My 100th post - yay!
You remember those old building blocks I bought last week? Well today I started on my first bit of altering:
I think they look great just as they are, I've been painting some, sanding them and inking them. But if I leave them around on my craft table I may find further uses for them, do some more alterations.. maybe make them into magnets...?
As its the tail end of Easter I couldn't not have an Easter related post so I 'spotted these and thought of
you' (as the ad says!):
Aren't they a hoot? They were found in an old (1970's) craft book:

..along with this felt appliqued bedspread and matching 'headboard' picture. It has step-by-step instructions in it too! :-)

See you tomorrow,

love how you've altered the blocks and distressed them, very inspirational :) xx
Your blocks look ace - one would look nice just sitting on a fireplace, with the word 'home' on it - or in a kitchen on a shelf. They look v vintage. Must keep an eye out for some! xox PS Congrats on your 100th post!
