June Finish

I’m just a little late posting this one!! 

A couple years ago, a friend’s partner reached out and asked if I could fix an antique set of boxing gloves. They belonged to his great grandfather!! Each time I thought I had things figured out to keep them together, the leather would rip or the old threads would giveaway. Needless to say, it took me two years to finish them. I didn’t want to do a half-ass job and google didn’t help. 

As you can see, my stitches don’t look pretty. It was the only way I could get them to stay together! 

They are being hung in a sports themed entertaining space in their home  They tell me people have commented on how old they are and that’s it’s awesome to see history hung up. They are a talking point and have had some stories told about them after a few too many drinks!! 

ME

Advent box

 I ordered myself an Advent box from the company where I get my paint by numbers.

This is how the box came, very nice looking.

DAY 1

 

This is the finished project

DAY 2 - apron

DAY 3

Two 2 x 2 canvases 

DAY 4 - a sponge

DAY 5 - this one confused me, I had to use Google to help me figure out what it was.

Finger Guard Tape

DAY 6 - a set of brushes and two liquid paint pens

 

DAY 7 - paint brush rest

DAY 8 -  is magnets and some kind of stickers, this one confused me.

DAY 9 - A roll of heart stickers, not sure what they have to do with painting.

DAY 10 - a brush cleaner dish

DAY 11 - paint by number bottles of rose. I will have to see how these turn out and then find people to give them to. 

DAY 12 - Two 4 foot long paint by number banners.

These will be a challenge to paint because they are the length of my table.

This was neat to open up, but it would have been nice to have an explanation inside some of the boxes. 😆

Christmas ornaments

 Happy Holidays ladies,

Here’s this year’s Christmas Eve ornaments. They are flannel and denim, from my slowly shrinking pile of jeans from my dad. I was thinking they could also be memory ornaments if I get asked to make some again.  What’s happening with your lovely break?  Her

Palliative care quilts

 Hi there ladies,

I just wanted to share a couple quilts that are destined for palliative care.

The Crafter’s amazing basting ability was called in to help.
 

   

I also made a rag quilt in some neutral-ish colours. I would like to have four made before I drop them off.

I guess I better get going.  What are you ladies up to?  Her
