Happy Easter and hello Weekly Winners. As always brought to you by the lovely Lotus.
It has been a trying week. However, Easter is all about the BBQ and the chocolate. Mmmmm, chocolate. You know, baths are good for removing chocolate?
The poor puppy hasn’t been getting any chocolate (chocolate can make dogs very sick) no matter how long she follows Amy around. Amy is very particular about eating all the chocolate.
We had some smoky days early in the week, which made for fantastic sunsets.
See?
Amy stole my camera and proceeded to take some interesting photos. (I suppose, it could have been heaps worse. I’m pretty sure she was naked for the photoshoot she did.)
Oh and remember this photo from last week? The one where I was astounded some people liked the colours?
I got sort of busy and pulled all the paint off. Yes, the paint did just peel off. Yes, in keeping with the theme we noticed when we moved in, they had just painted OVER the grease, grime and food scraps on the cupboards. I used a scrubbing brush to clean them. Now all I have to do is sand them back, along with the GOD AWFUL pink edges and stain and re-varnish the cupboards.
Amy may have unwrapped her Easter egg this morning and then spent all morning either nibbling at it, or cuddling it. The glee on her face when she realised that the eggs on her highchair we actually for her was amazing. I only gave her 3 eggs, but it was totally worth it.
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you had a great time.

What a fun day you’ve had. It’s always better if the photographer is naked than the one being photographed.

Happy Easter! I have actually seen somebody choose to paint something rather than clean it. Amazing, but makes for much easier restoration. What if they had done it meticulously? Your only option would be to paint over.

The bath shot is amazing.
I love your new header…sorry if you put it up months ago and I didn’t notice! That is the one thing I hate about the reader, you don’t get a feel for what is happening on the site.

LOL, that last photo is funny! I’m sure she was in her element. Very clever of you to keep her confined to the highchair while she ate that!
I just LOVE the first sunset photo!!

Great job on the cabinets! The paint on mine DID NOT just peel off. I’ve been working on stripping/repainting them on and off for about six years now. Yikes!
Love the sunsets, puppy, and Amy too!

Very sweet photos:) I am always finding surprise pictures on my camera from my kiddos! Usually floor shots just like yours.

Awwww. That puppy is adorable.
Those cabinet doors must have been a bitch to get the paint off of. (Really poor English, but I blame the vodka.) I have a cedar chest I’ve been threatening to refinish for 25 years. Sigh. It still looks the same as when I brought it home from the antique dealers…25 years ago. 😉
