Guess What...

Hi folks...ever the optimist...that's me...I was confident that I'd be congratulating myself this morning on finishing the painting marathon...sadly it hasn't happened...fell at the first hurdle if truth be told...oh I had great intentions but if you are a regular visitor you'll know that I'm easily distracted and prone to going off on weird and wonderful tangents...the distraction on this occasion was Friday's purchases...temptation in a couple of Dunelm bags...
and for goodness sake...how long can it take to plump up a few cushions and hang one pair of curtains even allowing for the dreaded task of smoothing out all the packaging creases...half an hour tops...
but my "have it done in a jiffy" idea turned into a bit of a nightmare...silly moi forgot they were going to be too long and it was either ask hubby to move the curtain pole up a bit...definitely not an option at silly o'clock on a Saturday morning or get out my trusty Fiskars fabric scissors and get chopping...pinning and stitching...
and by the time the task was finished...the day had gone and I was kicking myself for being so easily distracted but I do love the new contemporary look...
the big reveal and popping the champagne cork has been postponed indefinitely...who knows when it'll all be finished...I think I'm losing the plot...can't make up my mind if I'm in a door painting mood today or tempted to continue with the Annie Sloan Bookcase Make-Over...
but whatever way the wind blows...I'll be back tomorrow hopefully with the news that something's been painted
