Winnie the Pooh and Friends Painted Cabinet







Well as you can see I have been busy doing something.

This is a changing cabinet that a friend of my parents made for our soon to be new arrival. It was a plain MDF cabinet and I decided to have a go at painting. Its the first time I have used acrylic paints in this way and I had to remember back to my school days to when we had to mix primary colours to make other colours as my paint supply is limited. I did have to use some artistic license with some of the colouring... but I have to say I am so chuffed with the final result.

I still have a few bees and butterfly's to paint on the sides and doors and the two or three coats of varnish ... but heres hoping it will be finished by the weekend.

Well I've done it again ..

I forgot to blog... I never was good at keeping diaries even when I was a teenage kid and it was all the rage.
Well just to update you slighty.... we have 6 weeks to go before we finally meet Smeagle... although I believe it might be earlier than that .. I wouldn't be surprised if i turns out to be in 4 weeks time. So long as it doesn't impend on Danni's performances that she has coming up in July I don't mind.
We are almost ready for the new addition... I just have to sort out a matress for the crib and finish painting the cabinet. I not sure if I have mentioned this or not but a friend of my parents made me a changing cabinet which I am now ainting and hoping to draw and paint Winnie the POoh motive on the front and possiblehe sides. It was at my parents but as I am now really quite big and I get breathless and I do have the occasional pains now I felt it would be better to have it home here so that I can get on with it as and when I felt I could..... and ironically I was wide awake at 4 this am so after lying there awke for an hour I figured I might as well get up and give it a lick of paint..... so I am glad its home here now .. its definately more likely to get done now.
I am waffling now !!!
Not much else I can think of to say to be honest .... if I can think of anything I will pop back (if I remember) Bye for now !!!
