Feather your nest

 


As you can see in the sidebar I am participating in Feather your nest this month.  It's a sewing/stitching contest being held over at stumbles and stitches with some fantastic prizes up for grabs.  I strongly suggest you check it out.  All that is required is
  • That you make something for your own home
  • With stitches ie. sewing, hand stitching, crocheting, knitting or felting
  • Use some recycled/re-purposed materials
  • Must be made in 2012
I need to reiterate that there are some FABULOUS PRIZES up for grabs, seriously do yourself a favor, check it out!  Surely you need some new cushions for your couch ;)
Your welcome

Building days 13 - 21

Another bunch of pics of our house build




 Day 18 - missed
Day 20 - missed

Yes I got a little bit busy at work and missed the daylight a couple of days - it's not daylight savings anymore which means the cold wet weather is on the way :(
Hope you all have a super safe, enjoyable Easter

Easy peasy art!


We've had an empty frame hanging in our lounge for the past twelve months or more.  As we've already got heaps of photos in the room already I decided I'd make some artwork to put in there. 


All I did was grab my sketchbook, a black pen and I borrowed Sam's paint tray.


I drew eight 4 x 6 rectangles (size I required for the frames) then just doodled some pictures and patterns and used the yellow paint a little here and there and within an hour or so I had myself a completed set of wall art.

 

I know I won't be winning any prizes with it but hey it's better than empty spots and easily changed if I get bored of it.
