Introducing Amy

After a long time away..

I can finally introduce our little angel

Amy

In this pic she's all of 3 months old. 
And we love her dearly!

The first 3 months were so hectic, morning and night, she certainly kept us on our toes.  We also had an unexpected extended hospital stay of two weeks, the poor little mite had jaundice then anemia.  So I have some very interesting photos of a very yellow looking baby.  It all took time to pass, thankfully we have a lovely healthy baby now.

I'm hoping to now continue with weekly posts to my blog - I've a fair bit in the archives now, so lots to chat about :)

Til then ...

Cheerio,

Baby Update

Well its finally time...

I'm off to hospital later this afternoon, and hoping all goes well.

A baby will no doubt shake up this ol' house!!

As a side note, the filing cabinet is all painted and ready for handles.  I did have a bit of a hiccup with colour for the draws (basically, it was yuk!), but with a bit of a colour update its all come together quite well.  I can't wait to show you, the power of paint really is amazing.

I will post the play-by-play when I get back.  Though it might take me a while to get into a routine with baby.

Please bear with me - I won't be gone for long :)

Catcha soon,

Filing Cabinet Project - Undercoat

Its slow going around here, but I've finally finished the undercoat for the filing cabinet.

Two coats of zinssers.. plus a bit of putty for filling in the holes from the old handles.
(my pregnant body can only do a little at a time!)

This room I'm painting in is our storage/rumpus room downstairs.  At the moment winter is just starting to take hold, and its too cold to paint outside now. 

I've finally settled on a plan for this here cabinet.  My plan is to paint the draw fronts a different colour, which I will detail more in my next post, and change up the handles too.

Now that I'm on maternity leave I finally feel able to finish off this pesky project - and stop the pile-up of paperwork around here.

So cheerio for now  

& look out for my next post over the next day or so :)
