Painting

Bought some Annie Sloan chalk paint a few months ago and have eventually painted this lovely cupboard in the shade Country Grey. A great place to store my new products. What will I put on the top though? Any ideas?

Well that's another pressie made!! Cute knitted hat with ear flaps and tassels will be winging its way to Alba in Italy. Made today from lovely yarn hand spun at Chesters by the Border Tart. 

Business Cards

Am just sitting at the kitchen table making some new business cards. Going to pick up on an idea I found on Adeline Stone's blog to write a short quote on each card. 

Quote for today - "If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it" (William Arthur Ward)
