I never know

I always think I don't do anything worth blogging about, that on one would be interested in anything I have made or done. Then when I do make something I always forget to take any photos.

We've been having our bathroom redone & I've been looking for a towel rail, well shelving unit to replace the one that we had up before. It was chrome but had gone a bit rusty in places, & I wanted one more or less the same as it served the purpose, but I couldn't find one anywhere not even the same one. So as I had spray painted an old gold framed mirror silver when we did the living room the other year I thought I would have a go at doing the same to the shelving unit.

So off to the DIY store I go & come back with some chrome spray paint, but then had to wait for weather to be right to do it. Then yesterday we started, gave it a couple of coats letting it dry in between, then brought it in to dry over night ( you know what men are like they have to investigate to see if you've done it right & my husband touched it to see if it was dry & no it wasn't lol)  before giving it an other today. Well didn't get round to doing any today as went out for a lovely meal with my parents so hoping to finish it  tomorrow & this time hopefully I'll remember to take some photos .

    1. Thanks Mark I always doubt anything I make & always think that it's not very good so people wouldn't want to see it. I like lots of crafts card making, scrap booking, also making my own scrap books, sewing like cushions & I made my youngest a bedspread when she had a cabin bed as shop brought one's didn't fit. I have also made a cover to go over my cricut machine. And a bag to fit my silhouette portrait in at the bottom with it's own opening & a top compartment for my papers etc, & the leads for my machine. And of course the mirror for the living room & mirror shelves for the bathroom. So as you can see I will try almost anything. Thanks for your offer of help & will give you a shout when I need it.
