Hello Dear Reader,
I've got one week before we're off on holiday part two. We had a week catching up and by the end of the week it was time to get on with getting on. DB is working upstairs and painting and I'm working downstairs. Luckily, we have a discount store called Trago near us and bought exterior paint, kitchen and bathroom paint and some chalk paint to tart up a bit of furniture for £35.
The back of the house has had a scrub as the sea gull population have used it as target practise. I've been at it with soapy water and scrubbed the walls and I'll be up the ladder and painting asap! Inside, I have a small 'back porch' which doubles as my utility room and drying space. It's had two coats of exterior paint and is looking much brighter. I'll get some floor paint and tackle that next.
I'm working on a quilt that's not going to finish itself and I want to get the top finished before I go away. Unusually, this us a quilt for me.
It's truly back to thrifty of sewing, DIY, pottering and cooking and y'know what? I love it xx
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs
