a little sewing & a plea for help
Posted on 5:19 PM by follow me
After seeing this picture in the December Country Living magazine I knew I wanted to create a similar design with my own twist.
I took some dropcloth material I had leftover from making some curtains for my bedroom.
I love the nubby yet soft texture of this material. I used some Making Memories letter stamps from my scrapbooking stash to stamp the letters.
I stamped Peace on one side,
and joyeux noel on the other.
Then I washed in hot and dried in the dryer to allow the black paint to fade a little and give it more of that worn look.
I also made one that says Feliz Natal on one side for my hubby who lived in Brazil for a couple of years.
Help! Ever since I saw all the pictures from the Ruffles & Rust Ball a few months ago I've had this wish banner in my head, and on my mental 'to buy' list. However, I haven't been able to find it anywhere.
When I found this cute wish sign I was temporarily satisfied but if anyone knows where I can find the large one I would love to know!
