upcycled table

sanded and ready for a coat of white

white leggies

I decided to recover the table with some shabbychic napkins from tesco, they worked so well.

This is it varnished (also tesco satin clear varnish which goes on white and doesn't dry yellowy but clear)

Decoupage

easter SIL bunting

My sister in law is 7 so for easter instead of an egg i try to make her something, This year (as they moved to a new house she has quite a cute fresh contemp/shabby chic bedroom) I thought i would make her some lovely bunting to either hang on her wall or her gorgeous double bed.

Excuse my hubbys feet lol and how creased the bunting is as the girls were using it for their magic show with the bunting up the arms of their jumpers.
