Mini Mission...

Sorry, not of the sewing kind, that's all still a bit thin round here at the moment, but I am now a big step closer to starting my "maternity leave"!!  Remember when we moved house last year and I showed you the pictures of my teeny tiny fugly sewing room?  
If anyone needs me I'll be in the worlds ugliest sewing room, actually sewing- woooohooo!

 Well, she's had a bit of a makeover.  Unfortunately she is destined for no more sewing for a while, and needed to be fully stripped and re-branded as a nursery.  My fantastic Mum came over for 2 days this week to give me a hand (i.e get it done as I am starting to run lower on spare energy), and within about 26 hours the conversion was finished (including fitting of new carpet).
 Ugly wallpaper stripped, and old sewing room transforms into nursery with a good lick of paint! :-)
Still a little spartan at the moment, but I have a hoop for the wall, a quilty wall hanging in progress, and she should start to take shape and look a bit cuter and more baby appropriate.  The cotbed is at the in-laws, and will be winging it's way here within a few weeks, I need to cover a lampshade, and the curtains and blackout blind need a bit of adjustment.  And if I get a little spare energy those drawers will be getting the full paint treatment, no promises, as I have a big pile of kitchen cabinets to finish painting!

 Right, I'm off to prep for the Guild meeting on Saturday...

    I dare you to put the hoop I made on her wall and traumatise the wee bairn from birth.

    Are you sure those paint fumes are doing you any good!? Put your feet up women (where you can see them!) xxx

    Well it looks better already. It's a shame you can't keep it as a sewing room, but I suppose you're have to give the baby somewhere to sleep!

    Yay, well done! You're one up on me - I still haven't got round to retrieving our cot from its loan home a couple of hundred miles away...

    Ange I remember how I felt when my designated sewing-space-to-be had to be reassigned as the nursery for baby 2! Nearly 3 years on and I have reclaimed it so don't despair - your time will come! It looks like a really lovely room now - you have done a great job. Now relax!
