hello again,its been a while since i posted,we have been up to our ears in paint,we have not stopped again all weekend [same as the past 3 weekends]we have just finished tiling the bathroom [well hubby has] painted the porch and the conservatory, laid 2 bedroom carpets, recovered the 3 piece rattan conserve furniture, made 4 sets of curtains,painted some of the pieces as shown in photo's.my poor little dogs are all over the place as i don't have time to sit with them just lately.
you can just see the new curtains in the background, a lovely creamy colour with small beige green and brown leaves, i bought the fabric months ago and have since gone off it.
but as we are selling up i had to make the covers as well or it would of looked odd!
i have shown my hubby the fabric i really want to make the cutains and covers with and its a gorgeous pink and pale green flowers,really pretty and summery.

so if and when this place sells, i will be making my self lots more sewing to do.
but if it means i get the fabric i want then i don't mind.
these are a small handfull of my fav flowers, i have loads in my front garden and in between painting the porch and waiting for it to dry, i picked these [ just as well as the rain has really flattened them now[will take a pic tomorrow] i put a few sprigs of rosemary in and it smelt gorgeous.
we have'nt sold yet, but i bought a lot of seeds to take with me when i move, as the area i want to live in all have very large gardens [i cannot wait to start ] and after this move we don't want to move anymore! so i will be putting my heart and soul in this this place [ and using lots of floral and stripes ] hubby 's not to keen on flowers, but so far he has agreed on all my choices [ i just point him towards the fabrics and let him think he has picked the one we want .haha] he loves pastel colours,but has never picked any florals until now, so i will be on the look out for some lovely fabrics to save and take with me.
this is the front porch after i stripped all the paper off, its just awful, it has now been painted a lovely sunny lemon.the dresser outside has been sanded and ready to paint [ next job]
i now have 2 lovely sized old clotheshorse's one i'm painting white and the other a pastel blue,i have a bigger one in my bedroom with my linens draped over it [ i have a thing about
clotheshorse's always have] when ever i see a decent one i want it.
clotheshorse's always have] when ever i see a decent one i want it.this one cost pennies and its in very good condition.
i will be putting a few items on tomorrow that i am selling in my shop,along with the cream and white goods above once finished.
hope everyone had a good weekend despite the awful weather bye for now.
