ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY.......

Well at the moment I am either sitting comfortably at my computer or my sewing machine, but not both. I only had (until this evening) one swivel chair and so I either have to wheel it around between the rooms or use something definitely not fit for purpose...

However to digress a little, this post was to be about the brilliant annual Heckington Show, but as my DD has done a super post about it here , I decided to tell you about my latest project.(I know..I know I have a million of them 'on the go' but in between the big jobs I have to keep my hands busy don't I?)

It all began when I found this awesome fabric.......

It came from here........

and better service you couldn't ask for. The fabric was listed on the site but not due in until July/August, but with all that was going on here I really didn't mind waiting. Yet a couple of days into August and I got a lovely email from the shop to apologise for the delay and to tell me they had sent a bit more than I had ordered as a thank you for my 'patience'. What stars and I will certainly be returning to buy more fabric in the future.

And I knew just what I was going to do with it....cover a new chair for the sewing room (and I can have a cushion too now!)..umm..but of course I needed to find another chair and where better to go than good old EBay.  I really didn't expect to get the bargain I did though...

..........£1.50...if we collected it ourselves and it was only just over 20 miles away....Bargain!!  Yes it did need either a clean or recovering and that's exactly what I am going to do. So hopefully I shall soon be able to show you my efforts.

Of course the only problem now is that all this lovely stuff I am collecting for the room will have to be moved out again when the major work (windows & floor) starts in a few weeks time, but it will be worth it.

Well although I have decided not to post about Heckington, I really must just show you the bits I found there.....

First there was this little baby.....

OK so not quite as amazing as Happy's or Claire's and crikey I would have to go on some kind of diet to squeeze in here, but it makes me smile and is a great addition to my mantle piece collection!..... (Oh the little van is a singer sewing machine van)

Then I found another little advertising box........

to display with my other bits.......

and finally the most beautiful 'trug', not the traditional shape, but perfect for storing my roll of jiffy grip and things like bondaweb. It's really heavy and solid and cost just a tenner!!.....

It was a wonderful day and we will certainly go again next year...

Well I can hear that glass of wine calling, a bit late really but never mind so have a good week and hopefully I will soon find the time to catch up with a few more of you, and greet my new followers properly.  I have been a bit pants at answering some of your comments of late. My end of year report would certainly say 'must try harder.'
