That is how long it has been since i posted on here, how sad.
Hello my old and new friends, so so sorry i have been away for so long. Facebook would probably be my reason for not hanging out with my blogger peeps. Darn it facebook. :)
Where have i been i hear you ask? Well i have been here, still doing what i do, making old things look new again, scrapping, Renovating. Yep i said Renovating WE R STILL RENOVATING. Ahhhh i just want to scream and finish this place already, BUT hubby has started to study mining engineering to improve on his career, I think it is fantastic that he wants to improve on his career and move up in the world, it just means we have to sacrifice a few things and that means the house gets a little neglected SIGH. Any way The last time i spoke we were building new walls in the lounge room and putting an undercoat on to hide the hideous dark blue the previous owners painted, We have now finished our en suite in the main room .Yippee We r up to laying black butt floor boards through out the whole house which is so exciting. We get to say goodbye to ugly particle board and lino UGH !
Mollie's room gets the first makeover, floors are layed, cupboard has been built now we have to put her shelving in the cupboard, doors on and plaster , sand and seal her floors, paint and she is ready to move in Woot ..
Here are a few things i have been playing with lately

This was an old Enamel Bowl that i picked up at a garage sale for 50 cents, it has had a facelift with spray paint and then some home-made flowers and a few embellishments from Lil red rocket , The bulbs are beautiful white freesia's.

This old bench i scored at a garage sale for i think only $8 it was soooo rusty and old looking that nobody wanted it except me, she has had a face lift too, I painted rust remover on it, sanded down all of the timber, painted a few coats of sealer and painted the iron black .
I love that i looks brand new . Total cost for the make over probably another $10 for screws and spray paint, the rest i had at home .
