I bet you will have a blast at doing the children's rooms. Have you been over
to the all new shabbychic thread? There are lots of ideas in doing furniture up
on the cheap.
Hope you sell your house soon.

Thanks. I've cut out the pieces for my own bag now, but I've run out of interfacing so I'll have to go and get some this week.

I bought the labels from one of those companies which do children's name labels for school. I can't remember which one, but they weren't really all that expensive.

SEGGA1986 - those are lovely. Both my DDs (age 14 and 5) love pink. Actually I love pink too - hot pink especially! I painted our youngest DD's bedroom recently in pink. Unfortunately she still have a yellow curtain, and we desperately need more suitable furniture for her. At the moment she's sleeping on her mattress on the flloor as it's from her cot bed and she's outgrown the bed. I really need to get her a divan with drawers in it as her bedroom is tiny. The wardrobe she has is falling apart and is too big for her room anyway. Unfortunately we have no money so there's nothing we can do about it.

I assume that is your duvet which they are lying on? Where did you get that from? It's gorgeous!

I hadn't thought of that - I'll check. The freecycle here doesn't usually have much happening on it though. I don't think it's taken off as well as in other places.
