Getting busy...

I've been wanting to do up some of my furniture for awhile and now that spring has sprung I've decided to get busy with it. The other day I had a package arrive and look what was inside...

Appliques, appliques and more appliques!

I brought these from a lovely lady in the U.S at Do It Yourself Chic and I have to say they are just wonderful!!! I wish I bought more now lol. Oh well, I can just see myself ordering some more in the next week or so. Below is one of the projects I am working on now...

I'm hoping to finish this piece soon so I will post some more photos then.
Have a wonderful week!
Ive had a number of emails asking where I bought the appliques above so I thought I would pop another link just incase anyone missed it.

  1. Hi Siobhan, first I want to say thank you so much for leaving a comment on my blog! Yes, that disease is terrible and I can only pray for those families for God to give them strength.
    On a lighter note I think your blog is so pretty and couldn't believe your last post as I too need to get some furniture appliques as I have many projects waiting.. the project you are working on now looks great! I will check out that website you purchased them from. You know I have one of your mosaic pieces that was round like plate with a rose in the centre, painted by Gail and your mosaic work on the rim. I have it sitting on my kitchen bench and is one of my favourite pieces. Ok, will go check out your website now and by the way will add you to my sidebar aswell, thank you!! take care, Maryann

  4. Hi Siobhan

    Aren't they fabulous, you can dress up anything at a very affordable price, once painted who would know they're reproductions

    Will look forward to seeing more finished projects you've used them on
