Never mind.
I haven't sewn much over the last few weeks either, the decorating was a night mare, plaster falling off the walls and everything, and I still need to make new curtains too, but I needed somewhere to keep my small collection of buttons, so I have made these over the last few days. Hopefully they will fit my new dresser.
I did measure the gap for them, but I haven't tried them yet. I made 2, well because the shelf will take 2, but I didn't realise just how big they would be, so all my little boxes fit in one fabric box. Now the other is housing my huge rolls of ribbon with lots of room to spare.
The floral fabric I have had for years and I'm really pleased I finally have a use for it (it might even end up on the sofas as cushion covers too), and the lovely pink check fabric was part of a parcel from the very lovely Heather.
Even though I haven't posted for a while, I still haven't got much news without moaning on about what's been happening, so I won't bore you all with that.
Love and blessings in Christ

They are yummy boxes, very pretty. I tried to make one from the Sew Pretty book but thought there was probably a better way....... perhaps you can tell me how!
Sorry you've had so many troubles recently. xx

Lovely boxes BM. How did you make them?
Hang in there and keep your chin up!
love xx
Poor you. Decorating never helps, particularly plaster and the dust it creates. I hope it's all finished soon, and you can get on a more even track. The boxes are gorgeous - very pretty.
Big hugs. xxxxxxx
Your boxes are lovely, and so pretty. I sympathise with your decorating problems. When my builders were making a space to put in my Aga they managed to knock a hole through to my neighbours, it was large enough for me to fit my head through and see into their kitchen, at that point I had never even met them....It was a nightmare but it could only get better after that! Hope it does for you too. Mandy
Lainey, Did you nick my cake!
When will you update your blog? i miss you.

Gorgeous baskets, would love a tutorial! Are these the ones you used the ironing pad as lining for?
Don't want to make the Angle Grinder jealous but need to say that I have used my giveaway bag every day for work this week and it has made me smile every day! Thanks again, so so much :)
Oh But i am Jelly-ous Annie and always shall be, but if anyone had to have it, it had to be you ..... mutter ..... mutter ..... mutter.
:-)
BM .... belatedly wishing you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I just posted on Angel's website and the word verification came up as "Bless" .... spooky but true for both of you.
Hi BM
Have tagged you .... see my blog for details!
Don't feel obliged to do it though - just a bit of fun!
