A little progress

We are all booked to move to Vince's place next Thursday. His cabanas are a little out of town, a little tucked away in a scary forest type wood but closer to our land. They are also close to the Pacific Bay Hotel that now does an 'all you can eat' pasta night and Vince has an onsite pizza restaurant that only opens twice a week and is fully booked every time... So I think I will survive in our new surroundings!!

We enjoyed our meeting with Austin and his wife Michelle to discuss our house plans further. We have since been searching the internet for doors, windows, flooring, etc that we like. I have fallen in love with this Glitter floor;

but my 'ever so practical' man has reined in my crazy girly wants and we have agreed on a floor similar to this one;

with perhaps a little colourful tile, china piece, sequin and or glitter squeezed in between. With such a wide variety of amazing ideas to search through, think about and then convince the man about, I became a little overwhelmed and had to step away from all the 'Home Ideas' pintrest's and lie down.

After my 'moment' I relaxed back into my new crochet project...

It's not hard to notice the huge abundance of plastic bags here in Nicaragua. They are used in every shop, every market, every home and every bin and as a consequence there is also a shit load laying around as litter. I got to thinking about how they could be recycled and I found that you can only bloody use them to knit and crochet with!!! Here is my work so far...

A sunglasses case...

and a bag...

I plan to make a few more and see if anyone is interested. Despite the fact that the bag nearly blew away today in the wind, I love it and will be using it regularly to carry all my light weight goods!!

We are off to Managua tomorrow to see what treats they have to offer...
