My Creative Space

No fun creativity here... just trying to get quotes for some kitchen modifications to prevent my oxygen from sending me up in flames when I cook....

Hopefully there's something much more interesting going on here!

PS - I'm already struggling to keep up with Blogtoberfest. My google reader has gone crazy and there haven't been enough hours in the day to visit everyone, but I have been reading - never fear! I'm hoping to make my way through the list to visit everyone by the end of the month!

From the archives?

2010 seems such a long time ago now - especially after celebrating the new year twice.

I was cleaning up some of my photo folders, and realised that I'd actually never blogged the final photos from my mini-reno.

The furniture was moved in, the photos were put up, and I promptly headed off on holidays. This is such a lovely spot to sit on a sunny morning now - and nice and clean now that it's no longer outside!

Another thing that I never got around to blogging about was this gorgeous doily garland that Michelle from Midge and Judy sent me as a little get well suprise last year. It fits perfectly between the two windows in my living area, and is a lovely colourful distraction from the air conditioner.

Pop back in for a visit tomorrow, and I'll have some photos of my finished craft area reno.

My Creative Space - sort of...

It's taken a few weeks, but my new dining room is finally taking shape today.

The underlay has gone down....

....and the boards have been laid. Now there's just the trim, and I can move the furniture in!

Maybe I should organise a cuppa and a biccie for the guys after that, so they can then get busy with my craft space (which is far more exciting than the dining room).

Progress...

This was my little outdoor nook before work began on Thursday (and yes, I do have a lovely view of the neighbours laundry door and clothesline... thanks for asking).

In progress - tea break

All installed - I had the builders move my old curtain pole (which is far too short) and curtains (which are also too short) for the moment, until I organise another solution

I've ordered my new wooden floating floor, so as soon as it's installed, I'll be able to move the furniture in and decorate.

The glass sliding door on the right of this photo leads into my craft space. You can probably see the ironing board through the window.

I might need to start organising a dining room warming very soon!
