Its been a while since I felt well enough to do anything. The last few months have been pretty hard on us , but that's life I suppose. The weather is so gorgeous now after the wet spell and that in itself is a boost to us all.
To day is an old round tray that I always loved and I made a cover with remnants and did a Crazy quilted cover. I backed it with a non- slip backing so its doesn't move. Great for drinks in the garden on a hot day. I did this for Fiskars Design team project and there is a small tutorial on the Fiskarettes site, the logo is on my side bar. Some great Ideas from the rest of the team too, so please take a look. We had a lovely family and friends meal out for Andrew's 80th Birthday last Friday, and I've added a few pictures of his big day, maybe a cuppa will be required before you start. xx.
I guess there will not be much crafting done if the weather stays like this, but we will all catch up again so get the sunshine while you can. Hugs Rita xxx
