Another update

For the people who don't follow me on Instagram , Here are just a couple of things i have done in my blogging absence  

The cupboard i had my linen in that was  given to me by my friend mel , I loved it but it was starting to look tired so here are the before and after photos.

This is it now.

We used the william morris style wallpaper to decorate the chimney breast in the living room , The spare was used to line the cupboard.

I made some curtains for our bedroom , If you remember i was waiting for some to come along from a jumble sale or car boot , It didn't happen , Then my friend mel gave me a lot of fabric of which this butterfly fabric in blue i used to make the curtains , she gave me the linings fabric and tape too , 
She is amazing , 
so they didn't cost anything but my time to make.
I have some fabric left so will cover the ottoman when i get around to it. They fit in well with the blue and white of the  bedroom.

I have also been trying to find  an Eiderdown to fit in there instead of my red one that has lost a lot of feathers , Over the past year i ordered three , not one of them fit just right either by size or design needless to say  i got my money back by re selling them for a little bit more than i paid for them to cover all the fees and postage.
Here are two of them.
So now i am going to have a go at making one so its just right.

II did find however one for the spare room that fits in well it was damaged  so i got some lace butterfly  repaired the holes and used the butterflies to cover the stitching .

This was my last jumble sale haul , nothing was over £1.00

I wanted to share my best christmas presents , The watch was off my daughter with some heated rollers plus lots of other gifts and the brooch is off my friend mel .

There are lots of bargains to be had in the shops with food after christmas i managed to get this marzipan , Its now in the freezer like everything i buy that's reduced.
