Slowly but surely getting there. I tried my hand at grouting today, got half a wall done. Not a fun job!

The tiling began at about 5:30pm yesterday! A full day of tiling today I think!

Happy Easter!
Ours has been full of children vomiting and continuing bathroom renovations. What a fun mix. Evie discovered the Easter bunny had been at about 11pm last night- very excited, even after a spew. 4 or 5 loads of washing later, I'm ready to call it a day. Takeaway tonight please.

Bathroom Reno - End of Day 2
What en exciting way to spend your Easter weekend- renovating your bathroom! It was high time to pull out the terrazzo, in favour of something shiny and new (and waterproof!) You can see above the newly installed bath some dark areas where water was damaging the walls, through to the kitchen on the other side. We'll be tiling up to the window level, so there should be no chance of that happening again. This bathroom seems to be original to the 1953 build of the house. I'll pop up a before pic soon.

New door snake
I was inspired by Lara's new door snake that she made from her screen printed (Ink & Spindle) fabrics, and whipped this up before lunch today. My old door snake I hastily made just after we moved in here in Winter 2008, I have had to fix many times- it was made of quilter's cotton, and I didn't double stitch it (rice explosions were frequent!). So this new one is made from hemp/cotton fabrics, a bit more durable than quilter's cotton, and all double stitched. This should see us through many a winter.
