Well, I have had two bonus days with the beautiful boy whilst he recovers from a little Autumn bug. Today he was all better and tomorrow he will return to school after a longer than planned half term! I shall miss his company. But I also missed my Upholstery class today so no update on the Pink chair- as if progress were not slow enough!
So, instead I thought I'd share another favourite chair!
I have two of these. They lived in my mother-in-law's kitchen from the day she first married. When we saved them they still had the original brown leatherette! Well that had to go! The roses remind me of all the happy day trips she and I took to visit gardens in the Yellow Book, a favourite thing we shared together, along with Mary Wesley novels and old china! I love that her kitchen chairs are now used every day in our kitschen. Keeping all the memories in the heart of our home.
Much as I have loved having my boy at home, and I love having him around in the workroom, sheepishly pilfering this and that for some essential craft project, I am rather desperate to get back to some sewing!
My sewing table is feeling neglected!
The only sewing I have done recently is the ubiquitous name tag - seemingly millions of them as is always the way with a growth spurt!But tomorrow I shall be playing with my scraps!
I can't wait! Hope you're all having a happy week and children have settled back into school in the busy half term before Chr.... shhh you know what! t.xx

Looking forward to seeing what you create with your scraps! ;-)
I have seen it in a few mags and drooled!
Olly had a look on line and saw it at JL....good price and its a ok machine, def not heavy duty, but fine for what i do....so nice to have a working one, will be able to do that CK bedding at the weekend, i bought a super king duvet cover in TK maxx, so making it into a double, and then using the rest to make cushions, fabric hearts stuff like that,
I love your scraps baskets.....so cute, well i've said b4 i just love your house, and have a weakness for your kitchen, i saw one on TV once in pink, its very special.....glad you kept it!

C&B - oh to be as elegant as Calypso!
Mrsl - aghast is good? It's good! keep them on their toes that's what I say! t.xx
MM - we didn't 'keep' it! We searched for 7 years to get all the bits, restore and rebuild! It's a complete folly - I might even do a post on that one day! t.x
I love the way that you store/display your fabric scraps.
Love your baskets of material
Happy crafting with your scraps tomorrow - hope you will be revealing one of your glorious collages soon...
E only went back to school today and I've had so many errands to run...never mind, tomorrows another day (nearer to the C word!)

Also, absolutely love your kitchen! Mine is about the size of your table (The joys of East London living!)
TMrs - do you mean 'shove them all into pretty baskets before they take over the whole room?! t.x
LB - I'll be popping over to take a peek! t.x
