I'm sure they are that fabric. I bought some and made DD a PE bag from it.

Yes Twinkle it's the same fabric !

Just looked on the tag and it says Bird Trail Sea Foam - googled and its the clarke and clarke fabric, so really good price as they have quite nice cushion pads in them.

Thank you everyone glad you like the coasters
Yes Twinkle I don't mind you useing the idea I love to share any ideas and also love to see what ideas I can pick up too .

I have made some more coat/peg hooks from more off-cuts and door knobs
I used a different transfer this time and I managed to get my OH to put some screw holes in so I can get them on my wall.
These ones will fit under my shelf over my work area

Hart I think the coasters are lovely. Such vision as well to be able to see coat hangers out of a bit of off cut.
Agatha, that material reminds me a little of summer palace wallpaper in Laura Ashley, they are lovely

Isn't it! Erin struck me as a vivacious and charming woman, so your husband's friend must have good taste. I wish I could afford more from her now. I loved that area of Exeter, so beautiful! Lucky you!


We're getting there with the packing. I just got back from the new house but couldn't get in and could see a bird trapped inside This time in a fortnight I'll be unpacking! Seeing all the stuff I have to be ''shabbied''

Yes he is a lovely bloke and does have good taste,not just in women though,lol.
I'm pleased you like this part of Exeter.St leonards is v pretty and magdalen road works hard at maintaining a village shop atmosphere.My fave shop is along there too (Leaf street,the one I keep raving about and have now banned myself from till the bank balance recovers!:rotfl:)

Sorry to hear about the bird,that must have been distressing to watch/think about.Woo hoo to the move though.:D

fabulous coasters

love the pe bag - thats really clever - was it hard to do??

The fabric for both bag and cushions is lush - reminds me a little of that paper from laura ashley the blue one with the birds on I dont know the name and cant find it on the site now either - saw it when I was in the shop the other day

Have been and bought some matt varnish today and have tonight given my chair and my shelves a coat of varnish - also whilst in dunhelm mill getting some cleats for my new blinds which hopefully should go up on sunday - yay!!! picked up a couple pf pieces of fabric to recover the dining chair - will have to photo in daylight and put on see what you lovely ladies think - will try to do that tomorrow - I love this thread - and keep logging on just to see what updates there are - yet sometimes during the day it wont let me access it - anyone else have this???

Have a good nights sleep all - will be back tomorrow
