Slow Progress!!

Things are progress quite slowly but enjoying spending some time here sorting things out etc.  Have really decided I love limed oak.  Have done one or two pieces to go in our new sitting room.  Also have been madly sticking on shells!! I have repainted a lovely old pine blanket chest which we have had for many years.  The inside is covered in a Stamford newspaper from 1867.  Have painted in Hardwick White and covered in black and white shells which I am now crackling.  Can't wait to see finished.  Have now painted the outside again with the brilliant Marston paint - so easy to paint with.  Going to blitz the workshop tomorrow and start getting ready for courses.  Have some new mdf bits for students to try from The MDF Man - do try his website.  Swinderby today - it is getting better but several dealers did't come today due to weather forcast.  Can't blame them.  One poor chap had a cabinet blow over his table and smash several things.  Bought a couple of pretty tables and lovely mirrors and another pretty french chair (more work for Ella).  Will take some new photos to post tomorrow. 

Closed this Wednesday

I am afraid I will be closed for the next few weeks due to building etc.  Have a lot of goodies to paint for the shop.  Some lovely tables, pretty shelves.  Also have Swinderby next week so possibility of some new things from there. Start workshops at the end of September so hopefully will be up and running by then.
