Love the beadspread Jumblejack! Its beautiful.

I have just finished revamping my hall. I have reused an old mirror that I got years ago from 'What everyone wants' (seems ages ago) which I stained with wood stain and varnished. I re-hung two pics that I already had - they are in black frames which doesn't match but I think it still looks ok. I have added an old Lloyd Loom style small blanket box at the top of the stairs and a coat hook from ebay at the bottom of the stairs.

Hope to add photos soon but have never done this before. How do I add the photos on?

Also, room not anywhere near finished but I will post pics of my ebay vintage bureau too.

Hope everyone is well.

upload your pics to imageshack or somewhere similar.

4.25 / 2 pack

the twin pack ones were a bit bigger. The pack of three are each about the size of a mince pie (looking around it was the best comparison I could come up with!)

Redlass that's right but use sugar soap ideally.

I have to post my latest project here :j

I bought these babies yesterday as they looked adorable in the jars of the haverdashery section of a wool shop.

I had to have them.

I recently put 60 pulls into my bedspread to make it look quilted and thought these would finish it beautifully.



It took me a few hours of stitching them on but it was so worthwhile.

I've just put it on the bed and LOVE it!!!

thats great well done i hate hand sewing

Hello,

Am totally new to the thread, not hugely crafty! but want to revamp some furniture in my bedroom and few items in the conservatory.

I found these on e bay - bit pricey but if you are a long from Ikea?
