Well here i am sitting at the airport in Avalon, my plane is broken!! Therefore i am going to miss my connecting flight home to Cairns, Oh the joys of flying. Apparently they are going to bus us all up to Tullamarine then fly to Brisbane, too bad there are no more flights tonight to Cairns.......

New Lamp

Hi Like my new lamp ?? All I did was sew a ruffle onto ribbon then got my trusty glue gun and glued it on, I've got one on the other side of the bed as well. I love the colour don't you ??

My New Look Bedroom

Hi I have finally finished my room, in between assignments, ballet, swimming and work!!
But I am happy with it for now, (until I change my mind again)I am so loving red and white at the moment. See that lovely Mosquito net, $4.00 from the Op Shop, love it when I get a bargin, although it wasn't lovely and white when i purchased it, but nothing a good soak in Napy San wouldn't fix. My room is very small, and please excuse the hideous blinds, I am renting and they service me well when i need to sleep during the day when I am on night duty. I haven't any new projects to show you at the moment, just a tad busy with Uni,etc., by for now M

Sat nite Special

This is my chest of drawers with very minor renovations, eg., hardware change, but doesn't it make a difference. I got bored with the chunky pain old white knobs, so changed them for these super slick black ones and it changes the look of my whole bedroom, which by the way is very very small, with a lot of furniture in it. I will show you a photo soon of the whole room, i have just bought new linen for the bed, so i will wait until i put it on and finish the lovely new cushions for it. I can't decide if i like the look of pale washed out whites, pinks, blues, or red white and black,love them both at the moment my room is red and white with a touch of black, and i love it. I scored big time at the op shop the other day, a gorgeous sewing table for my friend Kerry, for the huge sum of $4.00. We have been looking for a few weeks for one suitable and this is old, solid wood, with a small drawer in the front, and shabby white, perfect! I am now wishing i had kept it for myself!!
Chow for now, Amanda

Sat Nite Special

see this yucky brown drawer, the whole cabinet was like this, before i painted and painted and painted (i used heaps of paint) it white, or or Antique White USA, to be exact. It just kept on soaking it up, and the brown would bleed through, anyway it eventually stopped bleeding through, and i put the final coat on. I changed all the hardware, and this is what i got, i love it even though i'm not sure what it was originally used for. The top lifts up and there is a storage space a bit like a desk i suppose, and the big piece above the 3 drawers drops down, and there is a huge storage space in there, it is old, not sure how old 1940's i think, i got it at the op shop for $20. bargain. It now sits on my veranda and it is full of art supplies for my grand daughter Madison, she's 3 and very into doing craft with her Ya Ya, and we have so much fun!!

Saturday Night Special No.36

Hi I'm back in the swing of things again, my arm is almost 100% back to normal, still going to physio but not back at work just yet, 1 more week, i have so enjoyed this time off.
These are some photos of my very small lounge room I found these tatty old doors at the dump, for $2.00 each, BARGIN!! I attached the shelves myself, so clever (not!!) They seem to make the room look wider and a lot bigger for some reason, anyway i love them just as they are, I have one each side of the TV cabinet thingy.Linking this to Funky Junks Saturday Night Special No..36

I,m Back again

Well we just won't mention the time frame shall we? A lot going on at the moment, and one of the amazing things happening is a new business venture with my very lovely and sweet friend Kris, this is our new Etsy shop, go and check it out we have some delicious goodies for sale http://www.etsy.com/shop/ClaraBowsTeaParty. We have been busy setting things up, still a little bit to go, and we will be all finished.
Remember the car accident i had in September last year the week before my daughters wedding?? Well the results of that are all about to catch up with me, i am having surgery on my Right shoulder on Thursday, so i am off work for 6 weeks, so that will mean more posts, (maybe) i have 2 huge assignments due at the end ofg this month, and only one hand to type with, so we will see what happens, maybe even some photos to share, take care my lovely friends, Amanda
