Bon Voyage

After another week of DIY I’m packing up for a weekend break away. Unfortunately not to Paris – maybe next time! My latest sewing project is a must to take and a shopping list of goodies to add to my wedding stash is at the ready……

Taking time out

Post-01132017It’s not that I don’t like decorating but the WORST thing about DIY is the clearing up!  So, the sooner I get this job done the sooner I can get back to my sewing machine.  I have a few wedding books in mid-make and can’t wait to see how they turn out.

Distressed is best…

post-01062017My kitchen fireplace has been standing out in all weathers since the beginning of summer and is now very rusty and distressed – just how I like it!  Not one to throw things out easily I shall place it in the garden ready to use as a foil to show off my books and cards.

Digging for new ideas…

post-1209I didn’t know how to present these quirky New Home / Moving House cards and tried every which way. Luckily, I have a pal who has the handy knack of arriving on the doorstep with vintage items that I can’t refuse! This time it was a rusty potato fork and I think the prongs show off my cards quite nicely, don’t you?
