Crafter's Corner

They're lovely @Jenny namaste makes me wanna buy a teapot!

Mrs Shiney's handbag and arrangements are just beautiful @shiney

I'll go check see if I have any photos of some things I've done

 

I used to do paper crafting, a lot using photographs, cards and framed pictures etc. Here are a few personal ones I've just dug out from my puter.

Mother's Day card using my dad and step-mum's photo:

 

A hanging decoration with my Bonny boy on

 

A Memory Box I did using photos of my grandparents

 

My dear old mum, gone too many years ago, looking gorgeous in her uniform

 

...and I'll stop boring you now with one last framed picture I did by decoupage layering a photo of, yes you guessed it, my Bonny boy again! a cat with character...

 

Delightful SharonL. Wasn't your Mum stunning.....
Jenny

 

Thanks Jenny yes I think so too.

I very nearly lost that photo. I had it in my handbag, planning to have it enlarged and copies made for myself, my dad, my sister & brother - and my bag was snatched when I worked in Cheetham Hill many years ago

Eventually I had a call from the police saying my bag had been found and brought into the station and that it had been found on waste ground behind the Jewish Museum so we went along and rummaged around in the undergrowth and found various bits and pieces the thief had just thrown away.....and this tiny photo of my mum was there, in the grass, so she was recovered with only a tiny rip in one corner to show for her "adventure"

 

A lovely assortment there Sharon. I like the Memory Box idea.

 

Thanks @Sheal, yeah those memory boxes are great for putting any treasures in along with your photos . My other grandad had a harmonica that I'd have liked to use but can I track the bloomin thing down anywhere?

 

It'll come to light when you're not looking for it Sharon.

 

Marvellous Sharon

 

Thanks @Lolimac

 

Just finished my mates xmas prezzie and this is the only place i can post it where she wont see

She bought her first home with her bf recently which is a caravan and thought i wld make something for it

So i have made this star cushion because she is a star and thought it wld be a bit of fun. One side is pinks and purples and oranges and the other side is greens and blues so hopefully will either match or contrast with whatever colour scheme she eventually chooses

 

Wow, that's great fun Dips. Love the concept very much,
Jenny
