 Next party preparation item ticked off the agenda...



 ...table runners for the kitchen and deck tables.
One thing this party sure is doing is kicking me into touch with projects for the house that have been on the To Do list for aeons.


Yesterday was a very productive screen printing day. With the weather being so beautiful I was able to print, dry the screen and reprint in a different colour far faster than usual.
This left me a little window of opportunity to print up a couple of table runners.
I bought this beautiful pale blue linen in ready made table runner width from Ikea last year (that's how long I've been waiting to make these). Unfortunately it is now discontinued which makes me exceedingly cross I didn't buy the whole darn bolt.


The combination with the white ink is really pleasing and I am so cross about not having more as matching napkins would have gone down a treat.

If you do happen to be in your local Ikea and if by some miracle they have some still in stock, please do let me know and I may even make you a set to say a big thank you ;-)

This looks excellent !

Maybe you should ask IKEA if they want to sell your tablerunners!??
