Gift Box
Hello Folks. I'm sorry for not being able to blog very much this week. I'm struggling with a lung infection thats affecting my breathing. But I am on antibiotics and still have 2 to take. However, I managed in to my craft room to-day and produced my first hexagon box. Not the easiest of boxes to make I have to say, as I wanted mine to have a lid, so to the drawing board and managed to sort one out. I will have to make a few more before I'm entirely happy with my design. If anyone has a full proof way of making this style of box maybe they can help me. As its my first I'm pleased enough with it, but it took a long time to make.

Hello Rita
Gosh I hope you feel better soon, lung infections are not the best things to have. I love your box, the palette and the flower, even though you state that it took you a long time. (I always take a long time!)
This is not important because the result is just gorgeous, it has a feminine and soft appeal that is kind to the eye, and whoever receives it will be delighted.

I can sympathesize with the lung & breathing issues. I suffer from this as well, and it's no fun at all. Hope the antibiotics do their job & you soon feel much improved. Now I'm not sure why you didn't like this box. It is gorgeous! Love the vintage look of the lace trim, and the flower topper is lovely as are all your flowers. This looks like it should be on a boudoir table, sort of like what I'd expect to see in Downton Abbey. It is so elegant & stylish. TFS & Hugs. Be well soon.
Rita, so sorry to hear about your lung infection. Hope you recover soon.
This is a gorgeous hexagon box. It is beautifully decorated and looks perfect to me.
Have a lovely week and take care.
Hugs, Katie
Good morning Rita here are a few (((((hugs))))) in hope that they help.
So sorry to hear you have not been too good, hopefully when the tablets are finished that will be it.
Your box is stunning, I love it. I have tried to make this style, I had a template and even with that I did not have much success getting the lid to fit they way I would have wanted.
You have got far further than I ever did and made a wonderful box. I love how you have decorated it.
Happy crafting
Hugs for you both

Happy Sunday Rita and so sorry to hear you have not been well.... hope the worst is over by now!! Your box is stunning!!! I absolutely adore the colouring of it, that flower looks amazing!!!! I am sorry but I can't help you with how to do a box like that, I have never tried one but can well imagine how tricky it must be. I think you have done a fantastic job here!!
A beautiful box, lovely colour choices. Sorry I don't know of a foolproof way to make this shape unless you have an actual box scoring board which I imagine would help (I don't have one but think they are available). Hope you are feeling better now - take care.
Poor you! Hope the antibiotics do the trick and you feel better soon. This is beautiful! I tried a hexagon box one - not very successfully I hasten to add, but you have done a great job with this. I am n the process of decorating a round box - much easier. Love and hugs from Christine xx
Hi Rita - so sorry to hear about your lung problems - that must be awful and I hope you get back to full health soon. Your box is stunning and I was very impressed to hear you say you say that you made it from scratch - I wouldn't have a clue where to start - sorry x It looks absolutely perfect! Love it x

I cannot believe this is your first, it is expertly finished, adore the use of the lace. You always bring such elegance to your creations Rita.
Hope you feel a difference any day now and back to your normal self, you will need to be with all you have to accomplish, wow, do you have much to do!
Wishes

Hi Rita,
what a stunning box. This looks very difficult to make. I have made a round box before, but have never tried this design. I hated making the round one as it was quite difficult and fiddly to make.
Lots of love. Jenny L.
Your box is beautiful mammy. Love the colours and stunning embellishments. Hugs Annie x
Hope you're feeling better today Rita. Your box is beautiful, love the pretty lace and your decoration on the lid. Carol x
Such a beautiful box Rita! Hope u feel better real soon?
Hugs....Leanne
Hi Rita! Thanks for coming all the way from Scotland to visit me! Your beautiful box looks like a museum piece!! This is so far out of my league, all I can do is stare in awe!! I'm so sorry to hear that you have been suffering with a lung infection. There is nothing more debilitating than being unable to breathe and I hope it clears up completely soon! Hugs, Darnell
Rita your box is stunning, you have made a great first attempt, sorry you aren't to well, hopefully the tablets will start working soon. Hazel xxx
sorry you are having a hard time breathing, I know it's not fun, I have asthma........so take care!! I love this box, you always do such gorgeous projects!
Your box is a work of art Rita. Sorry to hear you are so unwell and I hope that you feel much better soon, also that hubby is ok as well. I've not been visiting blogs for a week or so, so I'm well behind on my commenting etc. Sending hugs for a speedy recovery. x
