Start of another project

Finally made a start on the much awaited Christmas tree skirt. I've sewn the large petals together but of course no matter how careful and precise you think you've been it doesn't lay flat.  So next job is to carry on tweaking until it does before I iron the seams.

Project #11

Just a small project, making an anniversary card for my hubby.  Used my new bargain stamps, and as usual it didn't turn out quite how I imagined!

Grapes!

Some years ago I picked up a vine from Poddingtons going cheap.  And this year I have grapes! They may not be edible but nice to see.

A little gift

My 1st attempt at making a little lavender house hanger for a new home gift. My Friend is moving to the coast so the nautical themed fabric I had was perfect.  Also used the blanket stitch on sewing machine for the first time ever!

Project #10

I was a little naughty last week when I made a visit to Coleman's Warehouse.  I spotted the Stamps Away step shelf  which I needed!  Had seen Ali on C&C recently and had a thought that this would be great at the flower festival this year for displaying lots of handmade goodies.   Painted it with gesso then used Cosmic shimmer Matt Chalk paint in Honeysuckle. Painted the edges with PaperArtsy Toad Hall followed by crackle accent and then lightly rubbed over with the honeysuckle.  Papers used are from K and Co Ancestry collection.  Undecided whether to add more decoration but for now it's ready to use.
