Old new furniture

There is an awesome place in Launceston called 'Goods in Remission'. It is run by a man called Hank and all proceeds go to a church mission of some sort. He gets old furniture and does it up or makes other useful furniture from bits and pieces. I love going in and browsing and last visit did not disappoint! I got this beautiful dressing table and gentlemans robe/low boy for $540 for the two. The robe is a bit dusty in the pic and needs a polish but they match my coogans blackwood bed perfectly and I am stoked!

Been busy as usual


Have been plugging away at Lark for Beren. This is to be a hoody vest and he wants green trim. Beautiful wool I got from the Bendigo Wool Mills last month!
Also been doing some spring cleaning/sorting/tidying/taking advantage of children not being home LOL
I had originally had a corner for their drawing stuff etc but it was becoming a dumping ground for all toys and other crap so I have reclaimed the loungeroom.

I have converted their beds to bunks for more room, and bought some underbed storage boxes.
Rearranged their shelves so they can see and find everything and am bracing myself for the barrage of complaints that will no doubt ensue. I think I will tell them to put them in writing to management. :)
