Um yo...

So before we get to 2 weeks since our last post, I thought Id check in and say 'yo' and say we havnt forgotten the blog. We've all been busy bees lately! I'll try and sort some photos of what we've been up to soon as I get a chance :)

For now, here is a video to make you feel groovy...recently I rekindled my love for Hanson, and Im officially a fan once more. Get amongst this, don't hate.

Bee's Desk Makeover

Hi all,

So earlier this week a friend gave me a desk that was without a home. They had built it themselves and had originally given it as a gift to someone - but alas it did not suit this person anymore...cue me and my lack of desk...and here we are!
The desk is rather epic (to say the least!). It has wooden cross sections that act as legs, a nice wide desk top, a massive block of shelving that sits on top of it all, and even has two little spotlights wired in for extra lighting!
Anyway, upon picking it up we realised it was in need of a tidy up and a paint job so DIY began!

Here are the before photos:

And here are the after photos:

Little House's Thursday Excursion

Hello Friends!


Us gals here at Little House went for a wee trip on Thursday to Berhampore. Berhampore is the neighbouring suburb to our beloved Newtown, it's a little bit smaller and has less shops, but one very interesting shop it does have is Evil Genius. Evil Genius was in Lyttleton, Christchurch, but in the February 22nd earthquake, their shop was destroyed after being in business for just five days! So, they packed up and moved on out to Windy Wellington. They sell new and used records and they brew delicious Lyttleton coffee :D Excellent!

Fun!

EG had a deal on all the records not nice enough to sell, 4 for $10! Bridget and I found some real gems, can't wait to share mine with my Dad next time I'm home :-)

Today looks like this.

Luckily, the garden looks rather pretty with watery drops decorating everything.

Dandelions and daisies and clover, oh my!

Twig came out briefly to investigate what I was doing out in the rain.

Best to be inside, with the record player on. Here is what Im listening to today:

Notes and blogs and crafts and gift wrapping and projects.

AND SUPER MARIO JELLIES!!!!



Hope you're having a lovely weekend.

Jaimee's DIY Corner

Hi all! It has been a while, I know. The holiday season has had all of us busy, and I had some problems getting the correct size screws for my gorgeous new handles. I also had some trouble getting those pesky All Blacks stickers off. A man would suggest you go and buy some Meths to dissolve the glue, but we don't have any of that lying around at little house, so I used my female ingenuity and used nail polish remover. Worked like a charm. So, all is coming along now. 

Bridget kindly got a bit of a candid shot of me drilling holes in my drawers, and now the painting begins! (My room is currently an assortment of piles of things, since it has been so windy, I can't let my drawers dry outside!)

Thanks to my friend Izzy who works at Resene, I managed to get some free test pots! I just chose a basic warm peachey cream colour called Solitaire to go with the brassy handles. 

Can't wait till they're finished!
