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!!
Thanks for reading

I have some news....you may call it an excuse but I am going to call it news....
I have set up a new Interior Design Business!
I have a new business partner and we started trading at the beginning of January, and da da daaaaaa..........we have won our first contract!
We install 2 show homes in March, we are so excited we have been busy ordering furniture, fabric, wallpaper and fabby accessories.
I used to love designing show homes, I miss it so much, it feels like such a long time ago, think I need to get my confidence a little but when I presented to the client, my passion took over and in the words of hubby I was on fire!!!
Here is our new Logo


And we have a fab new business card

The black is all black with a white chandelier.....

So this is why I have a reason...or an excuse......to why my craft room has not quite gone to plan, here are some progress pictures...I really loved sorting out the paper, I used the clear plastic trays put them into 4 colour families and put 2 colours per tray, I love the Stampin Up colour families, they have been put together so perfectly, sorting them out just confirmed my love for all the Stampin Up crafty goodies....I have added some Ikea baskets to my punch rails and have donated a load of ribbon to allow room for my S.U. ribbons, I couldn't get rid of all my non SU ribbons but it was a start....

I have 2 new tables and have made up 12 stools for round the table!! so Ive still got plans!!
I will still fit my Stampin addiction into my life and I still have bag orders coming in.
here are a few pic ...
