Hello. It's been ages I know. I have been putting my energies into getting my new knee replacement working. It's been 5 weeks exactly since I had the operation and despite a slip up in the shower (i feinted and had to be taken by ambulance to hospital - very exciting now but wasn't so much at the time!!!) a week after the operation all is going well. The physiotherapist is working it well so I will be ready for the next one due to happen on 4th December!
In the meantime and most recently we had a long bank holiday weekend which ended on October 7th and Tiffany , Jim and our two grandchildren came to stay. The weather was glorious and the weekend went too fast. I did however manage to give both Tiffany and Marley an early Birthday gift. Today I'll share Marley's and I'll show you Tiffany's at another time.
Here it is. A Bird House. I am so grateful to Laura Denison for the inspiration and design. It was such fun to make and I think the results were great. The roof flaps lift and inside is a photo album. I'll show you later how I decorated it.
Here's the Photo album that goes inside the little house.
The BLUE Page
This is the first page, each one has room for two small tags, a large tag that goes in the pocket that you can pull out, as well as the space on the back of the page.
The ORANGE Page
The second page, I used al sorts of scarps of paper as well as American Crafts - Dear Lizzy - Lucky Charm.
The PINK page
It was a lot of fun decorating the pages. Using all sorts of odds and ends in my stash.
The PEACH page
I was particularly pleased how this page turned out. I added lots of little rhinestone Bling.
The GREEN page
The American Crafts - Dear Lizzy - Lucky Charm papers are lovely to use.
The YELLOW Page
The last page of the album. I used lots of ribbons, wool and fibres for the tags that fitted into the pockets.
The COVERS - front and back
This is how I decorated the inside covers of the album.
One more of the outside of the little house. I was able to ask someone to make me the little dowel pegs for the front of the bird house.
The flowers I made using quilling papers.
Here are two video clips I made. The first is an introduction and the second shows you a bit more detail.
The main ingredients that I used to make this project:
I do hope you enjoyed your visit. It is lovely that you come and look, I really appreciate it.
