WIP Wednesday

It has been a while since I've done a Work In Progress Wednesday - it is Wednesday today isn't it?  I've been so confused with all the holidays going on recently.

This is a new project I started on monday from the mystery 220 group on Ravelry.  It is a celebratory project in honour of their being 1000 members of the group so uses 1000 yards rather than the usual 220.  I do actually know what the project is having done it before but I loved it so am relishing doing it again.

To see more WIPs this Wednesday head on over to Tamis Amis

Punky Scraps Challenge 15

This week we had a set recipe of items:

NO cardstock
paint
stamping
stitching
twine

Nat had sent me a lovely box of goodies and this shaped piece of patterned paper really took my eye especially as it is covered in french script.  That was my no cardstock.

 I never do know how to photograph a shaped layout.

I stamped my title with paint which covered two more criteria

and stitched on the photograph plus I made a flower with twine.

The Humber Bridge last Sunday on our way back from taking the eldest back to university.

Didn't She Look Beautiful?

Our future queen was faultless in her elegance.

The dress was absolutely amazing but I'm not sure about one thing tough (well two if you get what I mean). I don't if it was the lace or the fit or whether she just chose the wrong bra but she looked rather on the erm chilly side whilst walking down the aisle with her father if you catch my drift.  OK now I've said it so I will get ready for the guards to escort me to the tower where I shall stay forever more.

They are sure to have beautiful children who are our future history in the making.

Craft Garden May Challenge

This month the challenge is to take inspiration from this picture

Despite setting the challenge myself I ended up with a serious mojo loss when it came to actually doing the challenge.  I had intended to set myself doing something with knitting or crochet but when my son came back from Paris with a similar angled shot of the Eiffel Tower then I knew I just had to use that photograph.
