It’s ALL about ME!

Posted by Elemental Grace on Jul 8, 2010 in I Don't Know What the Hell I'm Talking About

I’m feeling intolerably lazy about blogging and I really do absolutely love memes, so here are 25 so-called interesting facts about me: I experience wordjoy. Particular favourites include: frond, effervescent, collywobbles, ignite, anthropomorphic, meringue and renege. On the other hand, I also have a list of words that I don’t like. Particularly unjoyful are: lithe, [...]

Defying Gravity

I downloaded the Glee Album last night (I’m an unashamed Gleek. Don’t judge me), and have been playing it incessantly since and is often the way with songs and lyrics, there was one particular song that mentally attached itself to my subconscious and found me identifying hugely with the lyrics: Defying Gravity from the musical [...]

Hobnobs and Hobgoblins

Posted by Elemental Grace on Mar 15, 2010 in I Don't Know What the Hell I'm Talking About

You know when you sign up to some social networking site or other, your facebook, or twitter or whatever and it has the inevitable box telling you to describe yourself. It’s so completely impossible to condense yourself down to a couple of sentences, or a short paragraph; to find a phrase that adequately sums you [...]

Mismatched Socks and Secret Quirks

Today I went to a photo shoot with Venture Studios, which was a 30th Birthday present from my sister (she’s such an inspired wee genius!) and had the MOST fun and the doggies were SOOOO well behaved. Getting dressed this morning was a thought provoking experience and I’ll tell you why. The studio had suggested [...]

Shifting Sands

Posted by Elemental Grace on Feb 5, 2010 in I Don't Know What the Hell I'm Talking About

I woke up today and decided my attitude needed a shift. I had a rough few weeks a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve been feeling a little sorry for myself on and off ever since. Self-pity just isn’t my bag. Like flourescent yellow, it just doesn’t suit me. Some things I wanted didn’t turn [...]

Precioussssss….

Posted by Elemental Grace on Feb 4, 2010 in I Don't Know What the Hell I'm Talking About

Sometimes, right out of the blue, something happens that forces you to open your eyes to yourself, and when that happens, sometimes what you see isn’t what you’d like it to be … and sometimes that hits you like a fist in the solar plexus. It’s not a good feeling. Yesterday I got sucker-punched by [...]

A paradox in social media

Posted by Elemental Grace on Oct 14, 2009 in I Don't Know What the Hell I'm Talking About

Technology isn’t my first love, but I can see its uses in many of the social media going on today. I have accounts with facebook, linkedin, myspace and so on but each of them, to my mind, carries a function. They share separate parts of me with different people. LinkedIn enables me to share my [...]

Autumn and Friendships

Posted by Elemental Grace on Oct 9, 2009 in I Don't Know What the Hell I'm Talking About

A midday Friday post as I am gathering the courage to get my sewing basket out and start dealing with the giant pile of mending that has been growing in the corner of my bedroom for a number of weeks, that I have time to tackle now that I have a kitchen ceiling again. I’ve [...]

Kitchens Ahoy

Sorry to be a bit remiss with the posting, but the last couple of weeks have largey been spent trying to make some sense of the kitchen units, sans instructions and getting the tiles down. Progress has been a bit slow but here are the photos of progress so far: Chaos in the kitchen as [...]

Award Winning Builders

In a mad bid to get the kitchen finished this week, my fabulous builders Martin and Sue from the Green Earth Construction Co have been working late and especially hard. I think they are two of the loveliest people on God’s earth and I am SO glad I got them to do the work on [...]

Promises, promises….

It’s a lovely spring morning in Somerset, and so I took the dogs out to play whilst delivering some postcards to local businesses, plugging my new website. If you happen to know of anyone in need of a good web designer, I’m your gal. A shameless plug, I know … but a girl’s got to [...]

Waiting impatiently

In search of contrition for my absence for my absence from blogland, I offer a full confession to you. It’s been utterly chaotic for the last couple of days, and my camera ceased to function, which sadly resulted in no photos for your edification and delight, and me collapsing into bed last night with a [...]

Kitchen update

Not a long one today as utterly exhausted. Came home on Friday to find the kitchen wall demolished and the downstairs bathroom totally taken out – woop! See photos below. My builder and his girlfriend are wonderful people. On a not so cheery-making note, the company who’s supplying my furniture ‘forgot’ to make my bookcases [...]

Thoughts on homes and minimalism

Reading February’s edition of English Homes, I found a wonderful quote by an interior designer called Mark Wilkinson, which articulately encapsulates many of my feelings about the way I choose to decorate and organise my home: “Minimalism is a kind of emotional bankruptcy … a refuge for those who do not understand the grammar of [...]

Filling the Void…

Since my hands are a little tied with the actual decoration of the house (on account of small things like building and demolition) I have been fiddling with small, pretty things… My kitchen table and chairs arrived the other week. That is to say, being strictly accurate, that my table arrived, along with some sticks [...]

Bathroom: Installation in progress….

The chap from building control arrived this morning, to get to grips with the drainage situation for the new bathroom. It got a little complicated when we discovered a second drain hidden under the flagstones (bad, bad previous owners!) and this is the current state of my rear courtyard. Touch wood, it will be all [...]

Bathroom: Days 2,3 and 4

It is, of course, utterly impossible that anything can go smoothly. In my life, things just don’t. They bump along, getting caught in jams and pickles, scraping their knees and courting disaster at every turn. This is nothing new, but simply one more thing to accept with a hidden grimace, whilst fervently praying under your [...]

Bathroom: Day 1

Well the builders are here, they are lifting carpets, and hammering the hell out of various stud walls, to work out where various pipes go and whether they’re needed … so I’m letting them get on with it. The good news is that we’ve discovered original floorboards under the (soon to be) bathroom, so the [...]

Love and Freedom in a Little City

I’ve been trying to find a coherent way of writing this blog for a while. I have been thinking swirling abstract thoughts about it for a while, in an effort to explain what made me up sticks and move to a place where I don’t have a job, I don’t know anyone and I don’t [...]
