I'm sure there are more important things to do.

Decisions, decisions...

I bought some metre long bits of fabric from ikea before christmas and thought they might make a nice cover for the car seat. I like the grey - but maybe a bit too much grey for this baby!

The jacket's almost finished - I've got a feeling the zip could be the hard bit.

And Thankyou Sarah for all the baby clothes - they are loverly!!!!!

This chair is due for a full makeover (hence the last photo in stain disguising black and white) - watch this space!

Now I'll have to do it.

Good old Klippan

The next home will be our sixth home as a family. Quite a lot of moving around, sometimes nearby, sometimes far away. As this next move beckons I'm thinking again about all the re-jigging that's going to happen as old essentials take their place and things are adapted and altered to squeeze into a different space. Looking through old photos I can see pieces of furniture that have made the journey with us, patiently waiting for the next re-incarnation - the covers are already being cut!
