And now for something different.

I had geared myself up to the idea of making curtains this weekend. A job I really hate but, when I went to buy the fabric on saturday morning I was told there was a two week wait. A reprieve! Well as the time was already allocated I bought a metre of lovely fabric from Laura Ashley and did another job that has been waiting for my attention, re-upholstering this little chair. It has been years since I upholstered anything and it took me quite a while to find my tools but once I had started the techniques came back really quickly and I really enjoyed myself. I Thought I would take photo's of every stage. Mario kept coming and asking what would be happening next. Elenya decided she wanted have some action shots. And the little ones oohed and ahhed at all the right bits! It was fun having the family come and watch each stage but I was so busy talking I forgot to take a after putting on the webbing. Mario suggested I rip it back to take the photo...hmm I enjoyed myself but, perhaps not that much!
