No new posts

Hey all,
I probably won't be posting for the next few weeks. I am working on stuff but nothing I can put online (surprises/presents etc) and then I will be working on a big cross stitch which will take ages but will be gorgeous! 
Stay classy interwebs

Festmåltid

Here is some of the crockery I have recently decorated, I have chosen a few of my favourites and left out more personal ones. I used special paint which had to be baked, some of the designs I used stencils for and others I had to free hand.
Enjoy.

Ohvälkomna

Bonus post!
This is the cheapest welcome mat I could find, it was in Ikea for less than £1 and I saw this and thought I could do that (but a bit geekier of course).
Voila!
I didn't use spray paint for mine as we only had silver and I do not spend money on this kinda stuff! So I used blackboard paint (only non water soluble paint I had in the house) and gave the letters a coat of PVA after (I <3 PVA). 
Here are some more pictures, just cos I am a generous and sharing kind of person.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, if it gets wrecked I am sure I can get another ultra cheap mat and do it again.

Fönsterpow!

Apologies for the long gap between posts!
This is something I have been working on for quite a while. The was originally based on an image I found on shutter stock but I had to change the design quite a bit to fit the piece of glass. 
I then saw this on Crafster and thought "oh em gee, I could totally do that" so I did it. Basically I used some black glass paint for the outline, then I used Promarkers to colour in the coloury bits and used PVA to attach beads on.
The finished result.

It took a really long time and I nearly had a nervous breakdown bringing it home from Mum's on the train
