My creative space…

After a bit of encouragement I’ve dragged out my very bestest vintage sheet set.

I’m unsure where this is heading but they won’t be going back in the cupboard unchopped.

Do pop in & add your link if you’re playing along this week.

Love the sheets, can just picture them in a cowboy themed room. However I think whatever you make of them will be about 600x nicer!

Its always nerve wracking working with something you really really cherish isn't it? I have a large piece of fabric printed with Australian animals and Humphrey b bear on it, its soooo cute (and brings back memories of my 80's childhood) I have yet to be able to come up with anything I could do with it!
Good luck and as always happy crafting,

Cripes. Usually it's only us who haven't the foggiest where you're going. But if you don’t know either…hold on to your hats horsies!

PS. I have every faith.
