Ta dah! Project #4

A long over due project finally finished. A combination of an idea found in a past scrapbook magazine date ( approx. Oct 2011)  and contributor unknown ( don't have info ). Along with inspiration from the following YouTube stars.

The house box was brought 3 years ago when Jenny  and I  went to our first Great British Craft Festival that's how long it's been in the pipeline! Used some new stuff and old which has been great. I love my little butterfly  he was metal and I tried to paint him white without success then I remembered I had some shabbyblue emboss enamel from long ago, it worked a treat so will need to buy more butterflies from scotch lodge !

Really went out of my comfort zone with this but enjoyed it and pleased with the outcome. On to the next!!

Project #3

A little one experimenting with my new craft imagination paints and trying for a shabby chic look, Umm.  I also used a Tando Creative kit that a very nice friend brought me a few years ago.

A simple make for the shoeboxes

Found these kraft matchboxes in Colemans Warehouse  and thought good size for a little sewing kit. The boxes have been simply decorated and a coating of modge podge gloss for a bit of durability.  Inside are 4 card bobbins with different colour threads, a homemade needle and pin matchbook, white buttons, safety pins and they will also have a measuring tape. Scissors will be in the separate sewing bag!
