Hope you had a lovely weekend? Welcome to September! Look what I found hiding behind my bedroom curtain today -
How lovely is that?! Wasn't expecting such a lovely little visitor, but there ya go! As you can see I managed to transfer my guest to a more suitable habitat and after a bijou drinky it flew off quite happily. Awwww.
So, today's been one of those surprisingly BUSY days - lots of small jobs to do which seem to take FOREVER! However, I found some time this afternoon for a li'l project which is made entirely from scraps and bits 'n' pieces. I wanted to make a little thing to post here today as a surprise for my mum if she checks my blog as she might need a cheery up thingy! I found a piece of off-cut packing cardboard and some scrap paper and made a little country scene, added some chipbard shapes (from my hoard!) and added some shading and detail with a mixture of pens.
After sitting and staring at it for a while I decided that it HAD to be a little wall hanging so I pierced some holes with my book-binding awl, threaded through some turquoise craft wire and added some ribbon and yarn offcuts, beads and charms -
I really love this little bird and the countryside he lives in . Amazing what can be made from scraps of paper and imagination . He absolutely had the desired effect .... and he is even more attractive hanging on my wall ... in the flesh..( or feather ) thank you xxx
