Bee happy ........ get parcels

With all of this snowy weather about I am impressed with the delivery services.

My parcels have been delivered to me and the people are usually very friendly.

I have ordered a couple of things in the sales which have reached me in good time. I don't know if you are the same as me, but when I have ordered something online I want it there and then!

I have just ordered some Tilda fabric from Panduro Hobby and had delivery on some shadow boxes from Cox and Cox which are already up on the wall.

I have 2 of these shadow boxes on my office wall.

I can't wait for my Tilda fabric to be delivered, 4 different patterns and some ribbons, all in the sales.

I hope you are getting your parcels safely delivered in this cold, icy weather.

Don't forget to enter my Valentine's giveaway 

Hope you are all keeping well and warm.

Bee happy ..... change of display

Another display now I have put away Christmas.

Some new additions to my collection.

Cox and Cox tea light holders from TX Maxx.

Glass display box from Paperchase in the sale.

A plant pot from TX Maxx in the reduced section before Christmas, it was grey with white showing through.

I wanted it white with the grey showing through so I used some white spray paint and distressed it when it was dry. I then added some roses and it looks great.

I know I went photo crazy but I am now using Chrome so I can add photos once again!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Bee happy ..... get the glue out!

I found this box the other day when sorting out a few things and wondered what I could do with it.

It was holding a necklace from Boden but now the necklace is on my hooks the box was redundant!

It has a little ribbon tag which pulls a drawer out.

After wondering for a few days I decided to get out the glue and stick bits to it and use my new stamps from Cox and Cox!

I'm really pleased with the result, I think I'm going to store my luggage tags in when I have stamped or decoupaged them :)

Bee happy ..... grow a tree

Thanks for your help, I have managed it somehow, it seems to be different everytime loading pics!!

Don't rub your eyes, it is a very large envelope.  There is a reason, it was to keep my wall stickers safe from Cox and Cox!

I ordered 2 sets of stickers for my hallway, one tree for the wall near the front door and the other set for the landing upstairs.

Just have to paint the walls first.

Have a great weekend everyone, I'm off to Bicester tomorrow!

Bee happy .... make hearts

I've been a busy bee making hearts.  I love hearts and have loads around the house, fabric, wooden, twigs, metal. 

I have been inspired by Cox and Cox who sell white wedding hearts in packs of 24.  Because I am already married and I only wanted a couple I made them myself  :)

I used a fabric sample from John Lewis and got both hearts out of one sample.

I draw a paper shape I was happy with then cut out 4 pieces. 

Then I made up the hearts, filled and hand stitched the hole closed.

I then used some fine craft wire to poke through the fabric at the top of the heart, adding buttons and beads. 

I finished off twisting the wire around the last bead so everything didn't fall off, making sure I had loads of spare wire to hang it with.

I was also inspired by Diane at Heartshaped, find her at 

http://diane-heartshaped.blogspot.com/  

to make this heart.  It's longer than I usually make but I love the shape.  I will be making more like this me thinks.

I added loads of bits and bobs and am really pleased with the results.
