Do you know I never asked! how stupid of me. I think it would be if I do it carefully. Its Harlequins Cupcakes, with applique cupcakes and sewn on buttons for the cherries on the top etc. Lovely fabric, but I did originally order it for the small window here in the cottage, but now we re moving she has a bigger window.
I am thinking that you are right, make cushions with the good stuff, and back it with the other to make it go further.
Thanks:T

I googled the name of the fabric and found some very nice ideas - BIG patchwork:D - to "stretch" the yardage that you have: if you stick to the same weight when combining fabrics, things should be hunky dory.

LameWolf Are you pleased with the door? just wait until they are all done - what a difference - great news about your new boarder - over Christmas too! December will a busy doggy month for you! xx

Yes, it looks good, thanks Toots. It's going to be a long haul doing all seven; Mr LW works full time, and has over an hour's drive to and from the office, so I can't expect him to work on them in the evenings, as he's just too tired, but now everything's stashed in the spare room and I can see exactly what we're working around, I'm starting to get my head around it. We're going to go slowly, so as not to make stupid errors; after all, the last time Mr LW did any woodworking was at school!:D

It'll be fun having the dogs; Sidney I already know; and I gather Max is a typical Greyhound - a couch potato! It'll be fun having him around at a time of year I'm usually bored out of my skull.:o We have two dogless days between Sid going home and Max arriving; and Mr LW is on leave for one of those!:D

Happy Birthday Tiddles - hope you have a lovely day xx

thats great LameWolf and well done to Dh for tackling such a big job - I am sure he will be glad to make progress when he can. You are doing well and you just need to keep on top of things as best you can - the house may not be as spotless as you would like when he is working but its in a good cause and I bet only you will notice:D

washing on the airer - tea in the oven - plans made - goals need to be met!

will go find a list and update the housework side
toots xx

p.s. does anyone know where i could buy one of these outdoor tweed jackets - not a dear one - you see men wearing them like gamekeepers and farmers - I think they are referred to as derby jackets - I need one for my DSiL - I can get mens ones for about £50 but the ladies ones I have seen are about £100 - its for doing the horses on the cold mornings so doesnt need to be posh!

DR: We don't need to see you again goodbye
ME: Is that it???
DR: Yes

GGGRRRR :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: I waited 20 mins for that?? Ho hum

Just going to hoover (the cats wont be pleased but it's disgusting (OH has done it a couple of times but not very thoroughly and now my 6 weeks ban is up)

LameWolf

Msgnomey I'm sure I don't need to tell you not to go at it like a bull at a gate. Your 6 week ban may be up, but I'd still take it steady, ease back into your routine, if I were you.;)
