Black heart

As I said last week, I wanted to do a different theme for the other side of my heart so that's what i have done this week. Before That, here is the update on the stitch.

As you can see it's almost finished! Just the back stitch to do now and it's done. I sort of wish I had managed to finish it today cos I got it as a leaving present from William hill, and my old shop is shutting for the last time today.
With the second side of the heart I wanted to use some blitz ephemera. I started by doing pva crackle technique with gold paint, then added strips of black lace. I coloured some curls with poutine gold squirt, and resin pieces with either wax or paint. I decided to add a clock to represent time, roses for Britain, and stars and moon to represent the night.

So that's the heart completed, and it's almost the end of the month so almost time for a new challenge. This month of thinking positive has gone well for the most part. I had training at work recently, and in years gone by I would have taken it to heart as I wasn't good enough and spent hours obsessing instead of taking the opportunity to better myself. This time I listened to where I can improve and have already started implementing it. Onward and upward. Next month's challenge is a mini spending ban. Not a total ban as that never works, but definitely trying to save as much money as I can. I used to be good at saving money but I don't seem to be any more. 

Until next time
