I got my table cloth in the post which I won from The White House. It came in a cute pink bag with cute stickers on the tissue paper, thanks Shirl, I love it :)
Check out her lovely blog.
I have been updating my storage as I was running out of room for my East of India ribbons.
I looked in the garage for some wooden dowel but couldn't find anything. I was about to leave when I spotted my pink fishing net which I got in Woolacombe, North Devon when I wanted to go rock pooling :)
I had a brainwave!
I cut the end off my net handle (after checking the holes in the ribbon reels fitted) and hey presto a pink ribbon holder.
I screwed in 2 small hooks underneath the shelf and then attached ribbon round the pole, filled it with the rolls and then hooked the ribbon on the hooks.
I also decided to use an old tape measure to staple onto my sewing table for quick measuring.
I'm really pleased with the updates and now I can see my lovely ribbons better :)

ReplyDeleteSome wonderful ideas there! Great use of the tape measure...I am always losing mine, think I might do that with it.
ReplyDeleteCracking ideas - especially with that tape measure - definitely one to copy. I like East of India ribbon too and have a few but nothing like your lovely collection.
ReplyDeleteYou've clearly got your "Inspired Hat" on - mine went walk about recently and hasn't come back. I want it back!
I love the idea of the tape measure mind if I steal it.
