AHHH not great on the challenge this week in fact I only managed 1 day of sewing and that was today. I've spent the day in my PJ's after heading to the shops to get a few groceries and returning some of the curtains and hardware that we purchased. All the blinds in the top on the top floor are block out and were fixed in such a way that putting curtains in as well was really difficult so we opted not to.
Maestro's room had curtain rails (but no curtains) as well as blinds so we were able to get ready mades for his room. He wasn't too keen on the colour at first but once they were up they he realised that they were perfect.
By yesterday after 5 days of walking up and down the stairs my legs were really complaining, but most things are done and Maestro is pretty much settled in. He has TAFE for the next 3- 4 weeks, he was only going to work 2 days but I think he feels he needs the extra money to get things with the house right. We knew there were the curtains and the showers needed resealing but all the down lights were too dull and had to be replaced as well as the tap in his bathroom so $500 that we weren't expecting to spend happened as well as a few other things. The joys of home ownership.His tenants have moved in and they are pretty quiet and seem to be easy going so hopefully it will be smooth sailing for a bit and will help with his mortgage.
My fuchsias are finally blooming and the begonia which I received for my birthday is flowering.

Oh the joys of moving into a new space. Even when you just change apartments, there is usually a run to the big box store for something or other. Looks like he's got a good space, glad that he's mostly settled in. Moving the kids is certainly a work out. Grad Girl will mover from a second floor to a third floor apartment in July (no elevator). That's going to be fun. She's promised that she's already enlisted some of her larger grad school guy buddies to help. Thank you for linking up each week, sorry to be so late commenting.
