I've got my DIY hat on again...

Hi folks...
Important Announcement 
apologies to those who have already booked for Saturday's workshop at The Papeterie...sadly it has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.
So with the kitting gone from my list of stuff to do and the rest of the work stuff up to date...I was looking forward to a "chill out and relax" weekend...closing the cubbyhole door and leaving the creative stuff behind until Monday...well you know by now that things rarely go to plan in this establishment...by lunchtime on Saturday I was twiddling my thumbs...that familiar "what can I do now" restless feeling...an ideal time for the little guy who pops in to my head with more mad ideas to pounce. Before I knew what had hit me I was back in DIY land...the workdesk unit was emptied...upended and getting an Annie Sloan make-over...
One of those "who's bright idea was this" marathon painting jobs...8 blinking 4-sided cubes that needed 2 coats not to mention a mega waxing session but once you've started...there's no going back...you realise you've just signed up for a fun weekend with a paintbrush turning the cubbyhole into a world of brilliant white.
One unit done...just two to go...
And right on cue...the arctic weather arrived...I woke up on Sunday morning to a wintry flittering of snow...a colour co-ordinated  "everything's white" scene inside and out.
on reflection...if it was a weekend of "everything is white" excitement I was after...perhaps I should have headed to the ski slopes where there's not just a few inches but piles of the white stuff...

I'll see you all tomorrow to share my "Off On A Tangent" project
Hugs Kath xxx
