BEACH HUT

I'm so sorry it has been so long since I blogged but with a busy week at work and other things going on in the evenings I just have not had a moment. I have been away for a lovely weekend near Chester with my hubby for my birthday, what a good time we had too. Got back Sunday afternoon. I would love to thank you all for your birthday wishes, cards and presents, you are so kind. Today I have been on with a project that has been hanging around in my craft room (literally). A few months ago Tracey gave me a plain birdhouse and challenged me to alter it. Anyone who knows me, knows that I have never been into altering things. When I explained to Martyn and my son what I was doing they asked why would I want to alter it, the birds don't care what it looks like on the outside. Then I explained it wasn't for the birds it would stay in my craft room as an altered piece of work. They now think I am completely mad - but that's nothing new. So I have set to over the last few weeks painting and deciding what to do with it and this is the final result. Anne sent me a link to a great site called Cloth Ears and I loved all the stuff on there a bit out of the ordinary and this is where I got the idea for my Beach Hut. I'm sorry its not all flowery and crackled but I don't seem to be able to do sensible. Anne and I talked about my idea and someone said I think you need an extension on it so this is what I did!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you enjoyed looking as much as I enjoyed altering even if my family do think I'm crackers. Hey Ho I will bring it to class on Saturday to show you all. Promise to be back soon. Lynda xx
