I googled it's serial number and got it's manufacture date, which is typed on the paper in it but I forget now, maybe 1903

Not the best pic ever, but the sheer unadulterated joy when I finished making these blinds was......I haven't tried these before and can honestly say that two days of sewing was worth it. I used the guide on channel 4 and the fabric and lining is from the original normal curtains which were shabby in a bad way! I used a can of starch after washing all fabric on 60 to allow for shrinkage. The bits and bobs cost around £38.00. The first raising to see if it had worked was like the virgin voyage of the titanic.

I finally got around to painting that gilt framed mirror. However, once I'd done it, I decided that it would look better in my bedroom than the dining room. So it's been relocated!

That is really pretty and has, along with flying pigs ideas given me an idea for a massive plain mirror I have in the loft. It's simply beautiful!

Hehe, I don't! I can always find something to paint to avoid housework.

I'm late to the party but I've finally updated a pinterest board and figured out how to verify it to my site too. What a palava!
