Gardening is taking over my life

[HeyWayne]

ermmmm.....debating with myself here(whether to post this or not!).....as a newborn nanny of many years and having to deal with over stimulated babies for hours on end.....will you keep one wall clear until you see if Bean is an easily overstimulated babe or not.....could save you a load of argo!. some babies get over stimulated very easily but it can take hours to unwind them enough to have them settle!.

other than that.....the light is coooool!!!.

I'm only doing one wall - the rest is staying brilliant white.

I LOVE that Pillarcat light ... does it take low-energy bulbs?

As to your polka dots ... you can use cheap acrylic artists paints (from The Works if you've got one). Cheaper than tester pots.

Not sure about energy saving bulbs - the head is a bulb - so unless they do one that size....

Squish it quick..........

HW, you are gonna be one amazing daddy

I'm going to do my very best! Thank you.

Like it HW! My son's bedroom at the moment is Spongebob Squarepants, soon to be changed according to him! I have painted waves on one wall complete with dolphin's leaping out and gradually building down to an under the sea scene. He has Spongebob's house on the other wall with a couple of characters running down the path plus a palm tree and beach scene complete with characters plus other things. I love painting though and making allsorts of things so don't mind. Will have to post some pictures of it if people are interested?

Soon though it won't be gardening, but your little one who will take over your life and you enjoy it. You'll be a fantastic Daddy and Mummy!

I'm seeing spots!!!



As we stand I only have three more rows to paint - I have 12 mini rollers - but have to wash them all at once and then wait for them all to dry. Should have it done tomorrow night.

Also just need to sand and paint the now transformed set of drawers (converted into a changing table), and we're pretty much done on the decorating front.

If anyone's thinking of painting polka dots, it's harder than you might think - especially getting them all lined up, and making sure they're random.

LadyWayne likes it - hopefully Bean will be the same.

Oh, LW has done a great job on the curtains too!

WOW, it's brill Wayne, you are one major perfectionist, I would not, repeat, would NOT have the patience for that

HW that's fantastic! When mine were little we had a rainbow wall that their dad painted. It was great. Now my grandson is deciding what he would like. How the years go!! Enjoy every second of Bean, it goes so quick

It would scare my cat - but then again most things do!! He is the wimpiest cat ever bless him

One of my sons had ninja turtles all over his small room now he is 27 yrs and has one as a tattoo on his arm. When eldest son was born he had Paddington bear, then trains.
