A Mug-rug Giveaway

As I mentioned in my last post, my very crafty and generous friend Judy, has offered to make a couple of mug-rugs for a giveaway on my blog. She is very talented and we both used to be the moderators of the craft forum on Rhonda's Down to Earth Forum when it was still running.

So if you would like to go into the draw for one of these lovely mug-rugs then just leave a comment below and, if you can't comment for some unknown (to me) reason, then fill out the 'Contact Me' form on the sidebar and make a comment there and please let me know why you couldn't comment so that I am aware that some people can't do that.

 I am sorry but this will only be for Australian readers due to our exorbitant postage costs that Judy insists on paying. These days we pay more money to post something for a slower service than in the past. If we want our item to be sent as fast as it used to be sent in the past, then we have to add another 50c stamp for that to happen. That is called progress I guess ;-)

Anyone is welcome to join in and these would make great Christmas presents too. 

What a job it is to clean out all the rooms for the painting and floor coverings to be done. Once the carpet was ripped up on the dining room floor all the hardwood flooring was exposed. The builder then came and screwed them down and raved on at the quality of the wood. He said you don't see that these days. Unfortunately we couldn't just polish the wood and also couldn't use the same planks that we had in the adjoining kitchen due to something or other to do with the floor so we settled for carpet which is called 'Shetland'. 

Not a good photo with all the light coming in but the carpet looks pretty good and I have a protector on it as some people, who won't be named, come inside from working outside with their shoes on plus we have the electricians turning up today as well so it is best to protect the carpet. Now to put all the furniture back and get everything back in the cupboards. When the CEO was moving our second hand computer desk it fell to pieces so now I have to go to Vinnies or Lifeline to find another one. Most of our furniture is second hand. 

This is a closeup of the carpet. 

Back to work now. I have a couple of weeks to empty the next room and after that there will only be our bedroom to do but what a job that will be. I mean where do you move a heavy queen sized bed to for five days or so as the carpet layers want a few days for the paint to dry before laying the carpet. Perhaps we will have to move it outside and sleep under the stars. LOL!

Don't forget to join in the giveaway. You have until the 31st October to do so.
