Deb's Craft Room wall hanging

Morning all,

It's a beautiful day, not sure for how long but I'll enjoy it while it lasts. I have wanted to make a a wall hanging for ages so  I had a light bulb moment this morning and here it is:

Now I've made a plaque it has to be my craft room and a part time dining room when it's not messy-Ha ha!!!! It's never messy, I just like to spread everything out .......

I used an Mdf heart, painted it with acrylic paint and coloured with lilac pan pastels.Paper and words are from Polkadoodle's Picknix1 cdrom cut out into a heart shape. I also used raffia for the hanging part, bakers twine, buttons and letters from my stash.

Had an hour or so out with my daughter yesterday, she wanted some company.So she drove me and pushed me around in my chair - she's so good.  We had a bit of a shop at Outfit then she took me into hobbycraft for some card blanks.  I was very good  and didn't get anything else. They've moved everything around in the Hull one so that was abit annoying but it is easier all being downstairs.Been a busy day with the shopping being delivered early, washing, cooking a roast and stripping the beds - supposed to be a steady day - needless to say a rest is in order tomorrow.
