Chosen Fabric

Remember that lovely green striped fabric we found back in Feb?  Well, we did some research and it doesn't appear to be a current line.  Eek!  We went back to Anglia Furnishing Fabrics (very helpful people) and loved it just as much as we did the first time we saw it (always a good sign).  On asking about the availability we were reliably informed that what they had in stock was the remainder of the run... so we bought six metres of it!  Hopefully, if our calculations are on track then we've got enough to do the rock 'n' roll bed, the cab seats, and the door cards (with a bit left over for my mum who loves hoarding fabric remnants!).  To get an idea of what it's going to look like we draped it over the sofa.  Check this out, groovy or what?!

Beautiful!  It's going to look so cool!

Stripping Out Chesney

Well, here we are in March and things are finally starting to get underway!  It's been a couple of months since we collected our lovely four-wheeled friend and now we both have a week off as it's our birthdays so what better way to spend it than cat sitting for my mum and dad, making the most of having a big driveway, a garage full of tools, and the sunshine!  Here's a short video I put together of some snaps we took whilst removing all the gubbins.  What HAVE we let ourselves in for?!  Enjoy! ;o)
