A busy day today though as it has been sunny I have been more motivated to do things.
Firstly the washing done and hung on the line. Secondly a trip to the cinema to get tickets for the weekend and food shopping in Morrisons for a change.
When we were on holiday last week we went to Watchet and we saw this crochet heart picture in the window of a shop for £15, I said "I could do that!" and Mark took a photo to remind me. I said all I needed was a deep frame and I know for a fact we haven't got one of those hanging around anywhere so I would have had to wait until the next trip to Ikea (probably before Christmas) or improvise. If I waited for the next trip to Ikea I would have forgotton so today I thought I would improvise and just go with what we had in the house!

Mark found an old frame out of the loft (we have every kind of frame except the one I needed - doh!) We took it in the garden and sprayed it white using the car spray paint I brought from Poundland in February.

Positioning the hearts and fixing with double sided sticky tape..................
FINISHED!
Now on the look out now for a white deep frame until the next time we can go to Ikea to buy this one which looks like the one they used in the shop. Am thinking of doing another for the conservatory or Anais' bedroom in shades of white to dark pink.................

While in the loft Mark also found out a new cellophane wrapped pack of four wooden frames (it really is like an Alladins cave up there!) so using the offcuts from Anais bedroom wallpaper I made another four pictures.................
Anais stayed after school today to practise with the school orchestra again.
Roman had swimming lesson this evening.
