Hello! hope you have had a nice Saturday,
we have had a relaxing day today(it's been lovely)
and i had chance to finish a project i started yesterday.
When we visited the States i just fell
in love with all the gorgeous home accessories
and the Primitive signs they have.
A few weeks ago i ordered some stencils from the US
and they came Friday morning.
You know that feeling-
when you just can't wait....
A trip to the wood yard, 1/2" ply wood was on my list
and 3 pieces for just £3.90.
For the base coat i used Forest Green
&
then Sandstone
This was the scary bit-the black for the words.
The pumpkin & leaves were great fun to do.
A bit of Pinecone(VersaColor to shade-pumpkin).
a bit of sanding, a coat of wood stain
&
all finished.
Just thought you might like a peek!!
thanks so much,take care.
hugs all,see you soon.
Lou.xx

This is such a wonderful idea and beautifully executed as well. I just love this sort of craftiness, never thought to put it on my blog, great idea, inspirational even, makes me feel quite nostalgic. hugs x
