A BIT OF SHABBY CHIC..


Hello everyone...

Just to let you know that my Sweet n Sour chicken was superb, I ate too much but it was so worth it..no guilt here when it comes to food, but online shopping got out of control and no one is even posting yet so I just have to learn to wait..posting in NZ is on but I usuall yshop overseas, they have more stuff that I NEED!..

Onto to todays project..a little bit of shabby chic..


Well, I could have counted the layers, but I didn't, but trust me there are quite a few.


This is how thick it was..lace,papers, ribbons,doily, butterfly, leaf flourishes, pearls, flowers and whole lot of fun..


The inside, a few more layers, lots of pearls and sent to a lady who was poorly through all this covid-19, but not because of it, and she lived alone, so we as neighbours did what we could to help her through and she is doing nicely now..


I have not used this beautiful marianne border die for a long time and was so happy to remember it and threaded that ribbon through with a darning needle and kept my composure while doing so...it was pretty tricky..

So there we go, thank you so much for stopping by I hope all is well, go online shopping, go on, then I wont feel so bad..

See you is a couple..

Luv CHRISSYxx

There you go again, talking about the scrummy food you make and what you made today, which I won't mention as it sounded yummy....
LOVE your card and I know how you love to layer your beautiful work...this looks a really gorgeous stunning piece. Beautiful colours too.
A friend sent me something from the US as a surprise 5 weeks ago and it is not arrived either, even my ordered goods from Queensland are floating in the air....hope you get them soon...xx

Wow Chrissy! Your shabby chic shaped card with all of the luscious layers here is amazing my friend! You've created such a beautiful design! I know what you mean about the shopping...it can become TOO much of a habit when you see new things that you "need"!! LOL!! Hubby doesn't always agree with me! LOL!!

Gorgeous dimension with all those frilly layers - what a fabulous card. I love that elegant parasol on the inside too. Sweet and Sour Chicken, eh? You've made me hungry now what with that and the roast pork.
