Ooo lovely. I got a beautiful white set today, £3.50 for 4 big plates, 4 littler plates, 4 saucers and 4 bowls. So can make 4. But there not just round, they've got a crimped edge, they are beautiful. Almost too nice to drill haha. The 12" Cake middle part arrives tomorrow so can def do the 1 tomorrow, then will see how that goes, before ordering a few more tops. I ordered a beautiful bow handle, so will get more like that :) x

I bought a diamond drill bit 6mm, for all ceramics, so tiles as well, so bloke feels better and it's added to his growing toolbox haha. Yer hopefully will have a crack at it tomorrow! And will post a pic up :) If all goes well, i'm thinking i might go back to the charity shops, find a couple more sets, order the handles in bulk and selling a few on our local homemade crafts selling site on bookface. Put the money away for my wedding lingerie w/o my bloke knowing hehe ;) Have yu thought about selling them locally to you? xx
