You may have noticed how much I adore vintage linens. I buy them whenever I see them in op shops, and have more than a little love for floral vintage. I'm always on the lookout for sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths and even dish towels (tea towels). These are some of mine. Then I just wait until inspiration strikes, which can take hours, days, weeks or years.
I really needed a change on one of my lounge room walls so last night I decided to make some vintage linen wall art.
Here's my starting point. Blank canvas and spray glue.
I sprayed the canvas with glue, stretched and stuck my fabric on,then cut come 'library corners' and hot glue gunned the fabric are the edges at the back. I love using my hot glue gun. There's just something very awesome about a hot glue gun. It that weird? :)
Here's my finished canvasses. I love them. Flowers and colour and smiles make my world beautiful.
I also stuck all these stickers on my wall yesterday. That took AGES! The kids were good at posing for me in their Elvis costumes today though.
My big and my little man. Love, love, love.
Then we watched Mary Poppins and ate movie snacks. I served them up in egg cartons, just for something different.
I love the school holidays. For me it's about a slower pace, staying in pjs until lunch time, and spending time with family. I know some Mum's dread them though. How about you? Do you love them too? Do you love vintage linens? Perhaps you love Mary Poppins? There is so much to love in this awesome world of ours. I'm still in my pjs at 2:30 in the afternoon and I love that too.
