Roof update



This is the partially constructed roof this morning   and      here it is several hours later completed.


Stay tuned for updates.

My two plastered boys

This is not the sort of photo I was wanting to share today, lol, but such is life.

Obviously no building is happening at present as DH fell and broke his wrist when the ladder collapsed from under him! He's bruised, sore and in plaster for 4 weeks but otherwise fine. We've contracted a building crew to complete the half finished roof so as we don't fall too far behind schedule.

The other injury to Rob, DD Katie's partner, happened 2 days earlier while he was racing his motorbike at Symons Plains. Luckily no break, just a severe sprain. His motorbike didn't fair so well but can be repaired.

There is always a silver lining to every grey cloud...I get to play in my craftroom for a few days!

House update and an inspiration alert.

Building has come to a standstill over the weekend as we await the arrival, on Tuesday of the roof trusses. Today I marked out where the kitchen cabinets will be situated and also where power points will go. Other than that it was just a general tidy up of the site and a tip run.

Here's the completed walls.

Sooo, I was able to spend a lazy afternoon in my studio surfing the net and getting inky!

One of my fave blogs to visit is 'Less is More' where Joy never fails to inspire with her awesome cards.

Well yesterdays card blew me away and I knew I had to create my own version. I followed Joys instructions for the background then added my own stamp and sentiment. The border I created by drawing a solid black line with a marker and then added small dashes of Rangers white enamel accents. I coloured the butterflies with markers then coated in Glossy Accents. I'm thrilled with how this turned out!

Here's Joy's card,

and here is mine.

I'm going to spend the evening playing with this design, changing the colours and just having fun!

See you next time, when we hopefully have a roof!
