This week has mainly been about getting
Bigger Miss's room painted, sorted and back to normal so that she can sleep in it again (the novelty of sharing a room has now well and truly worn off!) All last weekend Rollercoaster Dad and I painted in her preferred colour of turquoise - banishing all that babyish pink! It's not quite ready for the big reveal (you'll have to wait until next week for that) but she and most of her stuff are back in the room. Luckily at least one day last weekend was nice and the girl played outside all day on their bikes - yay!
The rest of the week was pretty uneventful as I was adding the fripperies so that meant days off were spent shopping and doing things like making the curtains for under the bed (she has a cabin bed) as the last ones were pink - yes I actually made the curtains - me of the non-crafting can't sew variety. They're not perfect but they're OK. The girls were back at school and we had parent's meetings where it seems the girls are doing very well - especially in English (need to work a bit on the maths!) Oh and the sun actually shone for a bit too! Not much time for photo's but I did manage a couple.

There was a lot of painting for a small room and Bigger Miss helped out by painting some little photo frames |

Back to school this week and on Tuesday we got to school early to join in with the Great British Brekkie raising money for Winston's Wish - the charity that helps bereaved children (unfortunately not an unknown quantity in our little school). They did these breakfasts every day and in the first 3 days raised a fantastic £250. |

I saw these grasses reflecting the sunlight on the walk to school and had to take a snap. |

Bit of a silly one but Little Miss decided she was going to dance around a plant pot for some reason best known to herself!
To see how all my fellow serial photographer's are getting on head on over to The Boy and Me:

ReplyDeleteThat shade of blue looks lovely x #Project365
ReplyDeleteI love the blue paint! Dancing around a pot looks so much fun!!! #project365
ReplyDeletehad to laugh at her being nutty hopping round the plant pot, who knows why kids so what they do. The grasses are great, sun just in the right place to catch your attention.
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of painting to do as well... just trying to find the right time for it
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the paintbrush, it's really striking, and what a fab colour too! I look forward to seeing what the room looks like in the end.
ReplyDeletei love painting i find it really relaxing, i know, odd.
ReplyDeleteI love that colour. Look forward to the big reveal! I am useless at crafty things. I bet those curtains look great!
ReplyDeleteI really like the turquoise. My kids currently share a room, but will have their own rooms once we finish the work on the house so don't know when that will be. I hope it will be late enough that B will have grown out of her pink phase before we start.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a room that colour :) looking forward to the big reveal x
ReplyDeleteLike the shot of the grasses. Nice to see sunshine reflected off anything at the moment after all the rain we've had!
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy week! They seem to be getting busier too now the sun has come out. Well done for making curtains for the bed, I am completely useless at sewing and could never contemplate tackling anything like that!
ReplyDeleteGreat pot dancing skills! Love that blue paint - such a gorgeous gorgeous colour! We've just been decorating too, hard work but so worth it!
ReplyDeleteThe blue is lovely and I wish my daughter would pick something like that .... looks like we are headng for a pink phase lol!
ReplyDeleteLove the paintbrush shot, great texture in it. Your daughter looks very comical in the bottom photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Project 365.
