Remind me...

No Frames Needed..

This could be a good way to display your prints, without the cost of frames??..

Wall Hanging...

I am thinking I can cover some of the wall space with headboard style wall hangings?.. Keep your eyes peeled for fantastic, relevant fabric... If you spot any - buy up a good few meters...

Leading Lady of Upholstery...


So, this is the lady with all the press on upholstery..... I think there is still some room for me...

Troubadour Exhibition room..

The room is shaped in an L and these were taken from me standing in the centre of the room.. we have some space to fill!!... but its a cool place and the bar next door is perfect....

Lovely Leather.....

Look at all this amazing leather and skins.... The great thing about it, is that it is all from animals being used for their meat... so nothing is wasted... which does make me feel better... the flash on the camera is changing the colours... the colours are so beautiful!.. I am very excited about these....

Squab Prototype No:1

This is my first attempt at a traditional Squab cushion.. I can't seem to find any instructions in any of the books I have for this particular design... So I got some 10 oz Hessian, Chinese horse hair and some mattress twine... A little over filled and a few mental notes along the way and I think when I crack on with the Scrim and ticking stripe versions they will be top quality!!...

Smartest Artist....

I found this artist, but I have misplaced where I found her and what her name is... I will have to get back to you with the info....

Macha Jewelry should be stocked here......

Massive feather filled poof.... yet to be named!

This is quite a beast and of course can pretty much be made to measure.... the feathers get everywhere when stuffing it... but its worth it to get the shape and size you want... I plan to cover these in veg tan leather - its got an antique look and its what they call pull up as when you pull the leather it marks and creates a worn effect... it is LUSH!!......

HOW CUTE IS THIS...

This is the inner of a kidney shaped foot stool - the top has been prepared with springs I think and just needs padding and the outer sides padding and covering! I Love this and think I will do a few of these for the exhibition??....

My new note pad....

Not the best picture I have ever taken, but you get the idea.... Even if my life depended on it - I cannot remember 'stuff'.... So we have made this (I say we, I mean Paul - the very handy man in my life!!)... I bet you want one??!! I am thinking of putting these made to order on Etsy??... what do you think?

'STIG' the ticking striped Parker Knoll....


Another ongoing TBC piece!!.... 'STIG' was found at my local dump wearing a tapestry floral number, which I have had to dispose of and replace with this simple yet effective ticking stripe.... People will have to bid high on this one.. as I know someone who has their eye on it already!!.... (I just have to finish it off... )....
