CONSOLE FINISHED

Large Black TV Unit that we cut in two to make 2 console tables one for the dining room and one for my shed...all finished now

Called at Ikea to pick up the wooden top yesterday on the way home from Brum

Bit to long and at first thought we would cut the extra length down but decided to keep it and l may add a small rail each end for hanging stuff on but not sure yet

The other half of the black unit is also painted white and in my shed for the laptop printer and laminator
MAY 27TH 2011 UPDATE...
moved in 2010 and the consoles together made me a big craft room table to work on
click link to see it now
soon to be re-hacked into a hinged sandwich craft table to hide the mess and do an instant tidy up so the room can be used by all, all the time and not just as a craft space

WE CAN DO SQUARES TOO...AND QUEUES!!!

Queued over 2 hours to see the 'STAFFORDSHIRE HOARD'

With beautiful blue skies and surrounded by beautiful architecture

up the stairs and into the 1st room....wonderful skylight

Not looking quit so pretty in the Central Library...needs a good clean

Chatted with queuing neighbours......shared a joke or two, had coffee then we got to the gold 1,500 piece found but only a few on show until the 13th October in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery

was it worth it?

YES, it was even to see the few but beautiful crafted gem and mud laden relics of a long gone era

Do hope they manage to stay in Mercia one of the biggest Kingdoms of 700AD

NO PHOTOS OF THE GOLD...NOT ALLOWED BUT LOTS ON THE FLICKR SITE

HOW TO MAKE A WINDOW STICKER/DRINKS MAT

1st window sticker l made in a Cath Kidston print to co-ordinate with the interior

HOW TO MAKE A WINDOW STICKER OR DRINKS MAT

1st ASK PERMISSION TO USE LOGO....and this will only be given for personal use not to sell...or you would infringe on copy right

Uncle Wilco gave me permission to use his 'We Love Sheds' logo on some drinks mats bunting and window stickers for our sheds and camper

2nd right click on the logo and save to pictures then l printed out a sheet of 9 cut them out and glued onto chosen papers

l am using some Cath Kidston prints and other rose prints some off my own papers and Union Jacks

3rd Cut mat/sticker to size and laminate.....sealing all the edges, trim laminating sheet but leave a small clear edge or they won't be drinks/water proof!!!

simple, effective and a great way to pretty up you shed! hehehe

have fun

Union Jack window stickers and smaller sheets ready to be made into bunting

When l get round to painting the shed l'll hang the bunting and add pics to

'WE LOVE SHEDS' site

RECYCLED WALLFLOWERS

Made a whole stack of these flowers earlier in the year

Wondered what to do with them so decided to add them to a wall and maybe the shed ceiling...when it's painted

The large red one is about 10" diameter...and love the stripy stems

good use for old cardboard and wallpaper left overs

Originally the red ones were for a 3D canvas but changed my mind so they just sat there!!

Made from......recycled cat food boxes and old wallpaper give a 3D effect

Found some great Wallflower ideas on Google...mmmmmm a project for the new bandsaw!!
