BLOG 305

I have just got back from a weekend away so this will be a rapid blog. This weekend has been my sister’s Golden Wedding Anniversary so a super family gathering and a ‘Do’ was organised. Here’s what I found when I got back; Willow had made herself at home on my new table runner. Is that disrespect or what?!

 For an original gift for this wedding anniversary, I sprayed a box with gold paint.

I used rainbow colours to line the interior of the box.

I then sprayed a small pottery vase with gold paint.

The pot was filled with £50 in one pound coins. Chocolate coins and Ferrero Roche chocolates were used to top up the pot and fill the box. It was labelled as Gwyn and Pete’s pot of gold.

I always like to make a card too and this one utilised the decorative stitches on my sewing machine. I sewed through a layer of fabric and wadding, trimmed the edge with a pinked rotary cutter and stuck it on a piece of card.

I haven’t been idle after the Gresford show as I have to have a project on the go. Here is a sneak preview.
