Today my brain is numb from feeling un well - bad tummy and headache that feels like it is splitting my perception of life in half.
So on that charming and happy note I am blogging my latest blogable bits.
I was with my mum the other day having a good nose round the thrift shops in Bexhill - when I found this union jack tea towel. It was brand new with tag - so that kinda put me off (as it was crispy new and looked it) But it was 50p... so I bought it and came home to think about its future. Turns out I couldn't wait to alter it - as 10 minutes later I was to be found outside with bricks and sandpaper distressing the fabric. *FYI that works amazingly well*
Once I distressed it - I quilted the towel onto some wadding - following the lines of the union jack and so forth. Then I found some cute white and blue cotton stripe fabric and sewed the back on - turned it right way out - stuffed with old stuffing and part of an old duvet (to make it properly vintage style heavy, lumpy etc) and sewed it up!
I am pretty pleased with it really.... what do you think?
Today is my turn on the Fiskars UK (Fiskarettes) Blog - and I made two projects this week. A card for my parents anniversary....
which I spritzed with mist to highlight and sparkle...
And a LO featuring Ben & Fin on mini tractors...
You see that cute cloud pattern? that is giant patterned paper tape! Its called "Cute Paper Tape" or something - its about 2" wide and I LOVE it...
The layout is bright and colourful - just how I felt about the day the photo was taken...
Come back 2morrow for some REALLY cool news.....
Till then - I am off for a lay down in a darkened room.
