My week in craft: Feb 7 - 14

Hi beautiful

It's Valentine's Day and that means hearts!

Ted & Brianna with vintage button heart
This week I added a Butterfly Heart display to my heart collection. 

Butterfly Hearts
Fun to make from pretty cardstock. (Kaisercraft Summer Breeze). I used 4 different stencils to draw the outlines, hand cut, stitched in pairs and glued to lengths of ribbons. Voila - my February heart installation.

It's surprising how many hearts I have in my home!

Heart collage
The angel girl is purchased - a couple of years ago in historic Beechworth, Victoria. She hangs from my craft room doorknob. The vintage buttons heart I made a few years ago, using buttons from my Mother's button tin!

Love to you on this Valentine's Day.

My week in craft: Feb 1 - 6

Hi beautiful

A week of blessings ....

Swimming and reading,
Watercolor play,
Learning off the page techniques with others,
Sharing happiness with loved ones.

By the Sea - photo plaque
Thanks to Jane Tregenza workshop for a wonderful time creating this miniature plaque using Graphic 45 By the Sea papers. I loved all the embellishments Jane included in this kit - the tiny bottle filled with beads, the anchor, the sea horse key are just a few. Love the little medallion inscribed with the words "may you always have a shell in your pocket and sand between your toes".

Joy and happiness to you in the coming week.

Love
