Rubbish photos

I had a very welcome day off work the other day and how did I spend it?  Rummaging through stuff like this:

    1. I'm so tempted to rescue some of that beautiful mattress fabric with my stanley knife too! I've got one in mind up the road that has such gorgeous fabric, and I've half made a plan to leave for work early tomorrow so I can rescue some of that soggy fabric on the way!
