I’ve been playing about with my blog this morning while eating my toast…and I decided to add some extra blog links on the sidebar.
Even though I spend more time than I should looking at quilting blogs…so addictive…I also manage to peek at these few I’ve added when I ought to be doing other things.
I want to bring your attention particularly to From Little Acorns which I found a while back by linking from Sue’s I Sew Quilts, thanks Sue. I first *discovered* this delightful young couple years go on my favourite TV show Grand Designs. They were newly married and building there first home (an Oak Frame house) in an area of Britain I had recently visited…you know how it is, such a tenuous connection but I became interested by their story and I was delighted to find them on Sue’s blog and to see what they had been doing in the years between.
The blog list is heavily stacked towards what I have politely called House Candy…that is, it’s a chance to ogle at other people’s gorgeous homes and gardens…so if you like to do that too, there may be something there you’ll find interesting.
Til soon…
Hi Margaret,

Hi Margaret,
Thanks for the plug for them – I have had email with Mery a couple of times and they comes across as absolutely delightful people.
In fact I will be going withing a few miles of there home today to visit a friend in Herefordshire- It is a lovely county.
Border Oak houses are just wonderful and my cousin’s daughter has one set in 9 acres in Sussex. It is gorgeous .
It had always been a dream of DH and mine to build one some day- Perhaps in another life now LOL.
I love Border Oak houses. We considered having one built but we didn’t like the plots available at the time. We’ve comprised on a new build with an oak framed family room on the back. Can’t wait until we move there.
My oldest daughter has always chosen paisley but . . . she was a scientist and wondered why the manufacturers put amoebas on the fabric!
Hi Mary, LOL yes they do look like amoebas, I hadn’t thought of that before.
I just realized I replied to the wrong post! I meant to leave it with paisley. One of these days I’ll learn how this new blogland works.
