Moving to wordpress

I'm moving this blog to wordpress as I'm not too happy with Blogger these days.
New address is http://stitchandshoot.wordpress.com/
I'll keep this one open but no new posts will appear here!

Thanks for reading x

Task complete! 3 cushion covers to match the blind fabric. My lounge is looking pretty good now, everything is tying together nicely and I've quite enjoyed making this stuff so far (except for the fiddly bits of the blinds).

I decided to make Roman blinds for my new lounge. My sofas are grey and the rug too, so I got this fabric from Ikea and made some blinds for the bay window. I think they came out pretty well. I had some help from my dad with getting them up thankfully, I don't know how I would have done it without him. Next thing will be making matching cushion covers.

Baking

I decided to make some office cakes at the weekend. I needed to cheer myself up after an unpleasant experience on Sunday so I baked a Victoria Sponge and Lemon Cupcakes. They didn't last too long at work!

My next task will be Rhubarb and Brown Sugar Muffins, then I'll be trying some stuff from the book I just got from Amazon - Red Velvet & Chocolate Heartache. I'm looking forward to trying these and baking cakes with vegetables. The taste test of the courgette cakes my lovely friend Rachael made was very positive - yum!
