Mummy, when will you make us beanbags?

Before I finished work a month ago I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish and this was high priority as I’ve been promising to make them for ages. I wanted to make beanbags for the boys that were a bit different from shop bought ones and I’m really pleased with the results. They are a pyramid shape with a square base, with a handle at the top and pockets on the sides with their initials. One in soft grey cord (J) and one in blue denim (D), both top stitched along the seams to make them really strong. I’m making things like this to perhaps eventually sell as items on somewhere like Etsy, so I’ll let you know if this goes ahead, or get your orders in now! Let me know what you think, it’s always really helpful to get your comments… Also had a play with Photoshop to try and make the images more professional, thanks to a book from the library! (such fun…)

Decorating Projects

Designing an eclectic pantry – my first project

Last week I decided to revamp our pantry. I really didn’t want to spend lots of money on expensive wallpaper for a cupboard so I decided to use the wallpaper samples I’ve been collecting (I’m fussy when it comes to choosing a wallpaper and I can’t find one I like for our bedroom!)

Here is a picture of the cupboard before – a bit messy and cluttered but I love it.

I know it’s a bit weird to show pictures of a cupboard for my first project but I’m starting small, future projects will hopefully be more exciting!

I’ll post a picture of the after later this week…
