Almost Friday AGAIN!

I felt sure I had posted only a couple of days ago but here we are again at almost Friday.
I have had a busy week as I have two art related weekends coming up the first commencing tomorrow. A group of art friends who have been taught by Sandra Temple join her and have a little mini exhibition. It's a lovely thing to be a part of.
So I  have been packing cards...

Books...
A few little handmade Christmas decorations.
And some unframed drawings...
All for sale over the weekend. There will be lots of beautiful artwork too. Our motto.....must be handmade......I love visiting our Botanical Gardens.....so that's my weekend sorted! Hopefully time for a few inspirational art photos as well.
I enjoyed a lovely day yesterday stitching with my friends. I worked away at 1797 Revisted....it is wonderful to feel invisibly connected to a needlewoman from yesteryear who worked this coverlet in the year 1797.
And last night I finished round 6.
It is obviously taking a lot longer to stitch a round now lol!
Hubby has finished his lastest bit of painting.......we are now whiter and brighter.
I tried to find a photo of what it looked like before but this is the only one I could find....
Excuse the woman with the quilt!
I also had on the kitchen side a very cumbersome shelving unit....so I decided that it had to go and is  doing duty downstairs under the house for tv holding for hubby.
I replaced it with an old vintage hospital beside cupboard I have that a friend replaced the door paneling on with his beautiful lead light work.
Hubby CANNOT understand why I will not let him sand off the old crazed paint and give it a brand new coat. Lol! Call me crazy but I LOVE it just how it is!
So that is the week that is almost done and dusted.
Whilst I could sit here writing to you and listening to my Magpie family warbling away outside in the Jacaranda tree to each other all day.....chores await me.
Have a lovely day.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

  2. I hope your sales go well, a nice assortment you have managed to put together. I love natural wood generally but that really looks lovely white - makes it so much more spaciaous and your green and reds for Christmas will show up so well!!
    Happy stitching...

  5. What a sweet post Michelle. I love your new white and bright rooms, and totally agree with your views on the antique cupboard - it must stay as is! The 1797 quilt is a nice project, and your colours as always look just perfect. xx

  7. My daughter is having the same problem in the house they moved to a couple of years ago - dark wood everywhere, so they are slowly going through with white paint (with lot of DH's help). It makes the place look so much brighter and bigger.
