Eventually, I will publish an extra webpage that I put together way back in August 2006 but have updated from time to time since then. More news soon ...

Meet Jason.
He's our cabinetmaker.
Behind him stand parts of our kitchen.
Woo hoo!
Expected date of install is 30th July!
Being orphaned many years ago, one of the spectacular things about marrying Paul is a set of really nice parents. Today, my father-in-law is 80 years of age. He's one of the special people of the world & I'm very honoured to have met him.
For those of you who are following the construction of my 'Love with a Capital L', I woke up this morning thinking about both Trevor & this project mingled together. What I worked out is that he is much like the sampler.
Trevor is patient
He is kind ... he keeps no record of wrongs.
He's like my dear old dad, really. Stanley used to say 'that's nice dear' about most things you had to tell him. My siblings & I could talk to him about most things & he genuinely listened. He wasn't the doom-monger who showed you 20 ways the project wouldn't work (and let me tell you, I've had a few really hair-brained ideas in my day!). He helped work out the logistics of many a project - & sometimes we were both surprised that it worked. LOL
Everyone needs that kind of person in their lives. Even as adults we need simple approval or encouragement at times. Trevor is one of the most supportive people I have met.
'We're gonna get married, Dad'
'That's great news, Mic!'
'We've bought a house, Dad.'
'That's wonderful!'
I hope you have someone like Trevor in your life.
Happiness & laughter always,
Bliss
Love is patient, love is kind...
Love is patient, and love is kind, it is not jealous or prideful love is not rude, it is not selfish, it is never angry, it is not happy with evil, love is not happy with lies, but rejoices in the truth. Love never gives up, love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
It's getting to the point that it's too large to photograph!
Last week, as the tiler was busy with the floors of the rest of the house, Paul was away & Winter break was on, I was a captive in my bedroom during daylight hours & had lots of time to stitch. Don't expect similar updates to what you have seen in the last two weeks for a long, long while. That amount of stitching is quite unusual in my blissful life.
Thanks everyone for the lovely messages about my last post. I was not sure whether to share this info on my craft blog, but I'm so glad I did.
We removed old tiles & laid new ones.
It's now time to clean!
Paul & I have been married 100 weeks today.
It has been a lot of fun.
It has been a busy time too! Some of the things we have done include:
Overall, we live a truly blissful life!
Happiness & laughter always,
Bliss
We've had a mostly quiet weekend. This is our first Easter spent in Brisbane since we moved here in 2004. It's usually the weekend we go south to Paul's parents' place near Port Macquarie, NSW. As we just came back from a long trip & we are seeing Mum & Dad in about a month, we thought we would take it quietly & paint the living room instead.
Nice thought ... no action. We've never been this lazy ever. Our weekend has consisted of breakfast with my siblings on Friday, breakfast in town on Saturday after putting youngest princess on the train to head north, breakfast again in town this morning with youngest son and that's about it. We've got no furniture in our living room so we've lounged on the bed, snoozed, read books, watched a DVD. Life's tough! LOL
I hope you too are enjoying your weekend.
Happiness & laughter always,
Bliss
I'm keeping out of the way of Terry the Tiler! A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do - stitch!

Thanx everyone for your encouragement with this project. It's coming along beautifully.
A word of warning for anyone doing this project, though. Check that you are happy with the centring. I'm finding that not all the graph pages match up as neatly as I would like. Some things I leave, others I unpick.
Happy stitching!
Bliss
