Cabin Storage & Reorganization..

Since I last showed you all my Cabin, I have had the over head lights fitted. I had been working by plug in lamps. Its so nice to be able to flick a switch now and have overhead lighting.
I have also been having a major reorganization in my Cabin, moving things around and getting lots of new storage set up. Its much more organised now,before and hopefully I'll be able to find what I want, without having to trawl through everything. I've brought some new drawer storage from Ikea and the drawers hold loads.  I'm still going through all my crafting stash and trying to find a home in here for it. I've managed to remove everything from the plastic storage stacker's, that I had in there and they are going to be reused in the Garage, so they have come in handy and won't be wasted. I still have another white table to put together. So will have a very large working space. The broken flaps table, is now being used for dirty stuff, like stamping, embossing and painting. Hopefully, I'll be completely sorted shortly and can get back to making minis and crafting.

 I'll share some more pictures when its totally complete and sorted. Hope you've enjoyed the tour.

Another Sneeky Peek...

Lots as happened in our Household in the last couple of months. We've had quite a few visitors, including some of our oldest friends, that we haven't seen, since we moved here. Its been fantastic to catch up with everyone.

I've also been busy decorating indoors and I'm still trying to sort out my Cabin.  The Cabin is coming along nicely, but already think I may need an extension!  There are still quite a few mini buildings to go in there. I still have some big furniture to paint, including finishing painting, my old Dining room chairs and put the bookcase back together, so I can get my hundreds of Miniature Books and Magazines reorganised.  Although thinking about it, I might ask Father Christmas nicely for a new one. Also need another table in the centre, and some other form of shelving, means a trip to Ikea, but I'm not complaining.

I took these pictures a few days ago, just to give you some idea, how its all coming together. This arrangement, could quite easily change again, once I move more out there...
The little Garden, that I made down the side of the Cabin, has been a complete success. I've really enjoyed watching that all come together and its still blooming its little heart out.

Garden Project Part 2

Well its been nearly a month since I last blogged. Time seems to be flying by this year.
Ben's home from University, for the Summer. Harry finishes his last lot of exams next week, then no more School, he's off to College in September.

Plants Filling Out

The little Garden down the side of the Cabin, has settled down beautifully and the plants are filling out nicely. Probably due to all the rain we've had.

Salvia

I'm really pleased with some hardy Poppy Plants, called Garden Gnome, that I brought from the casualty bay, at a local DIY store. I think they cost about 50p. They looked very forlorn, but since having some TLC, they've bulked up, have lots of buds on them and I've even had the first flower open.

Gate Fitted

The Gate has also been made and hung, which is brilliant as it keeps the Dogs out, but I wish, it had the same effect with the cats!.

The Cabin with View Behind

Its been quite a busy few weeks here. My oldest friend and Ben's Godmother, came to stay for a few days, which was lovely. We've been best friends, since we were three years old. We had a good old reminisce, looking at old photographs and laughed so much my sides hurt.
But I've still not managed to get the rest of the bits and pieces sorted in the Cabin.
We've had so much rain, that there was flash flooding in Wales and some of the Villages and Aberystwyth, were hit hard. To be honest, I really didn't want to be taking stuff out to the Cabin and it and I, getting soaked, before I got it in the dry. Hopefully, we've got a break in the weather, for a couple of days and I'll be able to move some more bits and pieces.

Garden Project ..

 Since I wrote about my little strip of Earth, down the side of the Cabin on the 8th May. I've been working really hard to get it finished. I've been painting all the Fencing white, put up some Trellis, painted the walls white and shifted through bags and bags of our own homemade compost, to remove any stray weed roots and planting Plants. I'm also putting a really big Tub/Pot at the end of the bed in front of the Trellis, which will either have a Climbing Rose in it or some Clematis. Most of the plants I've used in the bed, are highly scented. Which include English and French Lavender, Thyme, Rosemary and Dianthus. When they've filled out a bit, the air should be filled with lovely scent, that will waft in the windows of the Cabin.
