Not quite a lazy Sunday, but still pretty chilled.
Today's work was finishing this solid Edwardian arm chair, using a favourite colour combination of Orange and Green. Monet - Flower Garden, tapestry with Plush green velvet and vintage braid trim.

Tuesdays chair, another nursing chair, another velvet, similar but very much not the same. I love a strong botanical print.

Totally giving off tropical vibes, to match today's weather.
A gorgeous Victorian nursing chair, reupholstered in a navy and tropical leaf velvet. It's a bit bloody lovely!

The boy went fishing, the boy caught some fish! The boy got a new PB ( 26lb & 18lb), the boy is happy, my van now has a slight whiff of bream and carp, ( or maybe it's just the boy.

Sundays work!
I am absolutely loving this bright copper, deep pile, velvet, and if you ever need help falling to sleep or a distraction, just try to count all the hexagons!
A parker knoll frame with a bit of added funk!

Returning to an old favourite fabric, inspired by a customers choice. A gorgeous orchard printed on velvet.
Two matching lamp shades and their bases would add to any room scape. Can be bought separately or together.

In a move to reduce our waste, we've had a sort out. We have put together bags of mixed fabrics - mixed patterns, mixed materials, mixed textures and mixed sized pieces.
Each bag weighs at least 1 kilo, and has at least 10 different fabrics in it.
Perfect for folk who like to craft, sew, make and create.
Each bag is a bargain at £5/bag.
What could you make?... Art, collages, purses, bags, cushions, scrunchies, pencil case, book covers, bow ties, head bands, phone case, coasters, wall hangings, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

The gorgeous Nathaniel( a very brave local fire person) is running Leeds Marathon, raising funds for Sue Ryder Hospice,
If you would like to send him a few quid instead of buying me a birthday drink, that would be greatly appreciated!

Help Nathaniel Patchett raise money to support Sue Ryder
