I wanted to share a great make-over that took place this week..The pictures show work in progress..I was given an old pot cupboard a number of years ago which I added some knobs too just to cheer it up and it proved a great storage piece for the kids toys..During a conversation with a great friend of mine Sarah..we thought it would make a great mock DRY SINK..Her hubby is fab at the woodwork and has now made various prim cubbies and shelves for other prim lovers and just loves a challenge I might add...He wanted in on the project..I emailed my measurements off to him and along with Sarah they designed the top and then Steve got to work with the wood and paint...At home at my end I got out my brushes and gave the old cupboard a prim paint job...I had picked up some old black knobs a while back still with their big wooden screws and attached them..I was all done and so was Steve..I just had to sit back and wait for the postie..We started this project on the monday 40 miles apart and the top arrived on thursday..I couldn't wait to get the wrapping off and put the top in place..It was just perfect...All that was left for me to do was add my prim bits..I just know you will agree the old pot cupboard now has a new lease of life..XX..*~*Blessings*~*

I am firstly a wife and mother to my six children and also grandma to 3 gorgeous littleuns..I have crafted as long as I can remember in my childhood and have always sewn..In my teens on leaving school I trained as an industrial sewing machinest and have done this most of my life..when my children were young I made most of their clothes for pleasure and then a dear friend introduced me to Quilting..I have done this for the past 12 years or so and really enjoy it..I loved the American quilt designs which then pointed me in the direction of primitive doll making and have been hooked ever since..I love to go to my workroom and sew..I hope you enjoy your visit with me and sharing my prim ramblings..
