I just love weekends like this.... where it is drizzly rain, still a warm temperature, and nothing urgent to do, just relax on the couch with a book, get some quilting done ...
...and I started stripping a lovely old plan table, that I got for FREE - is lovely rimu wood underneath the ugly brown varnish - so am stripping it back, give it a light sand then will oil. The plan is to test it in the lounge as a new coffee table - if it looks okay - then will convince Chris to cut the legs down :) Next search is for some old antique handles. Sorry second photo not so good - took it tonight...
It has been my lucky few days for great bargains, on Friday at Briscoes in the sale trolley picked up a lovely duvet cover for our bed for $20.00, when I removed the sale sticker this duvet was originally priced at $159.95 !!
Not this weekend, though last weekend and a few others past - Chris has been building the corner for the block wall, heading back up to the carport - so that it is ready for the concrete pour is looking very impressive...
Daylight saving has finished... so dark so early... tonight went to the supermarket at 5.30pm came out at 6.15pm and it was pitch dark - hurmph.
Off now to get some more washing hung out in the lounge and in the hot air cupboard (the downside of winter coming - house looks like a laundrette).
Love to all.
