I have been sneaking a few minutes every once in awhile since early February trying to get my husband's Valentine's gift done so I can give it to him . Between him being sick and home a fair bit then me having a cold or fighting those darn Spring migraine ( barometric pressure and crappy air quality induced ! ) it has been hard to accomplish much . Finally DH went away overnight on business so yesterday afternoon I just said to heck with it and started working on this to complete it . It was a case of putting things together , gluing and tweaking to get it just right ! I finally did the last of it late this afternoon only to find out the clock didn't work ...........FRUSTRATING to say the least ! So OFF came the clock parts , another tweak with the file ....... and putting the battery in the RIGHT way made a world of difference ! LOL ! FINISHED !!! I am so pleased with the end result and I hope he is thrilled with it as well ! Now I can finally tell him why drawers got slammed and he got snarled at every time he came to stand over my shoulder while I was trying to get this done in secret !!!!!
My finished project .....
( and yes , that is still snow in my backyard but it is slowly leaving !!! YEAH !!!! )
This is a Kaisercraft clock that I used some old Bohemian paper on it ( almost matches my living room scheme perfectly ! ) , a Prima butterfly spray and flowers , the wooden flourishes and wood butterflies are from Kaisercraft as well and coated with STICKLES . The clock numbers come from MICHAEL'S as I couldn't find any small wood numbers anywhere . Everything else is from my stash and is either rub-ons or stamped !
Well off to clean my crafty area as it looks like a bomb has gone off ! I still have a couple hours before DH gets home so he may get a real shock as the room will be cleaned up ... to a POINT !!! LOL !
Have a great weekend and I hope you get to see sunshine where you live and some craft time !!! TFL !
