    Hi Cherisong, your blog is lovely and so exciting that you are starting a new blog along with a new life in Wales, I was looking at the slide show and it looks lovely, I want to be a follower of blogs, but cannot work out how I add my name??? Do I need a google account? as I tried that yesterday and it gave me an error message.
    Keep up the good work and look forward to following your blog which along with Bibbitybob's is saved in my Bookmarks until I can figure out how to add my name to the list of followers.

    Thank you so much. I have to admit that the slideshow is not my pictures as yet. I added the button and it is showing just general flickr photos of the countryside at the mo. Yours is so lovely I have been looking today.
    If you look along the right hand side of the blog you will see "followers" you should be able to click that button and you will be taken to another screen. You do need to be logged on for it to work. I discovered that after several attempts at trying to follow and bookmarking instead.

    Bibbitybob - what a busy day you have had. I love the shelves they are so cute. I have two little nieces who would adore something like that in their bedrooms. I have duly clicked on watch and will wait with excited anticipation to see how they do. I do believe though that you should have asked for much more than that as a starting price. Love the pigs too they made me smile

    Bobbitybob, I bought the estate eggshell, is that the same stuff as the guy in Homebase said that they stopped making oil eggshell and it is now waterbased, so didnt know if I would need a laquer/varnish.

    I use oil eggshell, not emulsion.

    jools02 - my dining table has been eggshelled for over 2 years now and my kitchen cabinets over a year. It wipes clean really well. The only thing that's scratched it is the metal stud on someone's jean back pocket, other than that I find it to be really hard wearing.

    I've got this weekend's makeovers finished and a new item photographed, will put pictures up asap!

    I don't think so. That way, when they get a bit beyond it, you can change them. HTHs.
