while sitting with nothing to do the other day i came across this lovely blog www.creaturecomfortsblog.com it has great links to other sites and also some fab projects which come from other bloggers. Hope you like it as much as i do

not to sure

so its been ages since i have even looked at this blog, an now i have, i feel a bit sad that i haven't been doing anything with it, hopefully i will find some good things to put on here an will start doing things myself again

too long

its been far to long since i have posted on here, so with Christmas not far away an my lack of money i will be making a lot of presents for people, which means i will return to blogging again, yay!

Edinburgh

some photos from my few days away

back to work blues

Why is that on my first day back to work, i wake up to a lovely sunny day, oh well. I have had a great week off an would love anther but money needs to be made so back i go. The first few days of my holiday were spent up in Edinburgh at the fringe which was fab an i took way too many photos, some of which i Will put up on here an the rest of the week was spent generally doing not a lot, which is really the only way to spend a week off work.

old chair, new chair

As promised here is a picture of the old knitting chair that i have recently re-covered. When i deiced to do this i hadn't realised how much work it would take, as it was the first time i had attempted to do anything like that. Unfortunately i didn't take any photos of how it looked before, but it was dark wood an had a dark red fabric on. The first thing i did was to sand the chair and take it back to the beautiful light colour that it now is, then came choosing the fabric (my favourite part) i have used a one from ikea, as it wasn't to expansive an i loved the design on it! When it came to the actual fitting of the fabric i did cheat an get a helping hand from my mother, very pleased i did though as it took both of us 2 weeks to get it finished, but we did it, and i have to say i am very pleased with end result. Definitely something i will do again.
