Well have you ever known it to be possible to combine 2 different topics. My work in progress is my creative space!
I have been wanting to share this with you in the blog world for a few weeks, but have kept quiet... mainly I think we are so tired from working on it.
Its my sewing room!!
It now has plaster and a roof, and Al is installing the insulation and the down lights as we speak. Its also brought to you by my sisters husband. And funded by K.Rudd!
Its not big, its just right really. Approx 3 X 2.5mt. Its at the back of the garage, and the challenge will be to install a door through to the house, so that I can go in there while my kids are asleep and Im home alone. As it is at the moment you cant hear what happens in the house, where as if there was a door it would be ok. Only the garage is on the ground where as the house is on stumps. So the door is destined to be (affectionately) a 'doggy door'.
So anyway, I need some ideas for decorations. I plan on doing it as neutral as possible so that it doesn't reflect on what I am sewing at the time, with photos, fabric, pictures my kids have drawn all as decoration. What do you think?
Well this is a poor effort on my behalf :( 2 weeks in and I'm already a day behind.
Sundays topic is SUPRISES! By Miss Muggins
It was Easter Sunday, the day that we chose to celebrate Christ resurrecting from the grave 3 days after He was crucified.
But as for eye spy Sunday and surprises, well I'm struggling. Everyone in my life is not good at keeping surprises. I usually get either directly what I have asked for or they show me prior to me receiving it.
2 of my 4 pregnancies (well 5 pregnancies if you inc the miscarriage I had the first time) were surprises. Tyler and Ellise were both 'surprises'. In some ways it was better this way as the decision whether or when to have more kids were taken out of our hands.
Mitchells gender was a surprise to us, although we were told that he had an issue with his kidney- which most of those with this issue were boys! The others were only a surprise to the ultrasound, and mothers instinct were right in all occasions anyway. I would have liked Lilys gender to remain a surprise but the will was weak when it came to the ultrasound. And we also found that she did not have kidney issues, where as both the boys did (Mitchell was the only one requiring surgery and Tylers was resolved by the time he was born)
Mitchell and Tylers date they were born were a surprise, especially Tyler who arrived boxing day 2.5w early!
Oh that's right, a few weeks ago my kids unpacked my shopping for me. It sure was a surprise when they put most of the items in the right spot!
What else, oh our honeymoon was a surprise. It was a gift from my in laws, and it was to Tasmania. I had mentioned about 2 weeks earlier that I thought that Tasmania was a nice honeymoon destination, and the tickets had already been booked by that stage, so that was a nice surprise to be heading off on the ship the day after your wedding.
So I guess I have had a few welcome surprises in my life, it was fun reflecting!
Next week stay tuned for what Badskirt has for eye spy
A New Discovery This is the first time that I have done this eye spy. And I must admit, since hearing about it I have been racking my brain what to write about. I have never been one to be great at writing essays or stories... needless to say I am defiantly not a journalist! Its headed by Cindy and today's theme is "A new Discovery" Well my little 14mo daughter has been singing to me all day "ra ra ra ra" and I really didnt know what she was talking about. My husband ahs been away in Tassie all weekend (boys weekend!) and he knew straigt away "row row row your boat!" My discovery!! My 14mo knows Row Row Row your boat! (please note that due to daylight savings my little girl is very tired)
She also knows Twinkle Twinkle little star:
