Crafty Wreath

A photo heavy post to share with you today. I brought this amazing kit from Tee Pee Crafts in July and I've only just had time to sit down and enjoy making it. 


Isn't it just fabulous. When I saw it at the NEC I knew I needed it to go in spare room/craft space and I was gutted when they said they'd sold out! They did however, very kindly, offer to make me a kit and post it out after the show (they even waived the postage costs!) and I can't thank them enough, because I adore it! 

The kit comes with everything to make this wreath 
All you need is a hot glue gun or a strong adhesive of your choice and some time. Sadly the kit isn't available on the website, but you can buy some of the elements on the website:
Burlap - here
Lace - here
Bobbins and scissors - here
Buttons - here

Similar elements are listed below:
Tape Measure Ribbon - here
Printed Cotton Ribbon - here

Twill Tape - here



That's all for now. Until next time, happy crafting!

A new Priest of the Church

Afternoon all, 

Just a quick card to share with you all today. Summer means lots of Ordinations to the church and as I have the privilege to know a number of Priests to be through the course of their training, I'm also blessed to get invitations to attend their ordinations also. 

I try to make every card unique to the Priest and this year, this was my card. The design isn't mine - it's from an embroidery pattern by Mary Corbet over at needleandtread. The design was printed onto heavy weight watercolour paper and layered. The image was coloured with my really old windsor and newton travel watercolour pallet. 




I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Until next time, happy crafting!
