Today, the 27th September 2008, we started the hard work of re-decorating my new shop!
First and foremost, I would like to say a BIG, BIG THANK YOU to my Mum, Dad, Roblin (my brother-in-law), Charlotte (my sister) and my husband Paul! I really appreciate all your help!
We started on the reception room today. This room was originally my sewing room. All the machines were moved out and the room was attacked by Dad, Rob and Paul. They found a fantastic surprise when they started removing the old carpet! A BEAUTIFUL parquet floor! It needs a lot of work because it's covered in adhesive from the carpet, but it will look amazing when it's sanded and treated.
They then proceeded to strip the walls whilst my Mum and I arranged all the machines and tables in my new work room, and sorted through a mountain of haberdashery. It looks great now - I'll be able to make some beautiful garments in there.
Charlotte then brought us all lunch - which gave us a chance for a much needed break! It had been a long, long morning!
Afterwards, the picture rail started to go up and the washing machine was re-plumbed into its new home.
Here's some photo's of the progress so far. Be sure to check back soon - I'll be updating this blog regularly to show you how we're getting on!
That's all for now - it's getting late and I'm off to bed!

Hello everyone! Just a quick blog to let you know that BT have now installed my telephone line.I can confirm that the telephone number for Silver Lining Sewing Rooms is:01254 679 345.
Thank you!
Rachel.
Hello! We've been busy getting things together for starting up Silver Lining. Things are going well, my business course is really helpful and I'm on schedule for starting up in a few weeks! My lovely new website is finally listed on the Google search engine, my new telephone line is being installed on Thursday the 25th September, the sign man came to visit to talk about the signs at the front of my shop and we have a first draft of my new business cards. I can't have them printed yet, because BT say that the number they have assigned me may change prior to installation, so I need to wait and see if it does.
We've been shopping for bits and bobs for the studio too. We (my husband Paul and I) have just got back from a Sunday afternoon shopping trip where we acquired a lovely big mirror, some shelving, wallpaper and a few other bits. How exciting!
The hard work starts next weekend, where we'll be busy decorating!
