The weather has been absolutely gorgeous today. It makes such a difference to how I feel and I've had a thoroughly lovely day so far. I left Tony playing solitaire on the laptop and took myself off for a good long walk this morning. When I came back I put the edge boarding on the new potting shed. Then I decorated a little wooden heart to go on the centre line of the boarding. I was originally just going to mod podge the wording onto the heart but it looked a little bland so I added some hearts. It is currently drying and once it has had a second coat of mod podge and dried thoroughly it's going to look really pretty on the potting shed.
If it doesn't rain tomorrow I will nail it on and show you what I mean.
Then I decided to upcycle some old birthday and Christmas cards. I've cut loads of templates so that I can make some decorated applique squares. I have so much fabric to use up and it will make the job a whole lot easier.
Love the heart for the shed & can't wait to see it in place. Your applique shapes look interesting & here I am wondering what they will become. I found an old QAL project which I started a few years ago, but ran out of a certain fabric on the first clue so never went ahead with anymore. Inspiration struck & it's going to be a baby quilt. We must both be in upcycling modes. Take care, stay safe & hugs.
ReplyDeleteI want to make a lovely country style quilt for the spare bed. It's on my to to list. Stay safe and warm. x
DeleteHow about some crochet bunting for the shed?Great way to use up scraps.

Stay safe.

That's a nice idea. I love bunting.. Sadly the baby isn't doing great and I'm waiting to hear how his scan went.
DeleteLooking forward to seeing the plaque in place. A great way to recycle using the cards.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! You ought to open a wee shop!

The heart looks great looking forward to seeing it in situ. I'm hoping I can get my hands on a sewing machine soon, they've been continually out of stock since the first lockdown. I'd love to learn to quilt so I look forward to anything you do.
