STUDIO A GO GO !!

On the 20th of June we went to tackle the workshop, well I say we when I should say Paul with some of my assistance in the start and then again towards the end.

We started by clearing boxes and things from the shed at the very bottom of our garden, where lots of Lindsey's things had been stored when she came back home to live.So once we'd made some space in there, most was now in the house!! , we were able to sort out things from Paul's reduced side of the workshop, into that shed, so that he would not have to try and get everything back in before it had all been sorted.

The end shed with space to take things from Paul's workshop while he sorts out what he wants to keep.

Some of the children's old toys are having to park in a corner until they can get back into the shed.

At one point things were taking over the Cloisters and Flower garden but by the time we finished , everything needing to be taken to the dump was in the car port and the Cloisters and Flower garden clear.

And my side of the workshop was looking pretty clear! Paul's left me one of the cupboards and a small kitchen unit carcass that will need a door, for me to use for storage and h's taken the other cupboard and the drawers and worktop. he did offer me the worktop but it was black, grey and white speckled and I need a wood look one to be the floor of the 'house'.

and that's how we left it until today.
After the 30c plus of yesterday it's been a lovely cool 10 degrees lower, so Paul went off to finish sorting out his things from my side of workshop.

He called me to say that he was now clear and it was all mine!!!!!

The view towards the door, he's let me keep the metal drawer unit which will be great for keeping things in nice and organised, plus I have a couple of small pine shelf units which I may use one of which you can see on the filing unit.
There is still some things in the corner but they will be gone soon.

A view from outside the door. I now intend to paint all of the walls inside white and stain the floor with the sea grass colour stain to lighten it all up. I want Paul to insulate the ceiling and board it, which I will then paint white also because my only natural light source is from the open door and the at present open area of the wall between Paul's 2 thirds and mine.

So I have measured my new Sasha Studio and it's 9ft 6  from door to back wall and by 6ft 7 across from the end to the partition wall. Paul needs to move a plug point for me but I can still start painting some walls tomorrow or maybe tonight.

Still a long way to go but so much closer than this time last month!

SUMMER WEAR FOR THE BABIES

GIRLS!

I finally got around to changing the baby girls into some cooler summer clothes. The babies do tend to get neglected and it was mainly because I decided in my summer clear out that a couple of them could go, that I realised most were still in their winter outfits!!

I bought these little cotton outfits from a seller on Ebay because I just loved the style and also the fabric.

Rosie in the blue floral insisted on wearing her ribbon pushing her hair back!

But Flora and Dulcie put them on correctly.

They started to get restless so teddies and bunnies were given over to keep them all in place.

Finally Rosie agreed to put her ribbon on the correct way which is much nicer.

So then Flora and Dulcie had to check Rosie out!

Lots of baby talk which I think meant , looks much better Rosie, now you are just like us or words to that effect!

Just time for one more photo before they were off wandering dragging their bunnies and bear side them.!

This is one of the babies I am selling details are on my sale page and she is also on ebay. Her hair falls badly but she is mint, if she does not sell I will probably send her off to be re rooted.
