Just a little hoop-de-doo...

Hi folks...just a little hoop-de-doo from me this morning....the doors are done...looking all sparkly shiny white and I'm happy to say devoid of any Furry Boy hairs...I'm not a-hooping and a-hollering from the rooftops quite yet as the walls and the bookcase are still a work in progress but I'm happy to announce...in fact that's a huge understatement...I'm absolutely ecstatic that I've completed the door painting marathon...didn't break any records but then again no bones either and believe me it was a momentous moment when I hammered down the lid on that can of gloss paint for the last time...
hey I was even humming a happy tune during the worst task of all...washing out those darned brushes.
But the real star of the DIY show is my 24/7 adorable Furry Partner who's taken all the upheaval in his stride with his usual "whatever" atitude...
OK there has been the odd big sigh but on the whole he's been a star...covered in wet sticky wallpaper...had more than his fair share of paint splatters...snoozed through most of the banging and clattering...coped with route diversions...crazy changes to our daily strolls and mealtimes and it can't have been easy putting up with the prima donna shenanigans of a mega stressed tearing her hair out Mum but with his laid back personality and special doggy instinct that now might be a good time for a snuggle...we made it through lots of "towel throwing in" moments.  Thank you my furry friend...the DIY enthusiast's best friend and I couldn't have done it without you.
And while I wait for the first coat of emulsion on the walls to dry...I'm heading back to the cubbyhole to make a start on the crafty pile and OH JOY OF JOYS...the job that requires big girl knickers and lots of cuppas to see me through...it's pounding the keyboard time...the dreaded step-by-steps for the Fiskars Hobbycraft Demo Samples...
I've been promising Fiskars these for weeks and now I've run out of excuses...so today's the day and who knows I may just manage to sneak in a little playtime.
See you all tomorrow
Hugs Kath xxx
