Study now has a new look - I feel much more comfortable with it and soon I will be donating many military books to whoever wants them!

This is a nice spot for reading in the afternoons - like the ladies lounge.

Here is some of the things that have been removed and will now go to the Nudgee tip

I'm afraid the sewing that I had planned for the Easter break didn't really get done - however I have nearly finished a chanel jacket - now I have to decide whether to put the frayed trip on the pockets (it's pinned here) or not

and I am having dinner with V&S tomorrow to celebrate V's 66th birthday.  She's having trouble sleeping so I have made her a monogrammed silk pillow case - someone gave one to me and a LOVE it.  I had a bit of silk left over so made her a matching bag to put socks or undies in when she's travelling.

 Easter was good but I wish I'd been at the beach!!!

Friday is good

I woke up this morning and was very happy not to have to get dressed and go to work!  I stayed in bed and had TWO hot cross buns and then got up and into the painting clothes.....
Anything that is not tied down in lukin street is getting a coat of paint!!

I'm sorely tempted to attack the glass fronted book case with a can on paint but think that he flutterings in the spirit world might become a bit frantic??!!  so it will probably survive - if only for the reason that it is VERY heavy and I would never be able to get it out to the verandah

My next task is to get everything dry and back into the study before Monday pm - and to work out what to throw away, what to keep, and where to put it all.

 Perhaps a garage sale???

These two guys have marched out of the mess and placed them selves on view in the hall.....

For a bit of light relief (and because I was in old clothes) I undertook some gardening....
this got converted

 to this....there's new fence hiding material and a kafir lime tree beside the compost bin now.

And Ailbhe's very pool-unfriendly trees got their annual pruning from my side - taking advantage of them being away for a day!

All of which made me require a sugar hit and this is what it was!!!!!

watch this space

This weekend was the last one with the study as it was....

 this was just a little test but once you start it's impossible to stop

 So - out on to the front veranda with the desk and on with some undercoat and semi gloss!










I'm going to have glass door knobs with swirls on them but I have to get back to Bretts as I only bought one to try out!

 Looks better already - I'm a bit reluctant to put the big old desk back as a nice Freedom white trestle could look good?

And here's just a bit of the room so that you can see that the eggs are truly broken but the omelette is definitely not made yet!!!

I don't know about keeping the hedge trimmer and broom behind the door - trouble is that they're close at hand when I want to use them.
