I received a text message from my brother in law...'would you like a rocking chair...needs some work' well I couldn't reply 'Yes please' quick enough! Lol! (A chap he works for was going to throw it out!)
I can picture a quilt draped over the back with a little stitched cushion on the seat. I have always wanted a rocking chair and this one will look perfect on the verandah outside my sewing room
This little vintage find from a local market stall...lace and a little jar filled with buttons and for only $5 too!
Miss 10 has decided that she would like to keep her blythe doll (when she arrives) on the book shelf in my sewing room (as a temporary doll house), so rather than paint the inside of the shelves I decided to cover cardboard with some pretty fabric and place at the back. The fabric has only been pinned and taped to the cardboard and can easily be replaced at any time. I quite like the look and will eventually do it to each shelf back
It also makes a pretty back drop for photo shoots! Lol! This little lot is what I have made the last couple of days...a newsboy crochet hat and slouch hat, a crochet dress and 3 little floral dresses.
Now it's time to organize tonight tea!
Bye For Now
