    Not your site by any chance?!

    DurhamGirl,

    I don't know if this was for me :confused: (as my post preceeds yours), but none of the sites I quoted in my post are mine, they are free sites belonging to other people that I found and used when making my own blog.

    Thanks Ellidee :D

    I did see your post, but I needed to make sure for my own peace of mind, or else I would have worried about it (a LOT, I have a form of OCD and I worry about silly things to the point of absurd excessiveness).

    Icandream, meant to say that your sewing box has been transformed!
    Have you made a start on the "understairs cupboard that shall not be mentioned" yet? :D
    Thank you! I absolutely adore it. I didn't realize you could love a sewing box. It's replacing my plastic one!
    The hall and cupboard will probably start in about a month's time, and I have printed out all VP's suggestions, and am going to pretty much follow them. You lot will be the first to see it, as I will be very nervous. Before that we have absolute upheaval next week as plumbers are coming in to finally replace our archaic heating system and boiler. Should save some money on bills! But not looking forward to the mess and stuff everywhere bit of it.

    You guys will not realize just how proud I am of this. I am so incapable when it comes to using my sewing machine, and am trying to work myself up to making curtains for DD's room. But it's true. It's easy.
    Huge huge huge thanks for posting stas4949 :j:j:j

    After seeing your I want one my stuff is hopelessly disorganised and unused mostly for a long time but this thread has perked me up, Like I think it's luxor (forgive me I've not got that right) who's got RA so have I and it takes some getting used to so after two and a half years where it had a chance to get a good grip without treatment I'm now getting treatment and feeling better so want to get creative again. You didn't need to know all that did you :rotfl::rotfl:

    So I'm watching this one but postage is £12.:D
