Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady

I can remember this when it first came out.  In fact I bought some wallpaper the poppy design for my kitchen.  It got left behind when I split from my ex husband.  However I do have several other things that I do have.  The intention is to have my bedroom decorated with the honeysuckle rose design eventually.  I have all the bedding I bought it brand new but at the time they did not do the bedding in king size.  We have a super king quilt on the bed and so I thought I would extend the quilt covers with long strips/panels of fabric finished off with some broderie anglais lace frill trim.

Why on earth am I talking about this at the moment.  Well truth is I found my Country Diary book of crafts by Annette Mitchell when sorting out earlier on. There are lits of lovely projects in there and in due course I am going to make some of them to go with and compliment those items already to hand. I had also thought that I will buy some new bedlinen and embroider it with roses. There is a big heavy cotton heirloom crochet bedspread in the book which I am also hoping to make.  Will have to stockpile the cotton for that.

I have also been buying the wallpaper where I can as well.

My hope is to eventually have a country style bedroom erring more on the side of Victorian styling.  I already have two very large pine wardrobes two bedside cabinets a pine chest of drawers (I a also have a big pine blanket box that used to belong to my Dad.  Its an old one having previously belonged to my Dad's friend. I am hoping to get another chest of drawers in due course) i also have a big cream metal bedstead and I am after a pine dressing table which will probably be the last item of furniture.

I also have the curtains those being brand new also.

There are several Royal Winton pottery bits and bobs as well.

I have also obtained further cross stitch kits and charts.  I have already started on my hexie quilt.  So a lot in hand and a lit of plans.  However realistically it is going to take me a little while to achieve.  Wish me luck.

This is what I am hoping to achieve.  Pretty isn't it.

Catch  you soon.
