have moved house a lot). I remember one house in Gloucestershire where we looked out of the window and Mike whispered 'look at that dead donkey' - there in the field was this enormous donkey, laid out flat, looking dead. By the time we got back down into the kitchen there had been a miracle healing and the dead donkey turned out to be the family dog who was very much alive and the biggest hound I have ever seen. Honestly if they put a saddle on him they could have made a fortune at the seaside taking kids for rides on the sand.
Apparently he spent most of his life motionless, stretched out in the field, and only came into the house looking for food. He was looking longingly at my upper arm, so we beat a hasty retreat......we didn't buy the house....
Then there was.................no, I'll save that for another day, see you tomorrow x
congratulations on your job with Fiskars! It's a beautiful card. Sounds like a lovely friend : ). And thank goodness it wasn't a dead donkey
ReplyDeleteI admired that card yesterday on the F/b page, really nice. Can't wait to hear about your house-hunting - good luck!
ReplyDeleteI follow Kath's blog as well as yours, and I love all her creations. You're so lucky to have her as a personal friend. Good luck with your house-hunting.
ReplyDeleteSince your house is sold I hope that you find one soon. It was a little bit funny to read about Gloucestershire here. Usually I find that when I am doing genealogy. My Dad's family came from there many moons ago. Very pretty card that you received.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card from Kath. No doubt she would have you laughing through the tears. It's been a stressful time for you so Good Luck in finding your forever home. Hugs Rita xxxx
ReplyDeleteStunning card ... and the sentiment couldn't be more fitting. That was so thoughtful of Kath.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will take this as a compliment to your entertaining writing skills when I say that I am looking forward to hearing the tales of your humorous house hunting adventures.
Top of the house hunting list needs to be the luxury garage complete with comfy chairs and coffee table...Buddy says you are welcome to bunk up with him in the cubbyhole in the meantime xxx
ReplyDeleteO wow that was quick...sold in one blog post...LOL. I follow Kath's blog too and saw the sweet card she made you. Good luck with finding a new home.....or perhaps you already have......! x
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Enfys, selling so quickly. I so look forward to reading your house hunting adventures in the blog posts to follow, good luck and happy hunting. Sue x

Kath is a super talented lady, the card is just beautiful Enfys. So glad she has been there for you. Congrats on selling the house, that's one hurdle jumped! Looking forward to more funny stories lol.
ReplyDeleteKath's card is very nice and so sweet of her to send that to you, be by your side and support you through your learning curve.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on selling your home and best of luck in finding a new one! They say "when it rains, it pours" and I do believe you're in that situation right now. Hang in there and take baby steps! Have a great day!
Beautiful card from Kath. Good luck with the house hunting, our house that we have lived in now for over 15 years was the first house we looked at, so we were really lucky to find just what we were looking for so quickly.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to hearing all your house hunting stories
What a lovely card from Kath, love the words she's put on it. Good luck with house hunting, do you plan on staying in the same part of the country? Pat x
ReplyDeleteGreat card by Kath. It must be wonderful to have crafty friends like her helping you get started in your new job. Congrats on selling the house and good luck with the house hunting.
ReplyDeleteLovely card. Great job Kath! There's so much to look at. Love the stitching, and the words of support for you, En. I feel guilty, as I've not been to your FB page in awhile. I will do better. I'm on vacation, and as long as I'm in the motel, I have WiFi. But we've been busy visiting friends and family. But I'm in today, resting the old body, so I'm off to Facebook. Can't wait for more house hunting tales. Glad you sold this one. Hope you get a good crafting space in the new one. Hugs, Jess
ReplyDeleteThe card is just beautiful -- you're so fortunate to have such a great, crafty friend! Kath seems quite the person, her blog and "escapades" are delightful. Enjoy your new job, and your house hunting!
ReplyDeleteAnother of Kath's followers - in fact I 'found' you through Kath. At first I thought I was on the wrong blog when I saw the card LOL! Well done on the sale and I hope all goes smoothly with the house hunting - are you coming back to Wales?
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card. It's so nice to have a special friend who understands what you are going through. Wow, real estate must be moving as fast there as it is in Washington state. Congratulations! Hopefully you will find a place with a nice big area for your craft room.
ReplyDeleteIsn't wonderful to have a crafty friend like Kath. I love he card. Congratulations on the sale of your house. Best of luck house hunting. Hope your next home has an entire room for you to craft in. :D
ReplyDeleteFabtastic card. Congrats on selling the house. Your story reminds me of a day at the beach when I had read the sign saying water quality today - Excellent, only to see a bloated dead goat floating in on the tide. If that's excellent I hate to think what a bad day would look like ROFL. Hugz
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card! Congratulations on selling the house, and I can't wait to hear the moving stories. (there will be moving stories, right?) I hope you have a nice new room to place all of your goodies soon!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Congratulations on selling your house! I am really looking forward to more house buying tales! xxx
