Good fences....

Just to give you fair warning - and this will be a quick little blog since i must run outside to rescue the water glass perched precariously outside my office window before it blows over in the breeze... the next time you drive to my house - things have been a'changin! Gone are the florid red and white stripes of the fences beside my house - which i know at least some of you use as a landmark... now i guess you'll have to come up with other methods! This is a project that has long been on my list of things to do and now it's done... and i couldn't be happier - i like the way it has turned out and it's such a relief to have it done!!! So come on over sometime for a cuppa and see for yourself!

Before....
After.... with a hint of Mom....
What a difference a few kans of paint make eh?
And one for the road - just cause it's good to have pictures of yourself
looking silly every once in a while - keeps everyone else sane! At least with paint splashed on my cheeks, i look like i worked a bit!

i can't believe that shirt has been relegated to a painting shirt!!

All good things must come to an end at some point... sorry....

The fence looks super good, Yellie!
I am a little bit sad that my landmark is now gone, but it looks a lot better now :)

That IS a fantastic shirt, ps.

Laura :)
P.S. What's so special about the shirt?

It's a little arrogant, actually - saying that you don't make mistakes on the crossword so that you are able to do them in pen - rather than fixable pencil...but, in truth, i do like to do them in pen - so i guess it's appropriate!

Looks good Danielle! I like to do crosswords in pen too but I hardly do them nowadays... it's better to have pencils laying around anyways, especially when SOMEONE decides they need to colour on your freshly painted kitchen cupboards...

I still know how to get to your house by the way
