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.
