I simply have to get Broadband, Dial Up is taking forever to load, , and to view other Blogs is so slow and frustrating!
But, I have been very busy, still crafting etc for The Rose Room's Christmas Day this Saturday.
The three boxes are all made from Vintage linens, that I cunningly sourced from Rachael's stash!
Raised eyebrows is the only reaction I got when I showed Rachael what I had made with her precious fabrics and laces -- but all for for a good cause was my justification
A covered heart box with recycled laces, vintage linen and silver Christmas trim.
I know -this one is `over the top!'
This one is pretty, the cluster of flowers on the lid is made from crochet pieces that I cut and armed with my hot glue gun, I ruffled and gathered them .
Indirectly this really has nothing to do with craft, but I had spent the afternoon in my garage painting, and when I went out to photograph the pieces later - I felt two pair of eyes following me, my inseparable Tabby cats. The flash has caught their eyes!
This is what I was painting for Rachael's shop -work in progress!
I have also made for The Rose Room's Christmas day these little Cointreau and Cardamon mini cakes -it took longer to fashion the embellishments etc than to make the actual cakes
Very easy to make, and they are baked in small, clean spaghetti tins which I use every year
Finally.... this is fabulous, I also up-lifted this from R's garage, tossed in a corner, covered in dust , some of the cane had unwound, so with hammer, tacks and a can of Royal Blue paint -YEHHHHHHH - more raised eyebrows!!, but doesn't it look wonderful?
