Hi folks,
more spring cleaning malarkey for me today,
I'm almost finished with the living room, thank gawd!
I'm almost finished with the living room, thank gawd!
Eventhough I've meticulously hoovered in every corner & wiped down every inch of wall it doesn't take long for yet more dust to appear on the furniture, argh!
I'm glad I'm not OCD about this cause I'd have no hands left after a week :(
That's the real bugger when it comes to cleaning, you get desert grade dry hands.
I won't wear rubber gloves and as a result I've now got the hand skin of a seventy-year-old.
Never mind, I'll just have to treat my hands to a little oil massage when I find the time.
This is what our livingroom looks like now...
A little closer look of the fabrics...
In last weeks cleaning related post I told you about how I was slimming down the bulk of our bookshelves.
All those books that were just taking up shelf space where dispatched to a friend of ours and we are now left with a (by my standards) a Feng Shui'd set up, one that is not groaning under the dead weight of tatty sci-fi novels from the seventies or crapola from the charity shop free-bee-book-box.
Like I said in the last post, it is still cluttered but that's just me, I like it that way!
Atleast now it won't take half a day to locate a book, when one springs to mind :)

I've made some tweaks on my compy too today, changed to firefox cause I wasn't able to comment on my fave blogs and it was telling me to get rid of cookies...whaaa?!
I can comment now but everything else seems to have gone a bit odd...not sure?
I'll have to ask the expert when he gets back from work tomorrow, hubby knows these sort of things, where as I am fresh out of the cave when it comes to technological matters.
The picture above is of some dainty glasses that I bought from the car boot sale yesterday,
I'm cleaning the bar cabinet tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to squeeze them in there.
I also got this 60s needlework book yesterday & I'll leave you with some of its pictures...
Fab, I especially love that first jumper.
Peace & love,
Jem

Go Jem! You've turned into an ace cleaning machine by the looks of it. Lovely warm colours in your lounge, very inviting. I've always used Firefox, I reckon its way better and far easier to customise.xx.
Love those knitting patterns.
We have shelves like that in our living room too! :) I have an entire collection of Kinder Egg toys... nightmare to clean them!!
Doesn't it feel good to have a big clean up? I love getting rid of stuff almost as much as I love procuring it!
I love your day bed and the beautiful jewel tones in your living room. I would fall asleep the minute I sat on that lounge!

Hi Jem!
Haven't you done well? I'm the world's worst housekeeper, no wonder no-one's ever married me. I only clean up when we're throwing a party.
I love those stylised pussycats, they have such suspicious little faces.
Loads of love,
