Wreaths for all occasions

Hi guys a quick post from me today Still don't have a craft room
So I was looking on you tube for some flowers and doilies all done 
 by crocheting and found the first wreath with the flowers,
and I only used small paper plates as that was all I could get my hands
on.
So after it taking ages to use the wool I thought I would 
try other bits I had I have used flowers for one and thought it 
would make a great table centre piece,
Next week I will add the tutorial on how I made 
them as the last one I made is a very special one.  
So Thank you all for your wonderful comments as they mean 
so much and inspirer me to keep playing outside the box.
Love & Hugs
Nicky

Joint DT

Evening guys hope the days been good.
Angela thought it would be good to mix things up 
and paired us up my partner is Deb Ochs-LaGrone
She dose some amazing stuff pop over and have a look.
We chose Shabby Chic, and we both had to use the image
and a tag of 6 inch by 4 inch.
I had trouble with this one I wanted to do green and I got a blank
LOL
So I changed that and tried something else,
I used bits from my stash and one of Angela's 
Fabulous Bling and the lace on the side and where the tag hole is 
are left over from the Beautiful tag kit She sent me. 
I do love it.
A big thank you for all your wonderful 
comments.
Big Hugs & Love

Paint brush challenge

 Good morning everyone hope you have all had a great weekend,
and are USA friends hope your enjoying the long weekend.
For September My challenge is to get a paint brush used or new as
long as its 2 to 3 inch's.
 If you follow this link it will take you to the challenge on the
NING site.
 I had to cut the brush part as it was to long.
I cut a strip of paper to cover some of the metal,
Then I cut some lace to wrap round the hole brush.


 Then i hot glued one of the flowers I made and the bird
cage.Then I glued the feathers and the Bling. 





 I then added the flowers where i wanted them,Then I put the tag from 
Lady's diary from Graphic 45.
 I left the bird till last so I could stand the brush up
to place it.I got the bird from Fiona Jennings in the first kit I got.
