Greetings all,
Well back from Sydney & we're unpacked, floors steamed, dishwasher on, washing machine done, children fed, fresh linen on beds, fridge stocked with left overs from my sister . . . plus a couple of children farmed out at friends' houses, 'twas a busy morning. Not too busy to bypass Revolve & check out what they might have in the warehouse that came in over the long weekend & i didn't know i needed . . . like this beauty!! Me thinks it was originally a fancy doll's house inspired bed head with cube storage from each side & the top shelf but for $20 & a strong man tossing it in the back of my Landcruiser with a smile, i took it without blinking.
So my eldest bashed out the panels which we couldn't unscrew as they had those weird interlocking flat pack bolts holding it in, but we removed them the fun way instead!! That's her great grandfather's hammer by the way!!
Just like that with a wipe over & rubber to erase the pencil scribbles, a gorgeous book case which isn't too heavy, so i can use it at markets or i might even loan it to Shop Handmade??!! Pretty confident it will finish life in my twinnies bedroom in our new Qld home come the end of the year when we move interstate.
So this is how we wrapped up our stay with my father-in-law who i think secretly could not believe how low maintenance my children were, they don't like television or snack between meals, they shared a bedroom & well, acted like grateful orphans visiting a real home & were pretty fabulous. They have been raised on my mantra of "only boring people get bored" & busied themselves with train sets & board games, going through my husband's old wardrobe & playing with his childhood toys!!
So in order of appearance in our lives - here are my children - aged 11 to 6.5 years.
Notice girl child number 3 with that fetching 1980's skinny tie?? She has worn it ALL weekend & quite frankly, rocks the fashion. It's not leather, but my husband did sport a skinny grey leather tie in his teens which is best left back in the 80's if you ask me!!
Had a fabulous birthday party in Bowral for my Mum, gorgeous weather, ahhhh, stunning day!!
Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend for those who got one, i should be sewing, hmmmm, should be. Love Posie
