Finished canvases and oops!

I fell over yesterday! Yep....smack straight into a wall headfirst!! I was stepping over one of my wicker baskets and my foot got caught, well, that was it.....i couldnt save myself and ended up taking a chunk out of my finger, pulling something in my leg and scratching and bruising myself. I can laugh now but at the time i told dh to leave me where i was (lying on the kitchen floor) because i knew if he made a fuss i would have cried it hurt so much!

I sat this morning and with a little help from the boys (they love punching out shapes) i made 2 canvases for the living room :) One has 121 butterflies and the other has 49 hearts! A LOT of sticking and measuring! lol

I dont know whats wrong with the colour setting as the walls area lovely pale mint green and the hearts/butterflies are all pastel colours - the darkest colour is chocolate brown!! LOL

  13. I know I'd screw up with the measuring.

    I know how you need to take time to get up after a fall. I hope you're not too sore.

  16. I was about to post exactly the same thing as Joanne, above me! I have been thinking about doing something like this since seeing the one on Ali Edwards' blog - and so now I'm super inspired! I'd love to know any measuring tips you have, as that's the bit that I think will be the hardest!
