Coming Home.

 

Wasn't it only yesterday when l said my daughter would be home in 6 weeks (for Christmas)....well that's this Friday..... l fluffed around in the spare bedroom and prettied it up for her,

 

....and thought hmmm...maybe l'll take some pics.....course l won't leave all the roses laying around on the pillows....not so comfy haha....It's all rather girlie but hopefully she'll just be happy to have somewhere to lay her head :-))

 

l bought this framed cross for son which l thought might go nicely with the medieval-ish theme he's got going on at his place, but he just looked at it and said no Mum....just nuh!!

I figured l could do SOMETHING with it, so l stripped the cross from the backing board and removed the glass from the frame....a couple of coats of dry brushed torquoise paint, and a little decorating on the cross and this is the result....Oh yeh and l hung a necklace behind the frame also.

 

 



It forms part of the new wall display in the spare room.

 

 

The feathered wreath was very simple to make...all you need is a wreath and a bag of feathers. l glued these on completely randomly til it was fully covered. Hung a bell in the centre and a merry christmas sign underneath. A fabric bow which l also glued on, holds it on to a hook. 

 

 

 The once plain glass bottle (holding the rose) was coated all over on the inside with pearly white nail polish which  produced this pale opaque sheen. Found another vintage butterfly brooch for my collection.

 

This lovely embroidered sheet came from the opshop ($10.00)....out of it's old packaging it came..... into good use on the spare bed.

 

 

 

 

 

Lots of lace and flowers. 

 

A new "old plaster Mary" (with child) to add to the collection....both have been beheaded and reheaded at some stage....which just adds to their character and charm:-)) 

 

 

l'm hoping that when daughter's here she'll add her create touch to a couple of posts.....anyway l've mentioned it to her and she didn't say no...so we'll see.

 

Thanks so much for dropping by and leaving your lovely comments at this busy, busy time of the year..... Have a fantastic week, til next time.
