31st January 2024... plasterboarding.


Covering up the stone with plasterboard and rock wool, helps keep heat in and out!
It's behind the drawer stack , so not losing any character!

23rd January 2024...Bag


What I've been doing, whilst plasterboard man is upstairs!

I used an existing canvas bag, used scraps to cover, stitched around them, added a few buttons and then lined inside with an old shirt, using the sleeve ends for internal pockets.... et voilà
