#Saturday DIY

[some1s-sista]

240v has been run out to the smokehouse (guesthouse) so we now have working HVAC! Completely rentable now; I just need to put a fire extinguisher out there and install a smoke detector and we’re done. There are other things we’d like to do - add a screen door and a little porch, but they’re not absolutely necessary.

Now we have to run water out to the bath house, buy a toilet, and I still need to glaze the tub, but I need this warm weather to hang out for a week to do that cuz you can’t glaze under 55 degrees for 24 hours beforehand and at least 48 hours after so that it cures properly.

Meanwhile, inside the main house I have painted the kitchen window frame, broke for lunch, and am about to go back for the second coat.

Projects in this old house are never done.

hi! just wanted to pop in for sleepover saturday to say that i really love your content and to share my current ongoing project! This jacket is pretty old so im needing to do more and more mending, but making it visible and fun like this is having an amazing effect on how i look at clothing in general.

i have plans to add some dirt and bug and plant themed patches and maybe paint a centipede going up one of the arms. i also want to do a 'heart on my sleeve' type patch and put my partners initials underneath it.

but yea thats my current project! im really happy with how its turning out and thought itd make a cool sleepover saturday thing. this blogs resources on mending clothes for beginners was really helpful!

Image descriptions

1. the right side of a worn green jacket, it has a bee patch sewn onto the pocket with a thread that changes colors from green to brown to yellow and some visible mending with bright green thread where the pocket connects to the jacket. there is also a mend on the bottom edge of the jacket with yellow thread. above the pocket is a patchwork patch that says 'mending is better than ending'

2. the inner part of the hood on the jacket, mended with some brown thread

3. a small mend using bright green thread in the arm of the jacket, though you cant tell its the arm other than that i have said so

4. the left side of the jacket, sewn onto the top is a trans flag made from blue, pink, and silver can tabs. they are sewn on with floss

5. the left side of the jacket, focusing on the lower part. there is a visible mend near the zipper above the pocket, made with green and yellow thread. there is also a mend where the lower part of the pocket connects to the jacket, in bright green thread. the jacket is visibly stained with some grey and red wood stain.

Omggggg it's beautiful!!! 💫💫💫💫🎉🎉🎉💕💕💕💕

Bought materials to make my own spreader bar. The only way that purchase could've been more obvious is if I bought rope or restraints as well (but I already have those at home) 😂

When the Decorating Bug Hits Quickly and Leaves Just as Suddenly

I am one of those hapless people who walk into Home Depot and catch the decorating bug. I want to paint the whole house new colors, clean out the cupboards, add new lining paper, and replant the garden. I can think of a hundred new DIY projects and spend accordingly. I am the kind of customer they love to entice with irresistible displays of what a beautiful house, inside and outside, can be. I…
