Audrey

Hello there, how are you? I hope you are fine and dandy. There hasn't been much crafting going on around here lately, just a bit of crochet here and there. I have been painting the floorboards in the lounge and it has been more of a pain than I thought. Stuff everywhere, paint everywhere and dust everywhere. These things always seem to take longer than anticipated. We have now nearly done one half and are about to move onto the other. 

I am also working on a new find. She is called Audrey, I don't know why, she just seemed to be an Audrey. I found her at the car boot. We haven't been to a car boot since last summer but called in at one the other day just as everyone was packing up. I spotted Audrey from afar, ran over (well more of a jog than a run) and knew that she had come home with us. Here she is....


As you can see she is looking rather shabby and not in a chic way. I am currently giving her a new lick of paint and then I will reupholster her so that she can shine in her own special way. Thanks for popping in, I hope you have a great week. x


Oh, I nearly forgot, I'm linking to Sophies blog so if you fancy seeing more thriftiness have a click. Also have a peep at her fabby studio.

  2. Audrey looks as if she has great potential! I look forward to seeing her makeover one day - it's amazing how you can change things with paint and fabric, I love it! I hope you'll soon get your floor painting finished too - it will be lovely when it's done. Have a great week.
