Challenge...Look at Me Now!

Following my recent post about the heart board which I had made for a colleague, I asked for some pics of it in situe now that they have had it for about two months. I'm loving how it looks, it's going to look fab once it's completely full...long way off yet though!

Heart Canvas

Heart within a Heart

Back in January I made lots of fabric hearts out of scraps of left over materials. I played around with the images below...

Finally I got around to doing something more permanent with them and after applying some glue to a pre painted canvas, here are the results.

Heart Canvas

Having originally being on display in my living room, after a small redecoration and a shuffle of furniture later these are now on proud display above my bed in the bedroom.
I've got to admit I'm made up! There is something about making something yourself that you can be proud of, that adds that extra wow...pazazz every time you look at it!

Challenge...complete!

I'm back!! I've been off the blogging scene for a while now but I've been stimulated to write and get back on the blogging scene.
 

Heart Badge Board - made by @GlitteredPink

Back in Feb I wrote about a challenge I had been set by a colleague to recreate a padded heart board for his daughters. Not one to turn this down I set about the task and check out the results!

Heart Badge Boards - made by @GlitteredPink

Materials:
- MDF wood cut into hearts by a specialist
- wadding
- fabric, lined with iron on vyleen
- staples
- badges to decorate

The finished size of each of these hearts is approx 1 metre by 1.5 metres.

With his daughters aged 3 and 8 the plan is for these hearts to be filled with badges and pins of places which they have visited, a visual diary. A cute idea of a way to remember all the fabulous things you have done as a child. The badges featured are in honor of the Jubilee and the exciting year which it has been for the UK.
I wish I had made one for me, next time!
