WOYWW #410 - Painting!

So my husband got sick of all my flower things in his cable tie tube so he made this for them.

I laughed and said I'd have to paint it!

Woke early and decided to do just that!


It started life a piece of cardboard tube hot glued to a wall tile.











Still doing daily embroidery too. Weekly update here. I even stretched and finished my colour wheel embroidery so now have my large hoop to work with, much better.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

    What a lovely hubby to make you a vase for your flowers, they will look fabulous when the paint is dry.
    You really have got stuck into the embroidery, that colour wheel is fantastic.

    Morning BJ. What a helpful hu8bby - good use of a cardboard tube! That colour wheel embroidery is stunning - well done. Love the second piece, too - coming on nicely.

    Well, it may just be a cardboard tube glued to a tile but it's perfect for the job of holding your beautiful flowers!! And I still adore that embroidery of yours, it's soooo gorgeous!

    Happy WOYWW. Clever use of cardboard tube and tile. Your embroidery is just fabulous. I used to do a lot of cross stitching and would like to have a good at 'proper' embroidery. I bought myself a magazine last year, which I am keeping until my credit card debt is paid off and I can treat myself to some threads. Ali x #22

    I like it - especially that you were able to leave it long enough for someone else to make it for you! Nice paint colour too! GLad youre still finding the embroidery a bit addictive!

    Hi BJ, that's a great recycling job and I like the colour you've painted it. Enjoying watching your embroidery grow. I'm still working on my 'sampler' and just bought more embroidery threads today - I've caught the bug too :) Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend. Elizabeth x #27

    love all the embroidery! Your husband is a keeper...mine would have just come and absconded with the tie holder and left me empty handed! Hope you have a great week and thanks for stopping by my desk earlier! Vickie #38
