So happy now there are car boots to go to again. Thought that I would come home with loads of junk, but so far have found it difficult to find anything good.
I did however find a magic box of old Liberty Fabric scraps, and filled a bag for a quid. I wish now I had just asked for the whole box! I'm pretty sure that most of these are 90's Liberty prints. Unfortunatly the bits are only small so only good for crafting, or I'd be making summer tops or shorts! Although I might make some massive big bows to sew onto dresses/tops. I'm waiting till I'm no longer pregnant before I start making myself summer clothes!
So here are the bits I found...
I also found a really fake handbag, so bad, I had to have it, I love Black and Gold together so its perfect. Can't get much in it mind, but I do like the gold letters and what's more it was only 50p. Bargain.

Painted 'Big Burtha'
So, while I have been working on setting up this blog, Tim has been busy painting the 'Big Burtha' sideboard that I bought the other day well cheap, and wanted to paint it, as it was really dark wood and made the whole room darker.. We used some small tester pots that we found in the cupboard, over the top of 2 coats of white emultion. Really happy with the outcome. It may need another top coat, and waxing? Not too sure how well you can see from the photo, but the draws are all slightly different tones of creams, stones and light blue. I saw something on e-bay ages ago using different shades for the draws but using blues, and really liked it, of course it was really expensive. Heres one we made earlier!

First Post
Its finally time that I started a Blog, if not for anything but myself to keep track of projects and crafty things that I make and want to make, in the hope that if I diary it, then it will spur me on to make more and actually finish. Write about things that are in the stages of making, new fabrics, that will one day be something, and patterns that I want to make. I want it to be a place where I can also write about other things influencing my life, from things I find, things I'm doing and places I go to.
