We were on one of our favourite walks in the Windrush valley - stood still to watch some deer in the bottom of a field...then all of a sudden...(Click on the arrow for action movie of racing hares!)

I love hares...they have a very 'old world' almost mystical air to them. Take care, Alison x

Hello PG,
I love this picture of the hare in the thicket!
Also admit I did click on your studio cam, and have seen you hard at work. So you have inspired me twice this morning, to get going and do some work myself. Art work, that is, since I have the day off.
Cheers!

How fun. Yeah - only the occasional wild bunny here... Not nearly as mythic feeling.

Being so close to the fens we get loads of hares and are constantly flushing them out of the undergrowth during walks. Lovely beasts.Nice video! Also barn owls. Sometimes you can get right up to them before they fly off. Hubby came across 3 all sitting side-by-side on a low branch. They just watched him and he managed to get a really close look at them.

Holy Christ! Those things are huge! They're bigger than our dog Dickon!
PG said, on 3/29/2008 9:06:00 AM
Do you not get hares in America? They are indeed very big, about as big, as Mary Beth observd, as a small dog, bigger even than a Jack Russell Terrier sometimes. I startled one last year, it flew up next to me and at first I thought it was a baby deer - and you can hear them thumping the earth as they race along. We had found a dead hare earlier, probably killed by a fox, so it was good to see this pair enjoying themselves. My second favourite animal.

That's amazing! What a privilege to watch such wild creatures romp like that!

Oh, I have loved seeing these wonderful creatures...but, do you know what I have loved better than that?...the sound of your two voices as you were following them with your eyes, camera and spirits. How lovely..thank you.

Wow! when we first moved here we always used to see hares, Now we rarely see them, Sad really!

Ah, and now we know where the expression "mad as a March hare" comes from. :)

Thanks for sharing this demos!! I Had no ideia how to neddle the felt, and I just want to make bals for my cat!!! Great work you have! Congratulations!!
First of all Bradley's reaction to my living room "reveal" was very good, I think he said "holy smokes!" and loved it. The place is feeling much homier these days with just a bit of sorting, cleaning and lots and lots of painting.
The second thing that I wanted to tell you is that I picked up the September/October Blueprint and found an article about Lotta Anderson (of Lotta Jansdotter). I'm a big fan, as I'm sure many of you are as well so I thought you might like to know. I scooped up a copy and am so inspired by the stylish and artistic decor in her home and her work space in particular. The pendant lamp in her living room is exactly what I had in mind for our living room:
Lotta's living room featured in Blueprint
Now I just have to find it. If anyone knows somewhere in Toronto that stocks them please let me know!
Thirdly, I was surprised yesterday to find some clothes at Gap Body made with Liberty fabric! They also had some headbands and hair elastics with flowers also from Liberty fabric. I bought a nightie made with the gorgeous (poorly photographed) pattern above.
And finally our bathroom is not ready for a "reveal" but is dramatically improved so I'll give you some glimpses. First of all, here are some snaps of the "before". There was a bulky melamine cabinet over the toilet, bright yellow walls and matching shower curtain, with peeling paint revealing a Pepto-Bismol pink layer of paint underneath. There was a caramel colour shelf along one wall, and we put up a plain mirror temporarily. There is also an old washing machine and very old clawfoot tub. I love the clawfoot tub but it will need a bit of work - more on that in a later post.First of all we replace the box flourescent fixture with a simple round flushmount. Then we painted the walls cil's "wedding white" which I think is the perfect white, not too creamy/yellow and not too cool/stark. Very similar (I can't tell the difference from the chip) to Benjamin Moore's "swiss coffee". We removed the extra shelving on the walls throughout and lots of odd hooks that were stuck on the walls to hold clothes drying lines, etc. The shower curtain and red rug are from IKEA. We also installed a nice new chrome towel bar and toilet roll holder. After a surprising amount of effort we finally found a medicine cabinet we liked, this one is from Home Sense. I'd like to add a glass handle to it later, but it has a nickle one now that is perfectly fine. And finally, the nice plain wall over the toilet (that's right I'm showing you a picture of our toilet). We may add artwork here later but for now it's nice to have an uncluttered wall. The cabinet that was there seemed to kind of be looming if you know what I mean. For storage there's a linen closet in the hallway - a new luxury for us! So I can pretend I'm a minimalist...Still to do: window curtains, new plumbing for the tub (it leaks and has old wonky brass piping), including a new tub faucet (the old one is chrome laminate and a bit peely) a new showerhead, and a new pedestal sink/faucet to replace a melamine vanity. Also we'd like to do new flooring and install a new washer/dryer (there isn't really another place in the house to put them.) Finally if possible I love the look of beadboard wainscotting and light sconces - but we'll have to see how we do with the budget!

You're doing a great job with your bathroom! I like the cabinet you chose. I'm having difficulty finding one for our bath as well. They are either too poorly made or too expensive!
hazeljoy said, on 9/2/2007 9:46:00 AM
good work - and you're well on with it all as well. we've just finished our bathroom 3 years later. have you looked in ikea for your lampshade? there are some nice white folded/origami style ones in the uk stores.
Claire Louise Milne said, on 9/2/2007 5:15:00 PM
Thanks for the nice comments about our bathroom! Robin: I had the same problem, Pottery Barn was $289 and in quite a plain style. This one is in good condition, but some of the others had little flaws. It was $70, very good for our budget. Hazel: thanks for the suggestion, I'll have a look! And thanks for all your nice comments :-)
Jaimie said, on 9/4/2007 6:53:00 AM
I could be wrong but I think Lotta's pendant light is the classic George Nelson Saucer:

I had a look online at Ikea for you but I didn't see anything quite that shape. If you like that style I would have a look at Morba on Queen West, they always seem to have that style of pendant in the window.

Hi there,
Nice stuff you got, very interesting to read. Well, I do have also in my sleeves, if you have time don't forget to visit
A great job matching fabric to fit your room. The colors work well. Damian:)

Beadboard will be fabulous if you go that route. I love the improvements and am especially envious of the medicine cabinet you found - a glass knob will be very pretty. The shower curtain is so lovely.
