Its been a rainy day today so lovely to have some time at home to catch up on the things which have gotten away from me as we have been busy with the new school year for A1 and A2 starting pre-school. I have also included the long-promised first blog post on my list of things for today.
First though, an update on the tomato situation- it looks as though we may have an abundance of Green Tomato Relish this year. The tomatoes are stubbornly green, despite sunny days and high temperatures all week.
Over the summer holidays, we went looking for a storage solution for A1 and A2's ever expanding collection of dress up clothes. Their new dress-up cupboard has been an excellent replacement for the boxes previously used. The cupboard was $20 from the local materials recycling facilty. After it was sanded back and a primer coat or two, we painted it sage and cream. Once we get some time for a trip to a hardware store to choose handles it will be finished!
While we were at the MRF, I also picked up these two chairs. They are still waiting to be sanded, painted and for me to make seat pads for them.
And finally (because I shouldn't include every single project in my first post) the roman blinds I printed.
It is not the best photo- and forgive the view into the garden shed. This is the view out of my sewing room into our backyard.
This photo of our kitchen window is also not great, it was hard to get good light. I used stencils from this
book which I love. The kitchen blinds are in sage green, the sewing room is orange.
Looking back on these images I don't feel so bad for not finishing (actually not even starting) the chairs because I did get quite a lot done over the holidays. Next post will include some quilts and sewing I promise.
