Hello, Possums!

Chalk it up as a damn fine blackboard tutorial (that'll only cost a quid)

Skill level: Beginner
Time: ​15 minutes

Chalkboards are pretty bloody handy - especially when you're people-herding at a wedding or special event. Whether it's directions to the loos, a nifty editable table-plan, the place for a mildly irritating inspirational love quote or a reminder that - yes - it is indeed a free bar (okay, that one probably doesn't require any form of signage... bushfires have taken longer to spread)  - you can almost never have too many of the things on hand. A chalkboard that's free standing?! Even better.
Yes, yes - I know, your budget is so out of control the 12,467% interest on that pay-day-advance loan is starting to sound like a really good deal... relax, I've got your back. Read on my lovely, £1/$2(ish) blackboard frames await...

I know, I know - you're completely over bunting. Now more rampant than rats, rabbits and Cher impersonators combined, I get that this post is coming in 3-5 years too late.  I'm stubbornly sharing it here for two reasons:
  1. I bloody love bunting
  2. I once purchased a lovely string of bunting, only to realise - not three weeks later upon picking up  needle and thread - that it is easier to make than a sandwich (my general reference point for life). Yes, I'm still miffed.

In case the heading off this website didn't make it excruciatingly obvious: I have a big bum. The thing about big bums is they tend to be bolstered by big thighs, which are in turn bolstered by big calves and so on and so forth. Unless of course you are like my friend Laureen and your hypnotic, full booty is balanced upon equally delicious long legs. But we're not talking about her.

Quick Project: Napkins

I can only assume there are thousands of unopened letters to publishers of sewing books from angry readers demanding to be refunded for the printing cost of the napkin “pattern” they just discovered splayed across pages 6 and 7 of their latest purchase.  I am sorry if you yourself have published an annotated collection of summative essays detailing the subtle art of sewing squares, but for everyone else, I think you’d appreciate that a 2-page illustrated napkin guide is kind of overkill.

    A big dollop of love from my finger tips to your screen (I promise that's not as creepy as it sounds).  xx
