Book ...

This poor book was in need of some TLC, and is very well used as well as being a gift ...  I got the job of giving it a makeover, the spine of the book is already long gone!


So I used thick, stiff card to make a new spine and carefully sandwiched it between fabric hinges ...


finally I sewed the cover, using a little bit of fun, musical fabric and a lot of plain black, so the book can still look smart, esp if used at weddings and funerals ...

Sofa so good!

It's not really a great day to leap off  the sofa and go outside! So we are getting the Hama beads out, and I may well do some drawing. Look out for a big change to this sofa to make it even more cosy to sit on, with a great big new cushion which has no gap in the middle. They don't make them like this any more, so i will be keeping hold of the original sprung seat cushions too!

Socks Away!

Today was my sock monkey workshop at the WAND women's day event!


Some very bright socks were transformed into cheeky primates before our very eyes!


Here is mine!


And here is one who's picture was just sent to me by his proud creator!
