Preparations coming up to Christmas and having family here over Christmas doesn't leave a lot of time to declutter or tackle any jobs I might have on my list but even getting a little thing done is helpful.
As I was sorting out some of the many things that had accumulated around my desk (which I have been gradually working on for ages) I came across two hearts.
They were from our niece Joanne's Wedding over 2 years ago and had been our place names at the wedding reception.
I like black and white and was sure that I could find some way of using them on a project so had kept them, but up to now I had not thought of how to use them.
Then now after two years I see them and suddenly have an idea.
If you have read previous blog posts of mine about my study and about things I love then you will know that I really do love hearts and have quite a few hearts around the study and the house.
In fact on the bathroom door and the back toilet door I have hearts to show what the room is
I had got these on ebay and loved them so I also later contacted the lady selling them to see if she had ones with study and office on them but she didn't.
Well I know that these hearts are not the same but I just thought I would use them anyway and all I needed was some blu tac and a pair of scissors.
I snipped off the long parts of the black ribbon just leaving the little bows on each heart, then stuck them to the doors with some blu tac.
I didn't add the words study or office because I would not be able to match the special calligraphy already on them but the names would do just fine as the study is mine and the office is Fred's.
How simple a recycle was that?
Can you find something that could be as simple a project as this?
Well now to look at the final results of work for this.
Very easy and took little time and of course I like the end result so more like FUNWORK than HOUSEWORK
