Handmade Heart...

Easy to make....fabric heart....

 Your word of choice could be... baby, joy, dream, heart or whatever takes your fancy.
Sew aida onto fabric heart.
Sew fabric heart to felt heart leaving a gap for stuffing. Stuff with filler, and stitch hole. Fray edges a bit if you like.
Attach ribbon and embelishments.
Fab gifts and fun to make. 






Passion flower...

An intense orange red, passion flower blooms attract butterflies,
and the bees love them too.
This is a tropical variety of passionflower vine.





Fabric Ribbon...


Dress up a whitewashed wooden box with fabric ribbon.
Easy to make, just fray edges of a strip of your favourite fabric (Just make sure it is  long enough to go around the box and allow for a bow).
Once frayed, put around the box and tie a bow at the front.






Dahlia...

What more can I say except - simply stunning!






Pretty Tiled Tin Bucket...

We have just retiled our fireplace hearth with these gorgeous tiles and I had some left...But what to do with them?  
On my foraging expedition at 'Bed Bath and Beyond' (I so love their sales table!) I came across these fab tin buckets.  Bonus is they are already painted, so I got this ecru coloured one (and a bright red one to be saved for a Christmas project). 
The Soaking word is not required, so this is where the tiles come to play...

All I did was cut a strip of tiles wide enough to cover the soaking word and used tile fix to stick it to the bucket.

Measure from the top rim so the tiles are evenly spaced...I used a hair dryer to help the drying process (otherwise the tiles tend to slip downwards).

Leave 24 hours, and grout.

Pop in a lovely potted chrysanthemum...
and there you have it.
A tiled pot of pretty!
