My name is Anna, and I work as a primary school teacher in greater London. I love eating pizza and watching TV with my husband. I also love painting glass, and any other crafty pursuits that give me a chance to make a mess! I am on a bit of a mission to learn how to cook, bake, sew and generally make things before I have children. I'm trying to learn something new each day. I really value your support, so thank you for following me xx

Handmade Monday

Hello everyone, hope you've all had a great week.

I've got a few random bits for show and tell this week:

When I went on a farm residential last year, the cockerels woke us up at silly o'clock each day. It was my friends 40th yesterday, so I made her this glass as a memento of those 'happy' memories:





I've been meaning to do something with all of our wedding cards, and today I finally got around to it. I cut out the messages to stick into the guest book, and made this picture with bits of each front cover:





Finally, now that I am a bit addicted to these white box frames, I decided to use them to make thank you presents for my LSA's  - seeing as it's the last week of term next week. Woo Hoo!


Thanks for reading. Don't forget to check out Handmade Monday.

    What a wonderful collage of wedding cards - just love that - super stylish! I must do mine but they'll be nearly vintage (almost 30 years old)! Lucky LSAs - what a lovely present. Well done - enjoy the holidays!
