While we’re on the subject

I have been meaning to blog this since before Christmas. Remember this box I got at a garage sale? I was going to do it up for my brother’s 21st birthday…

Here it is all done up to the nines’. 

I painted it a slate grey and attached new handles.

The outlines of the letters were lightly printed on to old pages of Shakespeare plays, then I cut them out and modge-podged them on to the box. I did several layers over top of the letters to make sure they wont come off.

I managed to get it to him only 6 months late… a record for me!

Who knows what he will put in it, boy stuff no doubt.

Boofa's Birthday...

Yup my little brother turned 19 today... wow he's so old now... that makes me like 100! :)
I made him the bag at the top and also a guitar strap, the bag took a lot longer than it should have, several broken needles and a few little mistakes along the way made it longer!
We had raclette (if that's how it's spelt) for dinner, mmmm.... then dessert was chocolate fondue! Even more mmmm! Also Boofa's girlfriend made a pretty cake with chocolate icing and big music notes in chocolate! Triple mmmm.....
There's a pic of Aussie Bob munchin' on fondue, sadly not much made it into his mouth!
