DIY Lightbox

About 3 months ago I spotted this on Pinterest...


Just what I need!!

You know what's it's like.... you pin it, go back, re read, wait until you remember to bring a box home from work, the box sit in the porch where you left it until finally you get around to it!!!!

The instructions are very clear & it looked so easy however in reality your knife isn't as sharp as you thought, you can't find the right tape & you have it balanced while watching Bargain Hunt!



It didn't take long to make


But has it worked?


Before


After

I think it worked a treat & it only cost me 69p for the tissue paper!

 It said to put it in as much light as possible...... well there's not much light around today!
I tried to take it in the garden but it's very flimsy & the wind is strong today..... not a good mix!!

I will be playing around in the future to see if I can make the photo's even better.

I'm working on a new brooch design for Crikey so this should be perfect for promoting them on Facebook.

February


That's February over with!!

It's starting to feel like spring isn't it?? 
February was a busy month with 2 Make, Do and Mend meetings..... Yarn bombing......Cupcake making..... Being asked to help organise the Exeter Blitz remembrance day in May (so excited!!) being hooked on Pinterest and lots, lots more!

Only 4 more days until my first break in 5 months....... I need it!!!

But first me & my lovely friend Helen are off to Torquay on Friday for 
Sing-a-long-a Grease!!!
We booked in December thinking it was a long time away..... now it's tomorrow!!!

I have my outfit all sorted, the worrying thing is..... it's all my own clothes, no need for fancy dress for me! The only thing I brought was a very cheap Pink Lady jacket & some lovely red glasses.
I'll let you know how it goes!
