Hello John and Pin Cushion

Good Morning All

As this post goes live I shall be  on my way to the airport  to visit this young man.
As I wave goodbye to my John and will say Hello to John Next Door at lunch time I hope, if all on time.

It is so handy as John lives in the region  of the airport I have to fly to, to visit Ricky and Lorien.

He picks me up and we can spend some crafty time together.
I,m lucky enough to be going to Ally Pally too, so may see some of you there on Saturday and Sunday.

****
This is a Ferero Rocher Choccy box I have altered for a girl that goes to our slim club and has just bought herself a sewing machine, although she is not a sewer, she has been watching You Tube !!!

So I thought I would use this to make a pin cushion and box combined for her cotton reels and needles etc.







I had to put glitter on this flower as I got hot glue on it and couldn't pick it off!!!!

I love the black flower motifs, I can't remember where they came from.



This is the inside.

    Hi Wendy, have a lovely time with John Lockwood and of course your family. I'm not going to ally pally as I'm going to excel tomorrow. Not got enough money for both!! A very thoughtful gift, and a good way of up-cycling. Janice xx http://Createdbyjan.blogspot.com
