    I think I must be on the wrong thread as I have not an ounce of artistic talent in my body!

    I think that she was excited over the bargains. You can track it down through the feedback, if you're as nosey as me.
    Brilliant bargains.

    Lolly, the table set is lovely, I'm doing a similar set but it's much trickier and taking longer than I thought. I'm so impatient ans want it all done now.

    For different but matching fabric (see you're right we do know what you mean ;) ) try the bundles from Fabric Rehab - I found this shop through a link on Kandipandi's blog and at the moment I daren't place an order till I can trim my wants down to size. :o

  • pennib - Those monkeys are amazing :) You're clearly very talented. I'm immensely jealous of everyone who can draw - I kinda stopped learning art around the stick man stage - luckily OH has a degree in something arty so once I get started on projects that part can be left to him.
    In other news, I have a job :j :j
    It's only 9 days temping at an office near me but they are paying £8 an hour :eek: which should fund many many Shabby Chic projects (though probably should go towards paying off the overdraft!)
    Anyway - keep posting the pictures everyone, I'm getting loads of idea on how I want to hallway to look from them :)

    Just started cashback-ing - makes me feel less guilty when I impulse buy!
