I want to share with you something new I tried this weekend. I have always loved these engraved spoons. Normally they are made into markers for herbs, but I thought it would be fun to do phrases. So when I was visiting Anne Sutton (of Bunny Hill Designs) blog, Bunny Tales, she had the directions on how to make these and I dove right in.
I have got a long way to go to perfect this skill. Swinging a sledge hammer isn't as easy as it appears, and obviously that causes the letters not to be straight on these first few tries. I love the simple, rustic look about them, though.
My mind is running with ideas, but I need to practice a bit more. I hope that you had a wonderful weekend and that Monday proves delightful.
Joyfully,
Hi Renee, I love the spoons....I'm off to check out the site. Who says they have to be perfect? I think it adds to their charm. Happy Crafting, Jenny
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to this post idea. Ha ha I guess that's o.k. though, because you are the one who had to swing the sledge hammer. Anyway, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your spring songs too, by the way. :)
Hi Renee,
ReplyDeleteYour spoons are adorable. And I especially love what they say. :o) You are doing a great job.
Sincerely ~ Tricia Anne
Oh Renee!
ReplyDeleteI love your garden markers! You are so right...I can think of all sorts of sayings and verses to put on them. Thanks for the tutorial link.:)
I'm headed over to see how to do it right now!~ I love your un-perfect lettering-it's beautiful!

I adore these...I must check out how to make them. So so sweet and I love your messages on them...off to find out how. Thank you for sharing. xoxox
ReplyDeleteLove your spoon plant markers and the sayings are great the way they are. I can't imagine you slinging a sledge hammer either. Thanks for the link. I have been wanting to do a container herb garden. Those would be perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, wanted to thank you for your Sunday Scripture. It always seems to be what I need.
Are you tired of me telling you how much I love this blog?! This is a great idea. I do have Bunny Hill bookmarked, but I rarely read her blog; thanks for sharing this. I need to make some of these!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Thanks for the visit. I live in the GrandHaven-Spring Lake Area.
ReplyDeleteI blogged about my friend nancy who does a lot of sewing and quilting. She was a homemake teacher for years until the schools dropped that subject.
Have a nice day.
