2nd Wedding Anniversary


I cant believe its been 2 years already since mine and my hubby's lovely buddhist wedding in Thailand. Our anniversary was yesterday and we had a  lovely day at whipsnade zoo and had a scrummy picnic. I've decided that I would make my anniversary pressies to my husband every year. This year the traditional gift is cotton so I decided to make a canvas picture for him. I used Claudine Hellmuth sticky-back canvas to print one of our wedding photos on, I then sewed this onto some cotton fabric and frayed the edges, when finished I stuck my material and picture to the back of my box frame. To embellish I used stunning velvet hydrangeas by Petaloo that I have new in the shop. To finish the piece off I used some pearl pins, these are the actual pins that held my lotus flowers together on our wedding day. Im pleased to say that Jay loved his gift :) it was alot simplier that I was originally planned but time just passed me by. Im so sorry I havent been around much lately but I've been putting hundreds of new products on the shop website, luckily its all on there now and I can get back to the important stuff, like crafting hahahahaha
