New arrival

I just have a couple of photos to share with you today.

This past weekend has been hectic in our house -

School half term and general Halloween madness is not conducive to sewing!

I got an old chair reupholstered this week, it really was in a sorry state

and I wish I had taken a 'before' photo of it.

This is the 'after' photo:

I had picked some tartan fabric in terracotta and green and am so delighted with the way it turned out. I had considered attempting to do it myself, but am so glad I didn't even try!

I did make the little Scottie dog to go with it using the pattern found here, I gave him a little leather collar and named him Hamish!

Yesterday saw the arrival of another new addition to our house:

oh yes! a GO! baby!

Things may be quiet here for a while - I've got a new baby to look after;)
