The summer holidays are hurtling towards us and with them the prospect of a lot less free time so we're spending most of this last week of term-time trying to get our bedroom painted.
I made a start last week by painting over some of the dark blue so that we could pin down which colour to choose from our short list. At the moment no. 3 is favourite but it's hard to be certain as the colours change so much depending on the time of day and which lights are on...
We'll live with the colours for another day before committing ourselves to a paint purchase and then it will be time to dig out the paint rollers and full steam ahead. Though I must admit that I'm not looking forward to the doing bit of having a new-look room - I must be using muscles that don't get a lot of use during knitting as my arms are aching already and I've only undercoated part of one wall! Thank goodness we only do this once in a blue moon (it was last decorated 16 years ago - H finished painting the skirting boards and hung the curtains the day that Amy was born!)
Talking of blue moons there is one happening on the 31st of this month. It won't actually be blue coloured but is called so because it's the name given to the second of 2 full moons taking place in a single month - something that doesn't happen very often.
Enjoy the rest of your week x
