Redecorating

One of the great things about being on holiday is that people try and take up your free time with stuff you don't want to do. This week I've been roped into helping out strip wallpaper and take down some ceiling tiles. Both jobs have been boring but I have been driven by my immense hatred of the weird peach wallpaper in the living room and the polystrene (why?) tiles in the bathroom. I'm so happy to be rid of them!

I find it a bit odd that every other room in the house has been updated from the old lady style we moved in to but we are getting there. Nobody has decided on a colour for the living room, I quite like the weird green of the plaster, so I took to the internet to get some inspiration.

However, I got distracted. Here's a treasury of all the things I'd like for my bedroom...

Distractions like this is probably why it's taken so long!

Flower Power

So it's been a month since my last blog post, I'm slacking I know. So a run down of what I've been doing this month is in order!

Fabric flowers with diamonte centres


I have two sales through Etsy to celebrate! I have also completed the flowers for my mums friend.



 












One of my new makes


The rest of the month has a distinct floral theme to it, I've developed a bit of an obsession with plastic flower beads.














 
Malachite and Silver ring

In my silver class I finally finished my bracelet! And managed to make a ring as well. I'm now working on some earrings as all of mine are cheap and make my ears hurt. It'll be nice to treat myself to some designer one offs! I'm also making some rings to use up some scrap silver.
