Finally finished...

I have been working on or should I say looking at my unfinished Simplicity 2599  for weeks and now that I have finally had some time to finish it, I am a bit mehhh about it.  I am hoping I will grow to love it as it was a very expensive piece of fabric.  This is my second top from this pattern and I do love the first one I made... in a very cheap fabric!  Ah well, I am sure after a bit of hanging time in the cupboard this one will get used too.




The other thing that is finally finished is our house extension/renovation.  This one I am enjoying immensely and we are slowly settling in to our new surroundings.  We have plenty to do as yet - curtains, gardens and some more furniture, but I am afraid I am going to start boring you with pictures of it now.  
Today I present the kitchen and dining room... ta da!...




I am enjoying the new kitchen very much and last week-end when my DH's family visited we had plenty of room for everyone at the dining table!

Next up Vogue 1224 and probably more house piccies...Ciao

  12. Congratulations on your beautiful renovated kitchen! Thank you for sharing pictures with us. It is absolutely aesthetically the kitchen I would love to have too - and appreciate the inspiration towards the kitchen renovation in my near future. I wish you, and all your family - residing with you or visiting, many years of happy times in it.
    Additionally, I can understand you not being that enamored by your new S2599 (silk fabric isn't it!) since it is not your usual style (can you tell, I keep reading and learning from your blog/review -LOL), however your blouse is beautiful and I feel certain you will combine it well and use it with pleasure.
    Sincerely,

  13. Love your huge dining table! Mine barely seats 4.

    I am sure the blouse will grow on you--the style is cute and navy with white polka dots is a classic.

  14. Your house extension is great. I love the minimalistic style and the hardwood floors. Your top also turned out lovely. I agree with Trena, such a classic look. I think I would enjoy wearing it with a bright yellow skirt :)
