spooky crafts (Tombstone edition)



Wonder what this was for our Halloween party?
$5 wood from DIY store


My first use of our jigsaw.


Three different paint testers (three options for our dining room...)



Plans to paint the dining room gray...


Yup. Fake grave headstones.
 
 With the primer and the first coat...



Watched intently...


Liberally sprinkled throughout the garden (beside the footpath to the front door).


The first reads "Here lies XXX, God grant he lie still"


Noah Pulse


And M.T. Tomb. 

We're thinking of Noah Pulse for the dining room (they really should change the paint colour name).

    Hope you're having a great week so far.

The great WSBN sewing room tour

Image
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!

To the right is my spare table.  Grea

Siding stories

Image
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'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
