One of the best things I've found since starting this blog is meeting so many wonderful people. For the most part, the meeting is 'virtual', but I've also been lucky enough to meet some of my fellow bloggers in person. <br /><br />Yesterday, I was invited to the home of the lovely Jenny of <a href="http://jittajack.blogspot.com/">The Five Year Project</a>, and we spent the morning chatting and sharing renovation stories over a cuppa. Jenny is as warm and friendly in person as she is on her blog, and I fell head over heels for her beautiful Queenslander, which she and her husband are in the process of renovating. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of a visit to her blog, here's just a little snippet of what you'll find there:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvSClhreL2nUEhrAn7K5YwCdiY5YVXCFwdV5rdLlslKBMy63j-qAfngz3Xtz7zHNydxQQ66fTAxfT-HqxOcY9zxVuO128YXFw5BNq1tevvIYLje8yJ16g6ETkiCQ_B95Eo35LUMcZrnoM/s1600/five+year7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The most time-consuming part of the whole exercise was the placement of the pattern - it needed to be fairly symmetrical to look convincing. Once that was done, all that was needed was a steady hand and lots of patience! It took much longer to do because I had to be in the mood to sit and paint - and it really can be quite theraputic to work on such a repetitive pattern!
