Tag Tuesday - Lace ....and an Angel...

I LOVE using Lace in my projects...

...so had fun making this weeks tag.

Here is my 'Lace' tag

for

 Tag Tuesday

Made from a Manila tag wrapped in vintage lace.

I experimented with a rub-on transfer on to some cheesecloth.

added vintage buttons, charms, broken jewellery, distressed paper and a little tag.

Looking forward to next weeks theme...'Hearts'

and now for a reveal.....

I can show this as the lovely Jenny in Australia has received it now...

My first chunky ATC

I was inspired by Jenny after seeing her beautiful Art Blocks

...and was so lucky to beable to trade with her.

 This is what I created for Jenny

I drew the Angel, and coloured with water colour pencils, paints  and PaperArtsy Fresco finish paints.

 Crackle paint, lace, wings, heart, crown charm and vintage buttons.

....drawer knob, doily and I found this vintage velvet yoyo in my stash and thought it would top it off nicely!

Thanks again Jenny for a wonderful trade!

I want to make another one now!!.....

Thanks for peeking

and for all your lovely comments...

a HOME is where the heART is.....

...and a quiet Home it is today

The boys have gone back to school and college...

Phew...

The decorating is nearly complete !

It's amazing what a fresh lick of paint can do to the place....

I'm just Loving the shade of duck-egg blue in the kitchen

 ...and in the Lounge

All this re-decorating has been Hard Work,

and  has worn me out,

 I've gone and caught a rotten summer cold,

 So... feeling a little rough at the moment!

Now, time for a blog catch-up, me thinks !!

But First.....

Gonna put the kettle on...
