It has been a productive summer break.
We’ve put up a shed, filled a shed, erected a new clothesline, built bunk beds, and laid a couple of paths and pulled up others.
I also went to Ikea to get red doona covers for the bunk beds in the new ‘red room’ inhabited by Sons #1 and 3 (#2 is having a turn on his own) and found that the covers I had planned to buy are now discontinued. There was one king size doona left in the whole of Australia in that colourway which they sold to me for a grand total of $9.95 so I turned it into two single doona covers.
And had enough left over for a large floor cushion to make a reading nook.
Dangerous stuff.

I sincerely hope that the new clotheslines is as whimsical as the old one.
Great cushion.
I keep seeing that book in the bookshops and wonder what it is all about? I only had sisters and now only have daughters, so it would be a brave new world for me.
Doona. That's the first time I've seen that work used. A comforter?
It's always soothing to have everything picked up and put away--at least once in a while!
My father's bought that book for my son, and when he (my dad) has finally finished reading it, he'll pass it on. It looks good though
is a doona the same as a downie/duvet?
you are so talented. i really like that pattern, too. pretty without being too feminine for boys.
I have been thinking about buying that book for my 8 year old son. He's a good reader, but not very enthused about reading, and I hoped that it might give him some motivation to read! Your sewing looks great!
Clever Girl!
We say Duvet here. Doo Vay. My very cultured friends say Doona, however.
I wish we could have clotheslines here. Not that we could've used them since Dec 20th, as we've had 4 feet of snow on the ground since then. And this weekend, which is predicting snow again, will be the 9th weekend in a row of a weekend snowstorm.
I love that you're so talented, you can make ONE doona into TWO.
I think every boy in Australia must now have that book!
I love the red doona print.
Such a cheerful fabric. I love it.
That's a gorgeous cushion. I love the pattern and the colour.
