Caught in the act

I caught Mary and Phil on the bed TOGETHER! in the act of getting along! It was nice to find them hanging out nicely instead of the usual Mary trying to scratch out Phils eyes and hissing at him.

camera shy

It was back to normal form not long after, Mary chasing Phil and Phil running away crying, sisters eh?

Hope you're all having a good week xx

New Cushions!

Hello!
Saturday morning was spent sewing and photographing some new cushions for my Etsy shop It has felt like a long time since Miss Jones and I have spent any quality time together, but as the dark nights beckon I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of each other.

                                    Miss Jones I have missed you!

The Autumn Fair, full of amazing local growing talent

Making and Baking

Hello,
Some left over pom pom trim and a fruitful walk on the coast makes for a day of making and baking....

Have a great weekend everyone!

Old lamp New Lamp

Hello!
Giving lamp shades makeovers in 70's fabric is my new favourite thing! I picked this lamp base up for a fiver in a charity shop, used some orange spray paint, covered a plain shade in a fab fabric and added a pompom trim to finish her off....

Covered the bits I didn't want to spray, gave the other bits a light sanding

 Some left over orange spray from my kitchen makeover

 Love this fabric! from my favourite vintage shop The Rusty Zip

 Cut the fabric to cover the shade, leave enough to glue the edges back

I used PVA glue, glue a little at a time and smooth the fabric over the shade, I used super glue to stick the edges back, do it a little bit at a time, glue on a fancy trim and Tah Dah....

SO.... When my friend needed to finish off her dining room makover I offered to make her a shade. She'd hung a pair of curtains from Flo's house and  I had enough fabric to make a matching shade. I love that Flo's curtains are having a second chance in Kats house

I'm looking at all the lamps in our house now....which one is next!

I've just done something I've been wanting to do for a while....I' ve deleted my facebook page!! NO MORE FACEBOOK! Will I survive? You'll only find me here and on Instagram now, I feel lighter already!

Hope you're all having a fandabbydozie week so far!
