There is now heating and lighting installed and the floor has had several coats of sealer. Next - more paint, sink unit and water and lots of shelves for storage.
![]() Here is the finished log cabin. I'm very pleased with the look of it and getting used to the view from the house. It's an opportunity for creative planting. I now have to decide on the paint colour and put on two coats of preservative. As the weather has turned cold I don't expect I'll get the paint on until the Spring now.

![]() I am having a shed built in the garden by a Wiltshire firm called Garden Affairs - scary and exciting at the same time. This is what it was like this morning. ![]() by about midday ![]() Lunch time - was really feeling a bit faint! This is going up SO fast - even the dog is surprised. ![]() - and by 3.30pm it has a roof. These guys don't hang around. They were on a roll. It looks quite small in the garden but rather large from the house. However, I do get a view now across the Painswick valley. It is stunning with the colours of the Autumn leaves. ![]() This is the November Journal quilt, still on the theme "blue". Last March I spent a week at a farm in Mevagissey, Bodrugan Barton, taking a workshop. This design is taken from a photograph of reflections in a swimming pool there. They reminded me of those swimming pool paintings that David Hockney painted. The technique is machine reverse appliqué. I used some of my hand dyed cotton fabric and used the microwave and a jar to over dye a small quantity of grey sheeting to get the dark blue. I have a mind to make a large piece like this, but with turned edges to get a smoother line. ![]() The original photograph with the swimming pool windows reflected in the water. |
