Yayyyyyy Good news and a project! -D

I am unsure as to you all know that my daughter was pregnant with twins.  She gave birth to them yesterday 3 weeks prem to the 37 week gestation period for twins.  They were born early evening yesterday and I am going to share a couple of pics with you.

Lili-Mae 5lb 5.5 oz


Harvey 4lb 8.5 oz


Are they not so so gorgeous.  I was in with my daughter while she had C-Section and watched everything.  I thought I would just share the clean pics.  I am still over whelmed with it all and my heart is just bursting.

Happy Christmas to me lol x

Right now onto my project which I can share with you all.  I made it for a friend, Paula, for Christmas and she now has it. I made a wall hanging for her craft room incorporating Christmas. I painted the background in a mixture of red and green acrylic paint.  I used steampunk christmas stamps which I think are by Sam Poole.  I used cogs and clocks from my stash and the colied wire are the stems from my flowers painted silver. The lock and key replace the star lol. The holly leaves and berries are also from my stash and I wired them together into a wreath. The poinsettas were lifeless and bright red to start with but I used red paint and manipulated them to breathe life into them.  The chain came from an old necklace to finish it off.  the back compliments the front without embellishments.
Hope you like it as much as my friend Paula does.


Happy Christmas everyone
