Coffee anyone?

When I'm not going to  bed at 9 o'clock *pause for effect*.........  I know, I know, I need to get a life.  The other night I wanted to go to bed at 8.30 but Mr J and P wouldn't let me.  He said that I shouldn't be going to bed earlier than my 11 year old daughter.  I expect he's probably right.  Anyway, when I'm not going to bed at 9 o'clock, I've actually been making things.

Now, don't laugh, but this is a patchwork coffee cosy for a friend of mine.  Patchwork and pompom trimming are two very favourite things of mine, in case you didn't know.

One side:

The other side:

Yup, it's a bit bonkers.  I admit it.  But what's even more bonkers is that it matches my patchwork bathroom mat almost too well. 

I'm finding this oddly disconcerting:

Look, they're related!

I've also made cushion covers for little Miss J and P's room:

This seat pad for her new computer chair (£10 from ebay including delivery - cheap because it had a scratch on the seat which I've cleverly *er hem* covered with the seat pad) was made using a padded envelope.  Yes, I said padded envelope.  Instructions here.

I also painted this mirror which I blogged about here

aqua (from an old pot of paint festering in the cellar)

and it's now in Little Miss' room AND she actually likes it.

Talking of disconcerting things, Little Miss J and P's posters are not only multiplying but she appears to be displaying some unusual tendencies like superimposing Justin Bieber's head on this very muscular torso:

Eeek!

and Jessie J's head on Justin Bieber's body:

Should I be worried?
