Overwhelmed with excitement.....

GIANT GRANNY FOR A CHRISTMAS PRESSIE

Roughly worked out l need at leat 16 rows may be up to 20 more rounds, and it takes 50 minutes to do a round now, so a way to go yet

Then l want to add a decorative border....a few stars may be or just a navy band again?...no idea yet

NEW WALL LIGHT...

Along with the disaster of ripped wallaper and a hole to fill, both sides of the wall lol....

When it was finally fitted the flippin bulb was broken, so still not working.

Still don't know what happened but not as bad as it looked, filled the hole yesterday and l'll stick the wallpaper down today

Felt like l sat down a lot yesterday morning, that's not allowed, so thought l would go exploring hehehe

PATCHWORK SOFA COVERS

Decided not to rush the patchwork sofa covers and as l still need about 3metres of fabric and all the zips......expensive and the wrong time of the year to find money like that

But the original beige covers are some where??????

So l braved Phils garage and climbed the tool covered stairs and had a dig around.....some where up there was a box packed very carefully in 2007 with the original Ikea sofa covers?

WELL....he got his garage upstairs tidied anyway, but no sign of the box

Couldn't understand why it wasn't there

At least l check what was left of my boxes of craft stuff up there and tied up a bit

Gave up and came inside again, then a thought hit me, the only place for big box storage inside the house 

was under the stairs (no attic in this house)

yeeeeeeeees... there they were...so four hours later they were all washed and drying nicely

A very boring colour, but lets see how l can spice up the sofas for Christmas......already have an idea

Hope l have enough time to make them., watch this space lol....wish me luck won't you?

Left over wallpaper.....what could l do with that?

A WALLPAPER COVERED TRAY 

Some left over wallpaper the same as the bathroom, but in a different colour way, so l covered a tray l had bought but decided l didn't like

Painted waterproof PVA on the tray, cut the paper an inch bigger, stuck it down cutting mitres in the curved corners and then trimmed the edge when it was all stuck fast

Painted and sealed with a coat of PVA, to make it wipe clean 

Dried it with the hair dryer, no time to wait for it to dry lol

Catch ya all later

Have fun...love all the excitement  this time of year, don't you? xx
