Soooo.... after getting lots of stuff out of the house yesterday, I decided to move the lounge/family/dining areas around a little:
ABOVE: Brylee, Bex and Dante helped moved all the food in the large display unit so we could move it from the lounge to the family room.
ABOVE: The dining table is now at the far end of the lounge, and I must say I really like it here.
ABOVE: This pretty painted pot is so old... it used to be my egg bowl back in the days we lived in Hamilton. That is at least 15 years ago! I loved it when I bought it, and I still do.
I'm amazed I still have it considering how often we have moved.
ABOVE: Because I put the large display unit in the family room, I had to move the shell painting into the lounge. I was worried it would be too big for the wall, but I think it looks just fine there.
The lighting isn't that good in the photo, but you get the gist.
ABOVE: another progress shot of the wall hanging for Judith. I spent 4 hours last night sewing the side sashings together and on!
Now today I shall work on the bottom sashings.
Little Tallulah was quite interested in it. She's so cute, even from an 'above' shot.
Right, I'm off to make a start on the day... hopefully I'll get a bit of sewing done, and maybe some blog reading too.
And housework. Ikkk.
ONWARD...
It would appear we are going out after lunch... to buy my Birthday present. OOOOooo fun! I know what it is (cos I told him what to get), so I'm quite excited.
Can YOU guess what he's getting me?
Present shopping done... yaaaa.
Here it is:
ABOVE: Oh! Guess what, I'm not opening it until my actual Birthday. ha ha ha! You have to wait to see what it is.
I'm sure a lot of you will already have guessed.
But no one is saying... cos you are all MIA! Having a nice day I hope?
End of Day: Well... a fairly quiet day in the house. Steve cooked a lovely Butter Chicken for dinner, which is always nice when ya don't have to cook yourself.
