I picked up a few more items when shopping today – all ‘bargains’ to help decorate Sewjourn. These are a few ‘red things’ for the lounge and dining area.
And this lamp with a blue shade (looks better in real life than in the photo) is for the back bedroom. I have some nice fabric with the same color blue in it to make quilts from……..they probably won’t be done for a few months yet though.
Mal has just gone up to Lancefield with a ute full of goodies – including 2 new bunks and a double bed. Lots of work to be done on the bathrooms this weekend but I’m hoping to spend some time getting everything more sorted out as well…….and there’s still a bit of cleaning up to be done outside. Firstly though we are all going to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The girls are VERY excited – they have been learning lots about the Olympics at school and are keenly collecting the McDonald’s toy mascots – I was extremely pleased when I discovered you could buy them for $2 and the children didn’t have to keep eating ‘Happy Meals’!

Hi Jan
Wow, the place is looking fantastic!! You guys have done a wonderful job and Phil and I enjoyed reading through your blog last night – it was really interesting and great to see the quick progress you guys are making. Wish we could have retained you for doing some of our renovations in Melbourne! Best of luck with it all and you have certainly picked up some beautiful things along the way.
Cheers
Jodie
