It's been a funny old week because I've had all sorts of odds and ends to 'finish off' .
Firstly, I rescued this plant stand (bought earlier in the year at the recycling centre!) from the garden and I've cleaned it up and given it a fresh lick of paint..F&B Cooking Apple Green.
As you can see,we have a very small porch, which was recently decorated with the same Crown Apple Green paint with which we did the kitchen.
In spite of a few moans from Mr Snippets about ' A flippin' obstacle course', I have managed to pretty up my porch as best I can...with...
and a couple of decoupaged items....
..not forgetting a print of one of my favourite places, Winchester...where I sooo much want to visit this Christmas but whether that will happen...who knows! ;-)
When I was last there at Christmas time, I happened to walk into Winchester Cathedral just as the choir were starting to sing and it brought tears to my eyes, it was so lovely.
Meanwhile, I will take much pleasure from glancing at the pic whenever I open my front door.
Another of my 'little projects' was to finish this cupboard (below) for the kitchen.
It was way back in June when I found it lurking in a corner at Sarah's Lavender Box.
A bit of a sad and sorry state, Sarah let me have it for a 'snip' .
Moving on ... I have been beavering away putting the finishing touches to two clipboards which I was asked to make, recently. My instructions were that they had to be: ''Pink, glitzy and very very girlie!'
Finally, you might think that these Christmas bits and pieces (below) look like a load of old plastic rubbish!
In fact they are 34 years old and come from some of the table decorations which I had at my first wedding!!
Lets just say that the decorations lasted longer than the marriage..LOL! ;-)
Anyway, I saved them and lo and behold, when it was my turn for crafts last week,I bought some driftwood hearts and we decorated them using my old table decorations.
Lovely... and tacky..and great way to recycle!!
Next time, we're taking the scissors to that old wedding dress!!! (only joking)
Have a great day! ;-)
