My Creative Space…

again at last!

Oh it does feel good to be participating in this meme again – yet as is my way, I’m not really doing it properly… again… sorry Kirsty… you are very patient.

Since I showed y’all my not terribly creative, messy, cluttered space yesterday, and since, unfortunately, it’s only gotten worse since then… I’m showing you The Boy’s creative space instead.

It involves paint, pickets, nails & screws turning into a rather exciting yet soooooooooo slow to materialise… PICKET FENCE!

I can’t say that I am someone that has always dreamed of a white picket fence – my dream home always included a small railway track for getting from room to room – but it’s looking pretty schmick, me thinks.

Unfortunately it is a loooooooooooong way off being finished, The Boy & his boss/helper have consistently underestimated the number of pickets needed, so right now all the painted pickets are up, more are being painted & more still are yet to be bought…

Head here for more luffly spaces, and to play along! (‘tis fun, really!)

  1. Oh my, it is looking very storybook cottage! I quite like that picket pleasantry you have going on there. It is a wonder how much time these things take. My brother in law just finished 2 small stone wall raised beds in front of our little green cottage, he started over a year and a half ago! So, at least you are moved and you can take time for all the clever things you want to do to your sweet cottage.

  2. Wow, what a clever guy you have there. A white picket fence isn’t my dream either (the train gizmo sounds good though!), but you have to admit that is a rather shmick face lift for your cottage.

  8. Ha, thanks for the laugh... I'm enjoying imagining a private small railway, in fact I think my boys will love it too, so IF we ever move into a space which has more than about 4 square metres of space, I think I'll look into it.
