Has it really been that long???

Hello everyone!

Yes, long time no see.

It is lovely to be back and feeling rejuvinated!

I hope you are all well and happy?

I can't believe that I have been away from blogland for so long!
So, what have I been up to......
Well, of course more painting...blah! But it was my sewing room to be done so it wasn't too painful! I am so pleased to have 90% of it done. Just the wardrobe doors to put on and hang the roman blinds I have made - this ruined my back for 4 days; bending over on the floor all day was not a very good idea, don't do it people!

These are the roman blinds I made for the Kitchen. I wanted something a bit cute in here so I used Cath Kidston's Strawberries!

And these are the ones I made for the box bay window. Lincraft quoted me $1000 to make roller blinds for the large window and the two very small ones on the side. I nearly died....so I decided to make a Roman blind myself all for $100!!! Please don't look at the state of the windows - that was something I did not get done!

I have also hung pictures all over the place...I'll show you more later. It is looking much more like our home now with a few more finishing touches about.

And we let the builders back to make more mess!!! Finally our retaining wall, back patio and pergola have been done. Hubs wants to do crazy paving all over it. We will be able to sit outside on a beautiful winters day and enjoy the beautiul sunshine we have been having lately.

Besides working around the house, I have also enjoyed a wonderful weekend away at Sewjourn with a lovely bunch of gals, caught up with friends, listened to lots of great music, read books, watched movies, watched endless soccer matches, had lots of family time and just generally enjoyed life.
It feels good to be back.
