| Badger Cottage pencil case - Lynette Anderson designs |
September is racing by - only one more week of winter sports and then hopefully life will feel less pressured! I have managed some sewing though, finishing my Badger Cottage pencil case. I even found a cute little bee charm for the zip and it goes perfectly with the bees and beehives on the fabric. I am going to use this little set for sewing things. Spring is here (yay!) and I couldn't resist buying a gorgeous bunch of daffodils which are really brightening up our table.
I am hoping to get some time in the next couple of months to get some spring cleaning done and I have written a list for my Pretty Crafty Home inspired by Sandra at Cherry Heart.
- Tidy bedroom stereo, make topper
- Re-purpose and paint shelves for kitchen
- Purchase bookcase for bedroom
- Sort and tidy craft supplies
- Purchase shelves or cupboard for laundry and tidy
- Tidy and accessorise bookcase in dining room
- Tidy and accessorise computer area
- Tidy and sort linen cupboard
- Purchase new curtains for bedroom
- Tidy bedroom chest and annual accounts
Our bedroom is still a work in progress. It is up to plastering, painting and wallpapering which is all in Paul's domain so I am just focusing on the little jobs I can do (Paul just read this and asked why those jobs are his domain, ha,ha!). This afternoon I finally sewed on the binding of the little topper I was making for my bedroom stereo. So I can tick off number one on my list. A while ago I bought a little second hand table the perfect size for the stereo and now I have a topper to pretty it up.

ReplyDeleteLove everything you've been stitching... especially your new note book cover. All those gorgous yo-yo's... cute. I daren't look at your list of to do's... sends shivvers down my spine.. good luck with the list! ;o)
ReplyDeletebeautiful! and those jobs well they are under my job description here lol. glad to say the paintbrush has to come back out soon and finish the front verandah, 5' picket fence and the back wall of the house. mmmmm how long can i put it off lol as last summer/autumn was the year of the paintbrush inside and out so for a job i normaly love doing i am feeling a little disheartened at having to pull it all out again to finish.
ReplyDeletewinge over and now to go play with fabrics lol
I am loving all your projects, especially the pencil case. Also love the list idea but sadly they dont work for me as I get distracted way to easily :) hugs
