Mothers Day

The last few days I have busy in my little studio cutting, gluing, punching, stitching, pinning and generally enjoying some creative time with my sheet music.

I made some little Mothers Day gifts for both our mums

hanging hearts with crystals

Paper daisies

decoupage eggs with ribbon & lace

 

Happy Mothers Day

 

To My Mum

 

 

 and to Kevin's Mum

 

 

I hope that all Mums out there have a lovely Mothers Day <3

'Book Of Hearts' ~ Book Tag 2

Ok so I cheated a bit with my 'Book' tag on Tuesday
It was really a quick fix.
I started this one last week for the 'Book' theme and lost my way a bit with it.

So in an attempt to keep on track,

 keep my studio in order and finish even the tiniest projects I start

 and not leave them lying around,

I pushed myself to get it finished before the week was out.

So here it is

Book Tag 2

'Book Of Hearts'

I was kinda carrying on from the heart theme for February and decided to make a little book out of sheet music and fill the pages with little hearts.

Tag: Recycled greeting card stamped with fabric paint & heart stamp

Embellishments: Dyed scrim, Painted Sheet music book.
 a shell button with space dyed cords
and handmade sparkly metal bead

Metal heart painted and embossed.

Ribbon tie in vintage pink.

Front cover large heart punched from a chocolate wrapper with angels
 various hearts fill the pages cut and punched out from sheet music , painted and embossed watercolour paper, gold chocolate foil wrapper,

 postage stamp, painted watercolour paper, port bottle paper seal,
silk and painted watercolour paper.
you can see also on the last page that |I have stitched the book onto the tag
using space dyed rayon ribbon.

Im really glad I pushed myself to go back and finish it, I really like it now

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Scrappy Hearts

The little boxes I keep on my cutting table for all the little leftover scraps from projects are filling up

 and are inspiring in themselves,

I opened the one with all the blues and greens and enjoyed an afternoon last week

making these little Scrappy happy hearts.

I was going to make them hanging hearts,

 then I thought they might look nice adorning a wreath,

 but they are so tactile I feel more inclined to display them loose,

where they can be picked up

 touched and held

 in your hand

 they are lovely to hold and

 so full of happy!

So they are

 available as is

 to do with what you wish and enjoy........here
