Hi there, those hearts look great, as you say, ideal for adding to gifts. Hope you are well and have a good week.
ReplyDeleteLove those hearts and beads - now there is a craft that I am strongly resisting as I know that it would be s slippery slope, so many beads twinkling and glistening, so little time, you can tell it would become an addiction, so I daren't go there!!

It's certainly been wild and wonderful weather hasn't it and I don't think much of today either. It's chucking it down here this morning so no gardening for me today!!

Hi Mel
ReplyDeletethanks for the visit - wow, isn't the weather aweful? I'm excited for you at the prospect of you having a full proper grown up desk... now get cracking that whip to ensure it is finished sometime soon.
I love those flowers you have done - are they done by using a dies or machine cut? Either way, they layer up really well. Those beaded hearts are really sweet too.
Love Paula

Oh I know it's not huge, but I like th wides of a wash stand for a desk...my word, we WOYWWers do use an assortment of surfaces! Love your beaded hearts, what a neat idea for a pressie embellies too - classy.
ReplyDeleteLove the hearts and flowers! I have been making tons of flowers this week for projects. Have a great week and congrats on the new craft desk. Vickie #32
ReplyDeleteLove your flowers, and yes your new desk does sound nice, but the wash stand has a sound of romance about it.

Love your flowers and hearts, I am about to venture off and make a pile of them ready for use. I am even going for the material type and see what I can do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.

I love those hearts and flowers. I was making little flowers to decorate gift tags for M's birthday pressies yesterday. The tattered flower die works well on fabric. x Jo
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are really pretty-I can't usually get mine to have that much dimension. Enjoy your new desk!

ReplyDeleteLovely hearts...and love those bottles in the background too! Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteThose are some very artful and lovely looking flowers! Nice beaded hearts too - perhaps an interesting juxtaposition with your driftwood/beachy style? (Not to pigeonhole your style, of course - I just mean the work I've seen on your blog recently!). Have a fab week. Thanks for popping by my Pen Pot - I'm late looking this week! Deb x
ReplyDeleteI have got to learn how to do your flowers - beautiful!!
