I was only intending to watch the frock and then do some housework and crafting, but I didn't. Sat glued until the end of the ceremony. It was sweet, happy and uplifting and ceremoniusly english. Where else? Got to admit, it was something to be proud of in a land that's got some worrying social probs. But it wasn't the day for that.
I did get some crafting done though, fancied a challenge with a difference, so opted for a recycling (For Fun Challenge)and a something not normally used for crafting (Paper Play challenge) and Daring Cardmakers Royal theme. This was in the well of my car, which is in desperate need of a clean out (plan for Monday). It's air freshener wrapping,
And I turned it into this, although I must admit I am not a fan of rodents, even those sporting the Union flag.
So, recycled air freshener wrapper, not normally used for crafting, plus accessorize stickers, paper pieced mouse from the Tatty Button range. He's called Pip. Some tricolour ribbon, red white and blue, not french and a bubble sticker. I am sure I'll get out of this Britannia phase soon, probably when I play Polkadoodles on Sunday
Barbecue day tomorrow, I've got a Key Lime Pie and trifle to make.
Catcha later.
This is so cool. Thanks so mcuh for playing along on fOr Fun
