Why did I unleash this monster????

Why did I let loose this Monster?????

My Kids have just gone back to School and kinder and life is becomming that crazy Frantic sorta Organised pace again....

Kinder Duty,Birthday party invites and all that have kicked in again and Days are busy.

I have'nt even had to go into work again yet,Imagine when I am doing that too!

But See this above Picture.....See the two tones in that Pumpkin/Terracotta color????

Like that whoever painted that wall has done the cutting in,in a darker color than  the wall !!!

It has bugged me from the time I moved in to this house.

And after seeing Debbie and her Beautiful bathroom makeover and awesome sink and Reading almost weekly:) about Of Katrina over at her blog and her "once weekly" Painting a wall in her home (not quite but nearly)

I thought Right...It Must not be as bad as I remembered.
After all Katrina fits painting a room inbetween doing her hair and make up in the mornings right???

SO Me, who despises painting....Not dislikes but "Despises" Painting will Re paint these rooms.
Oh Yes siree I will!

First tackling our Toilet room,It is big for a loo and LONg like a mini bowling alley....

But smaller than the laundry and bathroom also painted in the same color with the same faults!

Then once thats done I will do the Bathroom and laundry.

Well it is done!

The toilet room THAT IS!

So AM I!

Yes, It is fresh and looks a million times better BUT it took like 5 hours!

And whats with washing brushes,paint trays and rollers huh?

THAT took almost the same amount of time!

Not to mention digging around in the shed finding them in the first place!

Oh Lordy!

So here tis!.....Looks better but where will I ever find within me the inspiration to tackle the other two HUGE rooms! The pic's do not show off the huge difference but it is Excellent.

Oh and for the person who emailed to ask the color it is:
DULUX CHALK U.S.A IN haplf strength Designer SILK range.
and the trims are some coffee sort of color Dulux paint that was left here by the bulider....I love it! Our doors are this color too!

See thats the laundry wall awaiting.....

So I Am asking myself why I unleashed this monster???

Trying to paint in between Kinder duty,School drop off,pick up and Two kids Parties,

Plus  a 2 hour shift at an Open gardens Cake stall....

I am feeling like I may never want to paint again:)

I have decided it must be like Childbirth the end result is worth it so you kind of forget he pain it was!

And then decide to do it all again....!!!!!

Talking of cakes....

These Faux Cakes of mine are taking over my Home and My life!

But how Great is this cake stand my Friend got for me....5 tiers and fits like 27 cakes!

It is great to help make the amounting faux cakes look less cluttered.

I love it!

Just need another one or two. 

Chicks first pic's!

Well Happy to say we have 5 chicks all gorgeous and all in perfect health!
We had given her 9 eggs from a farm that had Roosters so we guessed they were all fertile,
It seems the roosters may have been having trouble keeping up with his Girls as we have had 4 that are yolk!

I know Candle-ing and the like can be done but we never did we just popped them under,

The Last 11 Eggs we hatched ( one of is now Mumma hen) all had chicks!

Only 7 were viable....So our success rates doing it this way has been pretty good,
This time abit less 9 eggs resulting in our new 5 fluffy babies....

Look at Mumma Hen (caboose) with this little black ball of fluff!

And how could anyone not love a face like this!!!!

The kids are so happy and are yet to name ournew family members but we have had a busy weekend.

My Daughter is so "In love"

And this very old Photo shows Mumma Hen when she was a chick!

The first little chick on the left with the ginger face is Mumma Hen....Caboose!

How cute was she?

Impending motherhood!

Yes We have a Mother In waiting.....

Not me but our hen Caboose!

She is one broody gal,And after her last 4 eggs only had two hatch,

And then only onelittle chick survived...She was as broody as ever again soon after....

So we got her 9 eggs and I know,Well think 3 have hatched but she is still sitting,

And it is hard to know without really rummaging aroundunder her.

 This is what I can see on two other eggs...

This is the Pipping that has started....Through this little hole the kids could hear Cheeping and tapping.
Such a great experience for the kids....And Mum gets pretty excited by it all too!

This is the action thus far on another egg....So two more little fluffy chicks are on their way.
I hope we don't get Roosters as our last Hatching resulted in 2 roosters and 5 hens,Which is great odds,
But they still took a liking to Chasing my Son so had to be rehomed....
So fingers crossed for hens!

I will be back soon with "Baby" Photos....*wink*
