Learning Something New


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,
