Can't sleep

It's a month since I gave birth. 

We're doing really well now. 

But I can't sleep. My brain is awake with strange things. Memories from years ago, new feelings, excitement about our NCT reunion later today, planning trips, body image issues, physical well being concerns, career thoughts and creative ideas.

It would be lovely to have a sunny day where I can paint the nursery furniture. I'd like to sort out the mini wardrobe from the spare room as I'd planned. If the handles I bought are too naff I can always replace them. But for now, they are fun and cute. I can take the drawers outside or in the garage and start stripping them. I could also take the door off. There is a shelf at the bottom of the wardrobe section. I need four matching fittings to support the shelf. There might be two in place that I can use to find replacements.

6 new handles needed for the chest of drawers. Shall I find a different type? I like the chalkboard idea from GLTC. I could do that on the drawers so we know what's inside!

While I'm at it I could buy the grub screws I need for my desk. 

Nursery furniture

1. Remove handles

2. Fill and smooth

3. Sand

4. Dril holes

5. Paint - plain white or lime streaked? Investigate wax and sponges etc

6. Fix handles

Ta da!

This was going to be Emily's nursery at the flat. 

This is her nursery at our new house. 

Most of the things aren't in there now so it looks calm and empty. On the left are two double wardrobes. I'd like at least one of them to be put somewhere else. Either in the spare room or the garage. They are just in the way now.
