In the home straight- we hope

Been very busy of course as you all realise but I am currently working on the final room- the painting thereof that is LOL.
Hope to have it complete over the weekend at the latest then I have promised myself a day off, last week was my birthday and I spent it painting LOL
But the BEST birthday present of all was my niece having her baby on the same day- her first. She lived with me for a while and we had our moments but she is pretty special to us both and this makes it doubly special. What with the running around for the house I didnt even get the time to visit her in hospital but she only had three nights in and plenty of visitors apparently.
SO I thought that maybe early next week I would pack up a picnic and go over for a visit.
Although I love the kid she made me a flipping great auntie- although I am in actual fact a great GREAT auntie already.
Thats what you get when you marry a man a bit older than yourself who is the baby of a large family and he is only a couple of years older than his niece who is now a grandmother.
Oh well
heres hoping I feel I can take an afternoon off because I have to have three rooms dressed and ready for the photographer by the 12th of next.

We have

lift off?


Nah just a date which puts a deadline on the working on the house
Halle-bloody- lujah! LOL



The preliminary sign went up today and the marketing of the house begins in earnest just after Easter. The date of the auction is April 19. I was working outside for some part of the day and the number of people who slowed down and had a look when they saw the preliminary sign was pretty amazing- bodes well
So I have to have the interior finished and scrubbed and polished by the week before Easter. But at least the fun part begins because I can 'dress' the house
ie actually decorate rather than just shove something where it will fit!
So many people have said I wont want to leave after I get it finished- dont you believe it baby LOL

Our exhibition was postponed from March PHEW lol
that certainly took the pressure off so as soon as we begin marketing I can make a start on my two pieces for that- thankfully one quilt and one other piece that I can pack up when I am not working on them.
Who says I dont like challenges?
catch ya soon
