My creative space...

You know, last night I made a promise to myself that I would do this blog post bright and early in the morning so I could link up and be in the first handful of people linking up to My Creative Space.  I failed.  It's 5pm and I'll be 100 and something down the list.  So if you actually read this let me know!!  Haha!!

Sunday night husby and I have been invited at the last minute to a Valentine's dinner with friends.  I volunteered to decorate the table!  I didn't realise I was volunteering to do it until I had already said it.  And then of course I realised what I had got myself into.  So today I have spent forever coming up with something!!

First I put the stones in a vase..


Then made the florist foam base for the flowers on top.. 


I just made a tonne of red fabric rosettes and pinned them on, and added a few pearls & leather rope for effect...


Bought the white tableclothe for the night, and whipped up that runner last night.  Now to make name cards & maybe little gift boxes for each person.

Go here for more Creative Spaces...

  1. It looks great! Fits the theme without being too mushy :-)
    btw, you were #127, and I'm #128!!! We had a breakfast at the school (so I had to be there at 6:30am to help set up) and then swimming lessons, and then doctors appointment, then the supermarket, then pickup the kids, then dinner, *then* 'my creative space'!!
    Same thing every week :-)

  2. Your centerpiece looks amazing, not too over the top. Would love to see pics of the final setting.
