I was going to just grow dahlias again this year (grew them for the first time last year and from June-Oct I had a vase full in the house) but I'll take a look at that website for more inspiration.<br /><br />The rocking chair looks fab!! Sooooo nice with the crochet blanket, you've done an excellent job.<br /><br />Don't let the chair put you off painting other things, I hate painting chairs and little tables with fancy legs as they are so fiddly. You can take a little paint and add a bit of water which does help it go into the twiddly bits.<br /><br />Painting a nice flat surface is a different matter entirely, it's much quicker and more fun!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />S xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11959932194973002007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211816448136305927.post-89052242558227719102012-03-05T10:54:18.718+00:002012-03-05T10:54:18.718+00:00Hi Nicki.

They are beautiful & make the house look really fresh & springlike : ).<br />I hadn't been to Bedford for a long, long time, but I was pleasantly surprises to see some beautiful little, unique shops! I missed the pretty tea towels though!!<br />Congrats on the gorgeous blanket, and your refurb of the rocking chair!! I don't enjoy the painting, but make it more bearable by putting on my favourite music in the garage, & singing & dancing as I paint!

Is that cushion a Kate Foreman one in from of the C&R one or are they both C&R's? (or both KF?)<br /><br />Those flowers are suuuuuper.
