Here's
is a little something I created for my niece for Christmas, all in the theme of their recent wedding. I'd show another one, (but that niece hasn't seen it yet!)As we head in express train like fashion towards the New Year, I confess I should be ashamed to post pictures of my craft room, it's in such a mess! So.... For 2015 my intentions (resolutions always go by the wayside, don't they!, & I like to be different - well, I don't like being predictable at any rate.....), anyway back to intentions..... I am going to have a clear up. Was so busy making & getting ready for Christmas & have grandkids coming to stay after the New Year, before they go back to school - but after that....... The black bags had better be ready!
Still on the subject of 'Good Intentions', I saw an article yesterday about creating a jar.... where everytime you do something to be proud of, you write about it (not like War & Peace, just a line...) & put it in the jar.... Gives you something fabulous to read on the eve of New Year 2015! Could make fabulous scrapbook pages!!, and besides....making & decorating this project, well..... It's an excuse to procrastinate..... Or avoid the clearing up!, but when I get to it, the clear up that is, & it could be painful! Anyone got a need for lots - & I mean lots, of small storage pots?! TTFN. Happy NewYear!
These are fairly simple to make, look great for Christmas, Easter too! Obviously in different colours!! Being a Monro - yes, their is a clan - but the rebels spell their name differently!! We have a 'family tartan', so just for good measure, I've made some in our family tartans too. The paper Roses are made with the Joy Craft rolled up Roses die with Dutch Doobadoo texture paste & glitter on top! 
The quilting is done with 2" squares of fabric, lots of very fine (lace) pins (26 x 0.55 - I have found these to be best, as they go through the multiple layers of fabric. Styrofoam balls or eggs form the centres.
