Living in the twilight zone !


I am sure I am living in the twilight zone,Peter Poltergeist(that was our name for him when the kids were young)has been at it again.
A year or so ago I bought several yards of beautiful sari fabric,cost a whole quid from the sally army shop in Bedford. I had the intention of making a bed hanging,I have a rattly but ok faux brass four poster.So as I am pretty useless at the moment with this rib injury I thought I would get the machine out and make a start.....so I looked on my main stash shelf,not there,I looked in the underbed bag thing,not there,I have searched the house high and low,emptied every cupboard,drawer and wardrobe shelf to no avail,now I often give give bits and pieces of fabric to friends who are Mums,Grand-mums and youth workers for costumes etc,but I wouldn't have given this away.......
So whilst hunting high and low, I came across a couple of pieces that ought to be on my stash shelf,so I went to put them on there and low and behold there was the missing fabric.......
I may be cracking up.
I have made the bed hanging and now have to make some window drapes with a beautiful two tone piece of organza that fell into my possession via the scout bazaar yesterday.This should be fun,slipping and sliding all over the place, un-ironable because it melts,but I will beat it.
I just need to find someone to assemble the top bit of the bed now,I suspect I am not up to it without a lot of wincing and squealing.

YOU HAVE A FOUR POSTER BED? How groovy is that,it will look fantastic.

Don't let Grubby off the hook. men are designed for building things.

I would bite the bullet and sew the organza by hand, it will only catch on the machine. Iron it between two damp tea towels.

A four poster bed - how glamorous! I bet it looks lovely with the fabric. Only you though could translate "resting" into making new drapes!
