This is just a little interim post before I show you an update on my mini work! My cabin's blinds and curtains are made (by my Mum) and fitted. They are are non working and are there just to soften the look. The lower gathered ones are white polker dot on pink.
This photo was taken before the the upper blinds for the long windows were fitted.
I just need to buy the wooden blind pulls (it's just pink cord at the moment).
Our turf for our lawn was delivered on Friday and my Dad laid it the same day...well it's only the size of a postage stamp! Hard donkey work all the same. :o) He applied a layer of compost before the turf went down.
Here it is the day it was all laid. It had a good watering in and the next day we had a deluge of very heavy rain (us and 2 other villages lost power for most of Saturday because of 3 downed power cables). :o(
It will need lots of water for a while...
It's so great to have something green to look at...it's so calming on the eye compared to soil or hard standing etc.
The view from my cabin today...the lawn has already grown some! :o))) There are still odd jobs that need to be completed still but it's mostly there now. :o)
I will answer comments on my previous post ASAP! A mini update probably tomorrow. ;o)
I hope you don’t mind my ramblings and madness! :o))

Its just gorgeous Michelle its making me quite envious!
ReplyDeleteAs you say a ton of worklaying that lawn! whew! I know!
I love the size of your yard, mine is so big takes ages to mow!
but I dont have a beautiful cottage like yours down the back! You deserve it lovely lady!
Awww Deni! We are pleased we have somewhere to sit that's more or less done..the house still needs tons doing to it, so back to that! lol
DeleteThis is the smallest back garden we've had and have had bigger and yes lawns that take a day or more to mow...no joy there! lol This garden is manageable and fairly low maintenance as is the front garden too. ;o)
The inside of the cabin needs a few more jobs and then it's all finished! YAY! lol

As soon as I have some spare time I will hop over and have a look Britt. ;o))
DeleteLooks amazing...the curtains and blinds turned out lovely..clever mommy :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteShe is indeedy!!!! The curtain along the table fronts will be in the same fabric as the white polka dot one. I thought it was better to have some less in your face..but kinda toned well with the whole look. ;o)) The interior window/door frames will be done soon as will the infill table so I can finally start to lay out my alley and projects. Then I can decorate the cabin with other pieces I have...one includes a 1/12th scale old fashioned hot air balloon. ;o)) xxx
DeleteWill look nice carrying on the dotty fabric though, not in your face at all.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the table to be sorted so you can start laying it all out oooohhh xxxx
It's looking lovely Michelle.... well worth all the hard work :)
