Second on the second-now and then

Hello Everyone who calls in and thank you for your visit to Jumbled Crafts. I am joining Bluebeard and Elizabeth today to share a link to an old post and to update you on the project.



My original post is here in July 2013. I used one of the photographs on that post to make my new header and tile for Jumbled Crafts. Sorry to say that the plastic flowers suffered from weather damage and then dropped off their perch and fell among the plants. So time for an update I thought. For some reason or another we stopped drinking much milk so a big plastic container was out of the question. I used the smallest one you can buy at the supermarket and there was only one of those in our recycling. The key holder is still there and looks a lot more interesting with all the rust it has now.

In 2013




Before new flowers

Now


My colour choices have changed and my choice of ways to add colour has too--my fingers are all blue now.

Hope you enjoy the old post

Don't forget to join us on the beach at Tag Tuesday and a couple more days with Letters /numbers at Try it on Tuesday

Have a great day

Love Chrissie xx

    Even before you mentioned how your color choices had changed, I thought how much better the new flowers looked. Maybe MY color choices have changed, too. I certainly like the new over the old, and of course, that includes the rusty keys and key holder. Since I didn't know you back then, this was a fun update. I even enjoy the new header.

    Thanks for sharing this second look on the 2nd.

    A beautiful garden decoration, the flowers are lovely and a great way to use old milk bottles,

    Your garden art is so fun. You've given me some ideas for my Zensical garden.

    I never fought of using milk bottles before! Now you mention it...
    I think I love both versions of the flowers but the keys are so much nicer for being rusted!

Hi All and a happy new week. Thank you for popping in at Jumbled Crafts. Happy T Day to my friends from Elizabeth and Bluebeard's Tuesday get together. Happy 4th Anniversay to their T a Day posts. This week we haven't been far at all as we both like watching Wimbledon so have stayed home and just had a short walk somewhere in the morning. Short walk meaning 10,000 steps if possible  This is my meal in a bowl and a drink. It is quick to make and means I can nibble at it with a fork and watch television with a nice cup of tea. It is a tuna salad with grapes. I was going to be really clever this week and make a tea cup and saucer with beautiful additions. This came about because I decided to clear out lots of old folders on my computer and this project was in one of them I made the cup ok, then thought WHY? It may or not get finished. The picture in the cup is how it should look. This week at Every Inchie Monday we have Buffalo as the theme I used an outline found on Google, made...

Hello Everyone. Hope you are all safe and well.The weather isn't very good for a lot of people and ours has turned cold quite quickly but it is sunny and bright as well. Thank you for dropping by today. It's Monday again so time for Every Inchie Monday where the theme this week is direction I chose Compass points but I sure others will have some great ideas.

Challenge 3 at Out of a Hat

Image
This week at Out of a Hat the challenge is to use some of your craft stash and I have had this scrapbook for years just waiting to be used. Also had the doillies for a very long time as well so I have combined the two for this challenge There was only the one that was heart shaped but it did inspire the theme for the page The photograph on the left is my Grandma and Grandfather-no one seems certain if it is their wedding photograph or taken after or before that. The other photograph is of my dad when he was about a year old. I never saw either of these pictures until recently when my aunt was sorting through boxes of papers and found them. Both were obviouly well love pictures and the one of my grandparents even has elastoplast in the top corners where it must have been hung up at some time. These are only copies that I have made. Nice to have a page safely in the scrapbook and I hope to do more soon.
