sunny & colourful May

Well, mission accomplished...I've finished the throw! I just love the sunny colours. I'm still wondering whether I should add a row of yellow crocheted flowers, but I kind of like the simplicity just as it is.  
I added a simple picot edging


 Say cheese!! Joshua was taking lots of photos of his Pappa with the playstation thingy!

 

 The laundry got painted on Saturdy. Still loads of finishing off work to do, but its a big improvement! I love the fresh colour, its a kind of 'duck egg blue'.

Hmm, definitely need a nice new light...maybe a crocheted one :-)

I'm almost finished tiling the table too. I just had to throw in this random tile ...


now I just need to do the grouting, and paint the table legs. The whole room still looks very bare, but dont worry, I'll sort it out chop-chop :-) or should I say 'swipe-swipe' (sshhh)

 Nothing is out of his reach anymore! Last night he burnt his finger on the frying pan, he's just so quick! I told him it was hot, then he just looked at me and said "is nie" (isn't) and touched it, so I suppose it was a good lesson for him! (its not too badly burnt by the way!)

Joshua, Winston & I have been enjoying morning walks to the park lately, it looks really pretty at the moment! Winston is really good on the leash, he walks perfectly next to the pram, and when we get to the park I let him loose, he loves it!

  1. I really like what you're all busy with Jo-Ellen! Wow- you did the lovely bed throw in record time! Love it! Did Reinier make the table and you're doing the rest??! Well done! I love the tile on the corner! Once you've grouted everything you should do a sealer over the grout to stop mould! It will be worth it! Enjoy your morning walks! Love to you all! Em x
