    Oh my goodness this day dream gets better! :)
    What will you call your boat? I might call mine Rumplestiltskin or The Groke

  2. i think it'd have to be wabi-sabi :) because everything i own is and a boat will be no different :D

    "Wabi-sabi celebrates elements that are weathered, worn or rusted. Wabi comes from the root "wa" which means harmony, peace, tranquility and balance. Sabi means "the bloom of time.
     
  3. The shout was "cupsferrags", or "platesferrags" round our way

    @Merlin Cat & @Ermintrude .
    I hate to be the one to bring you both back down to earth with a bang, but have you stopped to think that you'll both be handling the woolie Y Fronts that@Barry Haynes has worn!
    Sorry to mention this especially just before bedtime (nightmares an all that) but me and @snotty had a vote on who should mention it and I lost!:oops:

  7. hahaha.... i love the concept of embracing the imperfections (I have to! :D)

    I love the japanese art of kintsugi too. i don't have any but love the idea of something becoming more beautiful and valued for being broken :)

    :eek: Fortunately as I’m in a harmonious, spiritual mood I shall channel my raggle taggle gipsy-o daydream to overpower the Y fronts nightmare. :)

  10. we'd be sending them off to a local business to wash (dding to the local economy), then i would have a small sewing room boat towed behind my main living boat where i would happily work with ALL that wool :)

    He’s got a little bambi type van that I look at when I’m driving down that road. Now I actually know the owner!!!
