Cloth

I was asked about one of the photos from my sampler:



and whether that was the interior of my house. I so wish that were true! It comes from Cloth Fabric in Sydney - an amazing shop where the owner works with local artists to create textiles in a traditional way.



I could have bought everything in this shop...



...the wallpaper, those paintings...



...those cushions, that vase...



...that lovely, lovely lamp...



...all those delicious ornaments...



...all of it, really...

Instead I had to content myself with some small fabric off cuts:








(sorry, that could have done with a good iron before I took the photo, but you get the gist.)

And, inspired by the use of so much hemp (or perhaps in another rush of blood to the head), I decided that a couple of coffee sacks might be just the ticket, so I begged these for free from a Sydney coffee shop:







(again, iron entirely absent...)

I have an idea for the Cloth fabrics but more of that another time. No idea what I'll do with the coffee sacks. Cushion cover? Lampshade? All suggestions welcome.

In another life, my house will be full of Cloth.

PS I need some help. I love the "you might also like..." links at the end of each post on lots of other blogs, but I've just tried to find out how to do it in mine and just can't. (it's 5.30am and I am stupid with jet lag) Can anyone point me in the right direction? I thought it might be "links to old blogs" but I've already got that on the right hand side. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. C.

PPS So, I figured it out (sort of). After struggling a bit more with it, I went onto the blogger help forum and simply typed "you might also like" and it led me to a free and ad-free widget download that does the business.  Still haven't figured out how to customise the selection of the three old post referrals, but it's a start.
