Hello to you All. Hopefully you have had better weather than us to-day, its rained on and off for most of the day. Annie and I went up the coast to Gourock and visited the lovely Cardwell Garden Centre. I don't think we missed a thing and as always we had a few good laughs too. However, we put our purchases back in the car and went back in to the Craft Centre and Restaurant and again had a super time , bought more than I needed before going for a much needed coffee. On the road home we stopped at the smokehouse in Fairlie and bought some beautiful fish. So all in all we had a lovely day out.
My post to-day is a Poppy brooch that made for Annie's birthday to-morrow, and as she has already seen it I thought I would share. I started out with 3 red card circles that I cut using my SB. The leaves are also SB and after I put it to-gether I used about 4 coats of pinflair glaze to give it shine. I absolutely adore poppies and thought this would be nice to wear for Remembrance day. I ran out of time to make my own box so ended up recycling one from my stash.
Hope you all have a lovely week-end no matter what the weather. Hugs Rita xxx
