Martha Stewart has some fab ideas, I've made things from her site and they have turned out as they should, the instructions and templates are good.

DH brings me back her magazines and books when he goes to the US and they are very nice.

Here is a site address, it is one to exploreasno one page is it all.

Funny you should say that, I was looking at a new magazine in WHSmith yesterday and it is called Martha Stewart at home! it is £3.50

Thank you moanymoany, that is a good site, advice about colour coordination particularly helpful.

That looks great. I debating making some bunting but just in fabric not knitted, I can only knit in straight lines lol so if you want a scarf its fine just don't ask for anything else lol. I would love something like that in my girls room though & more to the point so would they.

Heres another one in the US,but they do post to UK, its just annoying that P&P is the same price as the item! Im sure Ive seen that pattern for sale somewhere though.

Pipkin I must apologise I forgot to ask OH about F & B paint but maybe the other posters helped ?
