Hopeful of putting photos on this blog!!

A very balmy good evening to all, aren't we lucky to have some sunny days in a row? I am just going to pop into the kitchen with the laptop to try and photograph my chairs[pause] A long pause I ate a wagon wheel thinking that would help me to remember how to get photo's onto blog, but it didn't!! just toying with the idea of another wagon wheel and a glass of milk, the milk is healthy and cancels out the first wagon wheel!! will have to enlist the help of Holly with the photo's 'night 'night sleep tight.

A very sunny good evening to all!

I'm writing this at the kitchen table with the glorious sun still shining!!! I reupholsted my chair that I got from Connies Closet in a gorgeous floral fabric that I got from the bolsover antiques the other week,it looks FAB even though I do say so myself!! Also I painted and reupholstered an old chair that I got from the Thursday market ages ago for £2!! I am feeling rather smug! My creative urges are very strong at the moment it's the ispiration I get from other sources, Mollie Makes, The Button Tin and my fave, The Custards[dear Jenny!!] Bbfn.
