After breakfast I decided to tackle the outside bench. This bench was screaming HELP! from the moment I saw it and it stayed with me, so I knew this was going to be one of my first projects. Now some of you would argue that this is work since I paint furniture for a living but it is very different when you are doing it for yourself or find the time to do it for yourself even. Plus I love painting so I was happy out :)
TAH-DAH! Doesn't that make some difference and only took an hour start to finish.
I had a few curious neighbours pop by to see what I was up to, one of our resident peacocks and a flock of guinea foul :)
Its just amazing to have this on my doorstep :)
Once the bench was finished I decided to make some brownies. I love baking but it has gone on the back burner since I opened the shop so today I treated myself.
We still don't have phone reception, tv or broadband so I lit the fire, put on a record and settled down with a book in my paint covered tracksuit pants. Not having any contact with the outside world is kind of refreshing, it definitely gets you up off your arse and doing things you would usually put to the side.
All in all a pretty perfect day!
Here's to many more.
