EPP Time Again!

2nd Tuesday of the month has caught me out, again!
I don't have any EPP to share this time... but I have at least got some fabrics ready to start working with... they'll be going into the box for the SuperLongTerm Quilt in the making. These sober ones will give a bit of toning-down to the many brights that are already in the box.
If you're working on some EPP at the moment, I'd love you to share it here! The linky is in the right hand sidebar. Easy!

The disruption around here continues... it's only been a couple of months since I had to empty the room to make it available for my daughter... well now I have to move it all again!

mrHS hatched this idea back in January, & work is finally going to start on a major renovation of our back yard -- m-a-j-o-r -- & the only access for tradies/bobcats/equipment is through our garage... which is where I stored virtually everything that had to be moved. My only option now is a rented storage unit, so I'm wearing a path between home & the 5m x 3m facility!
 
MrHS estimates that the whole project will take 6 - 8 weeks... yeah it might be a bit more than that!... we'll end up with less garden (which will still be plenty for us), proper retaining where there has never been any, a new patio & mrHS will have a workshop in which he can tinker with a 'car project'.
Back in May we seriously consider moving & even started looking at homes, but in the end staying put & making changes has been the best option & keeps us both happy.
It's sure going to be a messy process but it will be great when it's all finished!
(the prospect of a non-leaking patio is enough to get me excited!)

Seems I really will have to wait until next year to get more than a fleeting moment of downtime!

It will all be worth it in the end. Sitting and sewing on the patio sounds good to me.

Oh the pain of renovating...but I think moving is worse. Hope it goes well and quickly for you.

Sorry I missed this post! Mr. HS gets a space to tinker with cars, but you don't get a sewing studio out of the deal? Hmmm... Lovely fabrics, and I'm sure you'll be working on something beautiful.
