Last week\u2019s blog<\/a> said that the focus for the coming days would be dependent on the weather which turned out to be very mixed and prevented anything outside.\u00a0 Thankfully there was plenty to be getting on with upstairs in Grange which has been the sole focus of the week.<\/p>\n

I did say that there was about a day\u2019s worth of work left to complete the insulation \u2013 which, unusually, turned out to be almost correct!\u00a0 With the insulation done I was able to start both the internal cladding and installing the connecting door between the games and storage rooms.\u00a0 For now we are using a pre-fabricated door which is quick and simple, potentially in the future I may make one of our own but for now my time is better spent on getting the place finished!<\/p>\n

I mentioned last week that many of the tasks I undertake I wildly underestimate the amount of time that they will take.\u00a0 For the lambris I am under no illusion that there are many days\u2019 worth of work to complete especially getting the windows right which took a bit of time to do the first. \u00a0Now done, and I am really pleased with the result so am glad that I took the time, the rest should be quicker.<\/p>\n

During the week both David and I have been getting creative.\u00a0 For the first time we have guests staying in Hayloft over Christmas this year so we haven\u2019t needed to decorate it before but now need to think of the best way to do so.\u00a0 Our plan is to put the tree in the bedroom but I thought that it would be disappointing not to have any sort of tree in the living area.<\/p>\n

As space is limited we were given the idea of making a 2 dimensional wall-hanging tree that we had seen elsewhere last year.\u00a0 I have enjoyed all of the carpentry and woodworking that I have done so far and, as home-made crafts are now \u2018the thing\u2019, in the margins of the Grange work I have started making a \u2018tree\u2019.\u00a0 This is it so far and I will show how it progresses.<\/p>\n

David too has been getting creative.\u00a0 Having made curtains for inside our and Priory\u2019s kitchen doors last year he had always planned to make some Roman blinds for the windows but hadn\u2019t got around to it \u2013 until now.\u00a0 This week he has made blinds for our kitchen (as well as a new lamp shade with the left over material) as practice for one to be made in Priory.\u00a0 I think they look great.<\/p>\n

This week has seen the start of the Christmas market season where the real artisans and craft people put our efforts to shame.\u00a0 We visited a market in Sizun, our closest town, and also St. Martin des Champs just outside Morlaix.\u00a0 Both had a really good range of producers and crafters including spoon whittlers and someone who creates amazing lamps out of old household objects \u2013 lots of ideas for Christmas gifts as well as things to have a stab at and decorate the g\u00eetes.<\/p>\n

This week will be continuing with the lambris and, well that\u2019s probably about it despite the weather looking like it could be absolutely fantastic for autumn but I may be able to get outside for a bit \u2026<\/p>\n
