IkeaGoddess: June 2008

Today one of my colleagues invited the whole team for a BBQ to his newly renovated old house. And it was beautiful. They really put a lot of work into it, but it was so worth it. Well I got home shortly before midnight, so I there are only a couple of freebies today. I'll pick up the rest tomorrow. While hunting I had a really big surprise: Wendy of Neverland Scraps made me my very own fan blinkie, and it's even in the IKEA/Schwedish colors yellow & blue. Wendy used her new Shopaholic kit to create it, which you can check out here. Thank you very much, Wendy. It totally rocks.

Here is what I found so far:

The weather this weekend in our part of Germany is bloody brilliant :-) No rain, blue skies as far as the eye can see, and 86°F/30°C. And it's going to be even better tomorrow. :-)) Not that I've had a chance to be outside today, besides walking to work from the streetcar, but I sure will tomorrow. And instead of turning on the air-conditioning at work today, I opened all the windows instead, so that is kind of like being outside, right? ;-)
I continued to work on our kitchen before going to work this afternoon, but I am far from finished. A lot of you have been asking how the house is coming along, sorry I haven't been updating lately, but I just got to a point where I didn't want to talk, think or even be reminded of it. Living in a construction site was about all I could stand. Well I have gotten over feeling sorry for myself for buying it and willingly doing this to myself and am beginning to enjoy renovating again. I think the problem was that we started in every room inside and outside the house at the same time, so we never really had one room finished. And I am not talking decoration here, but basics as paint and electricity. Now I can at least see light at the end of the tunnel or better I can again imagine what it will look like when I am finished. So progress is slow but we are getting there. No idea when, but the journey is the reward :-) Beside in a year from now, I will be sitting in my garden, feeling proud of what we have accomplished, and just plain enjoy myself. When I have some time to spare, I'll try to update my decorating blog, so I can show you what we have done so far. I'll keep you posted, promise.

Now enough blah-blah, here are the freebies you have been waiting for:
