Just want to share a few things that have been happening around here the last few months.
The renovations are still going. Finally the study is finished. We still have to furnish it but that has to wait for a while because I will be moving my bed in there while my bedroom is being renovated. I will post photos when it's all finished.
The kids now have their own bedrooms. Jarrod's bedroom is not finished it needs to be painted and the floorboards need to be replaced to match the rest of the baltic pine in the house. That will be done after my bedroom is finished.
Julia's bedroom is finished well sort of. I still have to paint her dresser and sew some cushions and decorate it.
Anyone recognise the fabric in the curtain? That's the Cabbage Roses fabric that most of us all bought and used a few years ago. I bought several metres back then and put it away, I'm so glad I did as I love how it turned out. Her bedroom was our old dining room that had a brick fireplace in it. We wanted to keep that feature in the house so we installed a cast iron fireplace and timber mantle. I'm pretty happy with how it looks.
Jarrod had his Confirmation a few weeks ago. We had a small party for him at home. 46 kids got confirmed on the night and the church was packed and noisy. We couldn't see or hear much but it went well and the kids enjoyed themselves. Here he is with his mates outside the church. That's him on the end with the striped shirt.
Now that all my custom orders are finished I can get back to my usual sewing. At the moment I am playing with these fabrics.
I'm making a baby quilt for Julia's dancing teacher who had a gorgeous baby boy a few weeks ago. Just two more rows to sew on and I'll post some photos hopefully tomorrow.
Have a great week.

Hi Carol, glad to see you're back. Julia's room looks beautiful! I love that fabric for her curtains. I don't know why they discontinued it, it was one of my favs to work with. Congrats on Jarrod doing his Confirmation, James is about to start his lessons now. Good to see you have been busy, we have the same goal to have our houses finished by xmas but I'm beginning to doubt that its going to happen for me. oh well! take care, Maryann
Oh wow, I love Julia's room!! Yes that fabric was definitely worth hanging on to, it's so classic I'd never get tired of it. Congratulations to Jarrod on his confirmation, he's a real young man now!
