There's something about this cross stitch that reminds me of my new home. Its hanging on the wall in my craft room at the moment and I'm coming up with a longer term solution that doesn't look too twee!
I've decided to update my look at least in blog terms. Crafty mermaid just doesn't feel 'me' any more. I've set up a new blog and look forward to seeing you there! https://sewmancer.blogspot.com/
We've had a tonne of house projects this year and currently the house's siding is being fixed. If the weatherboard is cracked or rotten, we're replacing it. If a lot is coming off we're putting insulation in behind it. Lots of hammering and sawing and lots of scary pictures! We had a fun afternoon tracking down the colour of the house paint. As it turns out, its Wattyl's Flemish Blue (Deep Base, Solagard, B 144.0, E 280.0, V84.0, KX 144.0). I love this colour and need to think about sheen's for when we get the house repainted next year. For now we just went with the closest to the tin we already had. One side of the house is done and we've painted a first coat of the blue. We've also had scaffolding up for a while. Its been hard to get in and out of the house with it though - this is our entrance walkway. This is the other side of the house after a day's work removing the weatherboards. There's a lot more work required
Gemma from Sixty Six Stitches started off a rather revealing tour of the Wellington Sewing Bloggers Network sewing rooms. I was far too intrigued not to join in. Of course, I wanted to snoop around the creative spaces of some very creative people and felt that I had to participate rather snoop unrequited! ;) Previous in the series is: Zara from Off Grid Chic (Loving the idea of the screen and rather jealous of the mannequins) So here we are - a view into my study, sewing and craft room (and erstwhile cloak room during parties). Be warned this is not a pinterest worthy room - I'm treating this like my before pictures as I plan on removing and renovating sometime over the next few years! And here it is in all its higgledy piggledy glory. Hanging on the door are my current works in progress. Each with a neat label reminding me what I need to sew next or what's left to finish off. To the right is my spare table. Grea
