Dresser Complete!!

Ta-da! Granda's dresser is complete. Just got it up to Charlie's room tonight and it looks great with the wallpaper!!

I got a few tester pots from B&Q mixed to match the stripes of the wallpaper. They'll not be that hard wearing but there's plenty of paint leftover to do any wee touch ups required!

The two wee dogs were made by my Dad when he was at school. I just sanded them down too and painted them. I think they look great and Charlie already loves them!!

Here are a few 'before' pics of the dresser. Unfortunately I didn't take one before I started sanding!!

Time to Start Finishing!!

I'm tired! I have a desire to finish so many of the things that I have started but I don't have the time and mostly the energy! Being back at work after maternity leave makes life so much busier.

Just thinking through the half finished projects maddens me and I really do want to finish them. I think that I will set myself some deadlines and try to stick to them and we'll see how it goes.

So first deadline is for Granda's dresser. Mum and I papered Charlie's room last night with stripy paper from Harlequin's What a Hoot range and it is fab!! So I must finish the dresser so it can go into Charlie's room too! Think I'll give myself a week!!! Already have the basecoat done so just have to do the top coat!



Here's a few of the things I actually have managed to finish recently!

My tea cosy & matching tea pot stand (no pic) I just recovered an old tea cosy using Heather Bailey fabric (I think). I'm really pleased by how it turned out and now my sister want a matching pair too!!






I have also recently started a flower arranging class and this is my first arrangement. It's all done inside a pumpkin which I thought looked great.


Really enjoyed tyring something new and we are going to learn how to make a Christmas Wreath and a garland which I'm really looking forward too.



So here's to deadlines and the hope that they will spur me on to actually finish something!!
