New Craft Studio WOOO HOOO!

I cant believe my luck, I have a fab crafty buddy who is an amazing tidier!

Ok so it got in a real mess.......and has been like this for a long time..

My whole crafty life changed this weekend...for the muchness better.

When I invited Kirsty and Ellie by crafty buddy and scrummy daughter to come over who would have thought this would happen. They arrived at 8ish on Friday night, we chatted and grazed and giggled for a while as usual then Kirsty said shall we do some crafting....well my other crafty buddy Christine was due round too and had just cancelled and I just felt the embarrassment of my  room would be too much....how could we craft in such chaos?

Kirsty said , "shall we do your room then? I love tidying..especially crafts" I must admit she made this decision 'without' looking in my room...I think her reaction was "holy shit!" but she was not put off and we set to work. ..

 I think maybe Kirsty should go into teaching in a school, she knows how to crack the whip, I was guilty as charged so I did as I was told. She asked me if I really needed 'audio cassette' and packs of horrid cheap tacky brads which of course I didn't so we filled bags of rubbish,  recycling and donations.
We giggled , munched and danced our way round the room, even the cupboards were sorted like never before. Ellie and Lady K chilled watching movies and eating treats , they visited us every now and then. Lady C did her own thing as usual.

We worked out we spent 10 hours at least over the weekend.....10!!!!!
It was sooo well worth it, I am ready for classes now, sewing and papercrafts and cant wait to get cracking.

Just need to sort out the back area where I sew then its all done!

Ive been so busy, I am having a new kitchen floor....I cant be the Interior Designer like a plumber with a leaky tap anymore!! I'm wallpapering a few rooms, touching up very scuffed paint.....we are completely upsidown but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...a couple more weeks and we will be almost there...I am loving it and cant wait for it to all be finished.....



I snatched a little time this afternoon to make a couple of very overdue gifts.....

not long left for you to to get your hands on this gorg fabric, and why not get a stamp set to match? click on the mini catalogue on the right hand side to have a look...you only have until the end of April!

Showhome pic!!

Ok crafting has been on a back burner after a 'difficult' time last week I could keep my mind occupied this week installing a showhome, this our first showhome installation under the new partnership name of CHESHIRE DESIGN INTERIORS


More pics to follow....

I have a few days to get some crafting done now xx

Just a rant......

Ive Been a mummy for 5 years, my girls are 9 and nearly 11 we have had little or no help and support not for want or trying.. and I can't explain what's we have been through and how hard it has been. It would take all night to explain everything but I thought things could not get any worse.....I was wrong.....

I can't tell you too much because it's too serious a situation but my girls have had a massive miscarriage of justice, I don't know how they are going to cope when they find out but they need to know it wasn't us, it was the 'system' the very 'system' that is supposed to protect them, the people who are supposed to think of them first, consider their feeling before others.....

You know who you are and you have failed......

And 'sorry.'....that's just not good enough....you have changed my girls life forever without a second though so you can keep your 'sorry' and kindly shove it....

Its been a while!!!

So sorry Ive been busy designing a showhome with my new business partner, we install om Monday and should be out by Friday, so excited to show you, feel like Ive come to life again, doing what I love and loving what I do....sound familiar?..
Here is one of 2 amazing chairs for the main bedroom....
lush black velvet with chrome studs...

And this is the most amazing pearlised bedroom chair.....scrummy......all from Cheshire Design Interiors!!



I am still crafting of course, love this wallet from a tutorial by Monica Gale and a matching card, love being crafty this is my release....

more embossing, love this strange but fab mix of colours.

Somehow I have managed to fit in some bag orders, here is one just before it was sent out. Love this colour, nice and subtle, very popular. I hope to have a new colour soon a gorge deep denim blue.......


matching purses for the bag order.


For those who know her, we have been trying to get help for Lady C , its been a long road with lots of blunders..(not our fault) but we think we are getting somewhere at last, she will soon be getting 10 hours a week extra help.....she needs more but its a start!!
