Another UFO Completed.....

Good morning everyone.
I hope everyone is well.
Today I want to share another UFO that is now.....'Finished'.
At the start of the year I decided to try and work my way 'slowly' through my stash of unfinished objects and projects.....all was going fairly well then I stopped.
Well anyway I have managed to complete another project......at last.

I'm sorry the photo isn't very good but I had to hang the bauble on the door to get a decent picture and the light was terrible. This is another Christmas bauble made from folded squares of material and pinned to a polystyrene egg. I bought the kit from The Harrogate Knitting & Stitching Show a couple of years ago and like many things it stayed in a drawer destined never to see the light of day.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
Have a lovely day.

She Passed.....

Congratulations Boo.....We're so proud of you.
Well Done.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

The Happy Little Cupcake

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well today.
The weather is miserable here and it looks as though it's rained most of the night but on a happier note my daughter has joined me in blogland. She has decided to start a blog so that she can record all her baking creations.....she just loves all things 'Cupcake'.....
This is her new blog....
The Happy Little Cupcake

Please pop over to have a look at her blog and give her a bit of encouragement.....I'm sure she'd really appreciate a visit and any advice you can give her.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Have a lovely day.

Bohemian Flower Wreath

Good evening everyone.
I hope you are all well.
First I would like to apologise for my lack of posts and visits to your blogs lately but I have been so busy with work and jobs at home that time seems to have been passing me by at a fair rate of knots......but I will try and catch up with you all soon.
This weekend I finally found some time to actually make something and finish it too.
I bought a 'Create A Wreath' kit from Craftwork Cards recently and thought I would sit down and have a play. There were actually two kits in the pack so I've given one to my daughter to make.

This kit is called 'Bohemian' and I followed the instructions but added a few extras along the way. I punched out some leaves from the left over packaging and finished off by adding a large pearl to the centre of one of the flowers and some Rhinestone Sparklers 'Paradise Aurora' from The Hobby House to the remaining blooms. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out but I must apologise for the terrible photo.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
Enjoy the rest of your evening.
