Over the weekend, I managed to sneak in a little bit of
time to work on a few crafty bits and pieces - this was amongst playing ‘taxi
driver’ for Paul on Saturday afternoon as he had a work function to be dropped
off at and picked up from, doing lots of cooking to stock up our freezer and
going out on a few little impromptu family outings.
I finally added a few small pieces to our front
porch area which was looking VERY bare and not very welcoming at all. We had changed our door a while back from an
ugly cream to a crisper white and grey combination, but aside from a badly
neglected pot plant, there was not much else happening in this space. However with the addition of a cute stand and
some healthier looking plants which don’t mind going a few days without a good
soaking, things were slowly improving.
Yesterday, I got Paul to hang a ‘welcome’ sign I made
from a piece of jarrah. I painted it the same colour as our front
door and applied a decal in a white outdoor finish material. I also painted some butterflies I had bought
from a seller of vintage wares on Etsy (they were originally a matte gold) and
hung them next to the sign for a pretty touch.
I’m much happier with how this space looks now. It’s definitely more inviting.
As for sewing, I only got as far as cutting out my
material. Yesterday morning, we went for
an early morning ferry ride from South Perth across the river and had breakfast
at a café in the Barrack Street Jetty area.
Later in the day, I had a few things to get from Bunnings and then got
stuck in the kitchen again cooking. Then,
in the time I had set aside for crafting, we took an impromptu trip to Salt On The Beach in North Fremantle where we met some friends and their children for a little catch up
in the afternoon.
Due to a mix up with my decal order, I actually have a
spare one like the one I used only in black if anyone is interested in it… if so, just leave me a comment below and I’ll
pop it in the post to the first one who asks…
Hope you are all having a lovely start to the week…
