Projects and Updates

Hello Hello!
I hope you all had a great weekend. Believe it or not: I spent yesterday drinking Pimms in the sun while enjoying a braai. It was mah-velous! I could get used to this whole "Summer in the UK" thing... Apart from:
1. The pessimistic, dour chaps who insist that this burst of sunshine means loads of rain in May/June
2. All the pasty, pork-pink flesh that is being exposed...
3. Everyone referring to a "Braai" as a "Barbecue"! What nonsense! Barbecue is a flavour of Simba chips, dammit! Braai-ing is a lifestyle!
In other news, remember my cushion project? I loved the idea of the one below so much

That it inspired me to assist in the redecoration of #1's flat! 
For my Union Jack cushion; I found a gorgeous dark-red paisley print fabric that I used for the red part, a floral cream print for the next layer and black linen for the base. With the left over material I made the "Love Birds" cushion, as I am loving birds, and love :-) Awwwwww...

This is the resulting couch shot with new cushions! Note: there are no "before" pics; as the eye's cannot "un-see" once they have seen... ha ha ha ha ha! Just joking; #1's flat is great - it is just in need of some *cough* decorative aspects...
IN OTHER NEWS:
I have a job interview on Wednesday! Hold thumbs for me... and whatever else you want to hold if you think it will bring me good luck! 
So excited!
Chat soon,
