That can only mean one thing.................yup, Mr. P's decorating.
Oh dear .................................
He assures me that one has to break a few eggs to make an omelette and he has yet to sand the floor - that's why I haven't posted for over a week, I'm knee-deep in dust!
Now in Mr. P's defense, it must be said that up until a couple of years ago he worked as a professional painter and decorator, having his own business. So he is a true professional perfectionist when it comes to decorating and, he also assures me, it all relies on proper preparation. I know that he will make a beautiful job, his 'cutting in' is a sight to behold, but, in this case, the journey is not going to be more enjoyable than the destination!
I'm feeling rather overwhelmed, the house is an absolute mess, a real migraine mess.
My kitchen table .....................................
More stuff in my kitchen ......................
and more ..............................................
Then there is the hall ..............................................
Just look at the dust everywhere!
You might ask who in their right mind decorates at this time of year and why? Well the simple answer - new 42" plasma TV arrives next Saturday. My ma-in-law has treated us.
But after all thats said and done, it
WILL be so lovely to have the living/dining room newly painted as it has not been done for over 10 years and, I must admit, I had kinda lost interest in it.
Some eye-candy to be going on with, 2 lovely gifts that I have recently received, which I shall post about tomorrow ................................
hopefully!
Just to finish (honestly), I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has left me comments and supported my new blog.

ReplyDeleteYour gifts are wonderful, lucky girl you. I bet you're having a great time looking at these.
Now there is rather a lot of mess! You are brave showing it all, but I am sure it will be well worth it!

What a super present to win - I tried to comment on your most recent post - but couldnt click on anything - so hence commenting here! Its probably me having a senior moment! Your room will be lovely its the starting thats the problem - now you can look forward to the end! **Kim**x
ReplyDeleteHi Jak I still couldnt sign in on your most recent post so hope you see this. For the crochet hearts pattern log on to www.belladia.typepad.com and look down left hand side to tutorials and you will find it there. I made one heart and then a half, edged it with red double crochet leaving a gap for button, then crochet the two together with red shell double crochet. Finally I added a couple of embroidered kisses. Hope you find this. Have a great weekend. **Kim** x

Hi Jak,
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. I'm sure you'll find out what to do to fix the comment problem and then we can really "talk".
I thought your cushion from the last post was lovely.
How about a little information about yourself? Like where you live, do you work outside the home etc.
Cheers
Helen
I'm back again. When I was looking around your blog I found your profile and lots of other stuff that did not come up in the sidebar of today's post so now I know a little about you!
