Sharing the love

As our house fills up with plaster dust and fresh paint, G and G and I have been pretty much confined to our bedroom, which is not particularly spacious. We're eating our meals and generally doing our work on the bed and huddling over the little oil heater that I bought yesterday, as our 120-year-old house is more than a little bit drafty!

I do have plans to start some crafty projects soon, when everything's cleared up and I find some space. I'm feeling rather inspired by these tutorials:

Neat and nifty Storage baskets by JCaroline Creative:


Molly's simple co-ordinated napkins (we only have boring navy blue ones at the moment):



Some rubber stamps or lino cut printing blocks, with help from tsk tsk:



... and a pretty box-pleat ruffle for aprons as illustrated by Giabella Designs:



I love the generosity of people who post tutorials online - it's greatly appreciated!
