My new studio is nearly finished!

I have had our garage converted into my studio... and this last week all the building work has been finished and I can start moving all my sewing stuff back in! I'm so excited!

I have been collecting images and ideas for the decor in my new room, and one was the white glass display cabinet in the above photo...

So I bought an old display cabinet from Ebay for £20 and I've used crackle paint it and it looks fantastic! This will be my storage area for all my threads, fabrics and trimmings...

I've got a long way to go to get the room finished inside... but this is a life long dream to have a room like this... and I am in my element designing and planning it all!

Personalised napkins are a great wedding gift...

When I was planning my own wedding in 2008, I embroidered monogrammed napkins for all our guests for our wedding breakfast...

And a few months after the wedding, I thought of setting up my own business to create personalised napkins to make other couples weddings unique.

We use our napkins regularly now at home, and they finish off table decorations for special occasions.

The flowers have be cut from our garden, and I love the casual display in a vintage mug.

Today we have family coming for Sunday dinner, and I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to show you how monogrammed napkins can be used after your wedding day.
