Rest Up

Rest Up... I've been told that I need too.

I'm 30 weeks pregnant now and I've been over doing it. It's my first pregnancy and apparently it's normal to try to do too much :-/

Anyway so here I am trying not to do all the things I think I should be doing (clean the house, clean the fridge, sort the space under the stairs out, go food shopping, re pot the plants, make some new cushion covers, take things to the charity shop etc etc). I'm sure you know what I mean..

So i'm spending some time in my bedroom with some old unfinished knitting and crochet projects and trying to stay still (ish) and relax.

We have lived in this house for 5 years now and things could do with a re fresh. I barely spend any time in our bedroom except to sleep nowadays however it's still a room I really like. Some of my favorite things are the artwork on the walls, I have a collection of paintings and prints by Dana Komjaty of the shop and blog LeLiLaLoo on Etsy. Sadly Dana's shop has been on holiday for a while now which is a shame as I love her work. I also have a print by Kerry Layton for SeventyTree.

On my Pinterest board 'For the Home' I have been collecting ideas for things I would like to update our home. I really like the idea of making a DIY headboard for our bed and this is one of my faves:

Right now though I  need to do as the doctor said and snuggle down and get some rest. After all..

A house a home

I am finally moving house on Friday 11th February 2011, this has been on the cards since September and I am so happy that it's finally come around. ***Excited happy dance**** I am excited to be living somewhere that will have stairs, a garden, an attic, storage space,a summer house  *ahem* art studio :-)

The house itself is lovely too, built in the 1890s it's a stone miners cottage with fireplaces in most rooms and a lovely countryside feel even though it it on the edge of a big city.

I've lived with my boyfriend in a small city flat for 2 years now and before that I was in house shares for 5 years so this will be a big change. So I will be offline for a week or so we have lots to do including getting the internet connected up but I will be back with far too many photographs of our new home to show you soon :-)

I have started to get quite excited about the idea of decorating the house, I mean I have been in rented accommodation for so long where decorating is just not an option that I haven't really ever thought about it.

I made a treasury on Etsy called 'A house a home' (above) and you can view it closer here.

On the idea of home decorating I came across this company Confettisystem they make amongst other things the most AAAAMMAZING garlands...I would love to have one in my home but I think I would have to save my pennies for a bit...One can dream right??!

I came across Confetti system via this post on the decor8 blog

Bye for now people!
