I’ve been really busy with my pieces for the Creative Exchange of late – so much so that I’ve forgotten to post up my progress. I’ve got so much to do this month that time is very limited, but I want to post up a few more piccies to show you how I’m getting on.

We’ll soon be holding regular film nights in our mini cinema and so I’ve taken on the task of making some bean bags. I’ve been collecting vintage fabric and thinking up patterns and tonight have made my first prototype to test out my pattern. I love it!
