New Project


We've had this frame sitting up under the apple tree. Jase decided on Saturday (while I was in Clyde running a communication workshop) that it was time to build! He has been scavanging all around the house and yard for bits to complete this project - He is even lining it & putting vinyl in! There will eventually be a porch and maybe a deck out front. He has made the window size match a piece of clear perspex he found too. There's going to be a working tap (at an old sink on the outside of the hut) too! He managed to pick up some roofing off cuts from a roofing place in Frankton so it's going to be pretty cool - the girls have been out with their resene colour swatch working out colours they could paint it - pinks have rated highly so far but I'll keep you posted on that one!

How cool is that you are so lucky to have a hubby who is good at doing things like that. Hope you get a LO of the whole process include paint swatches.

Looks like fun ... and as if the kids are expecting it to be finished very very soon (a bit like me and my art room)
Hope it all comes together in good time.

We inherited a Wendy House with our current house that is painted the same colour scheme as our house and even have austrian blinds. My kids don't really use it now but visitors do. Our last home had a cool log cabin (courtesy of the neighbours, a builder, who broke down the fence between us to pass it over). Don't kids love their own space?

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!
