Happy days.


 

Morning, I hope all is well for you and yours and your getting a fair share of the sunshine..

I made this yesterday for a friend, they are easily done and really don't take long, it takes more time waiting for the paint to dry.

This is how it started


Then lets get busy tarting it up !!!


The usual, circle wooden plate, for want of a better word, taped off and painted with blackboard paint, because it was what I had, then added the chippy words which I bought a whole lot of from the Works many moons ago, painted that black too and waited for it to dry, ( it didn't take long I am dramatic...)

Then added suede cord to hang and decided to put some of it across the the bit where the colours break, like this 


I think it looks more 'finished'.

Then added some wired ribbon, I love this combo, I bought them together so long ago and they never fail me, just love them.

Think thats all again. I am off to get my bedding out, to good to miss and then I have a bit of housework and then, I am off out to read for awhile. 

Have the best of days, take care.

This is gorgeous Janette, your friend will be delighted with this thoughtful gift- always lovely to be given some 'happy' :))
Enjoy the sunshine and your book- I'm trying to summon the energy to go to the library and then get the food shopping, not my favourite task (food shopping -not library of course!)

This turned out beautifully, Janette! The combination of the bold blackboard background with that lush bow and suede cord gives it such a warm, rustic charm. I love how the ribbon pulls it all together—it’s classic and cheerful, just like your sunny message. What a thoughtful gift for a friend and such a fun way to spread a little happy.
