The word today is RED

Inspired by IACW to make a XMAS RAG WREATH, I made one yesterday and it was SO QUICK. I cut a ring from quite strong cardboard, tore fabric into 1inch by about 4 inch lengths and just tied it on. Then I cut narrower strips of red felt and tied them on. Then green ribbon tied on and VOILA VIOLA it was done. This is the MOST rewarding fun thing I have made for a long time!! Thanks Trish at IACW for the inspiration!!! Right now I have it hangingin the room where my computer sits and it looks GREAT with all the red and orange curtains I have in this room.

Happy Monday everybody!!! Well it's happy for me LOL. I have family staying with me and we have a great day out planned for today.

And GREAT news!!! The lovely Angela and the lovely CHRIS have entered our SCRAP YOUR BOOBS competition. They have made gorgeous layouts and just so tasteful! You can see it their blogs or at IACW. Thanks Angela and Chris MWAH!!!

AND MORE NEWS!!! Chris has started her own mini challenge with GREAT blog candy prize. In addition she is donating 10 pound to IACW breast cancer awareness in the name of the winner. So Chris's winner wil stand a chance to win one of the IACW prizes.

Chris says:

"I am asking you to take part in my little challenge to be included in the draw to win lovely blog candy and I will be making a £10 donation to the Just Giving page for the winner also... who will then be eligible to win some of the goodies IACW are offering too :D"

Please visit CHRIS to see the GREAT challenge she has put together!!!

I was so bleak yesterday when the prompt was late, but decided to post as normal. So if you missed yesterday I had a big scare!!! See Sundays Post.

Almost forgot. You can see my crochet blanket if you visit IACW today. I think it looks great!!!

Thanks for visiting have a great week and love always from Di XXX

What a fun craft project. Your wreath looks fabulous. Read your scary story about the attempted break-in. That would have really freaked me out. You seem so calm about it.
