WooHoo Yippee!!

It's taken a few hours work each day for the last 3 days but here it is!
Its done! Phew!

BEFORE:



AFTER:





Now all I have to do is get Kev to install the wood heater...that will be harder work getting him to do that than actually cleaning the shed. In the mean time I have a bottled gas heater to keep us warm in there while I create. Plus lot of painting and decorating to make it all pretty but that's the fun part :)

While I was cleaning I found the old school desk I painted up a few years ago that has now been put to good use. Cade and Dane will be able to sit there to create their own masterpieces whilst mummy creates hers. It's holding their pencils and colouring books and reading books. They have a toy box and play mat too so they can be happily entertained.

Now my shed/studio is all set up I can get back to doing what I love. Being creative! I've missed my sewing machine the last week. Haven't had a chance to do anything. Tomorrow is out as it's Wednesday and shopping day again (ugh) but bring on Thursday and I'm hitting the studio. I have a wickedly divine design idea for a Wednesday Addams doll floating around the head that I'm itching to make.

Until next time take care

Hey Shelley,
Big pat on the back for you honey, kick in the a.. for Kev. lol
I'm not so sure a gas heater will be good for you all, do you have a window to open. I know, old fuddy duddy-I am.
Roll round Thursday, so you can create!
The painted desk looks fabulous!
Are those drums for you in frustrated times?
Hugs,
Anna

Thanks all
You're welcome to visit anytime Rhainon and play in there with me ;)
Yes the drum kit is for me. I took lessons for a few years when I was a teenager. I don't get to play them too much anymore but now it's set up in my studio i might more practice in.
Kev says the heater will be fine Anna :) It used to be inside till we pulled it out of the open fire place it was put into. He says he's going to put in the wood one on the weekend...I'll let you know how that goes lol.
