DIY on a Damp Sunday Afternoon

Don't think they call DIY (Do It Yourself) the same in US.  But that's what I have been doing this afternoon.  I was hoping to sew, but the cat stole my chair!! 

Tink sleeping on my sewing chair - she can't be moved!!!!

These chairs were the first things I bought for my new flat in London in 1977.  They have been in the loft for a couple of years.

They were covered in flowery plastic when I was childminding...

Then in blue and white checks.....

With a little bit of chocolate help (it is Easter Sunday and that's what you do!)....

... and a staple gun I covered them in blue with white spots.

How cool are these?  For 35 year old chairs, they look pretty good I think - actually the white paint needs a bit of a re-coat.

Tink helped me open the parcel....

Fluffy action shot....

Thanks Uncle T and Auntie J for my lovely mousey

Winter Wonderland Wednesday!  Where's the back garden gone?

... and the front?

Cardmaking in progress

Inside - its supposed to look like a little wardrobe...

And the front I used my new cutting die for the bobbin and dress form.  Happy Birthday Miv !!
