My husband got promoted few months back and with that came a nice big cabin and I was more than happy bcos I knew I could do something for him there!
It is a beautiful cabin overlooking the busy main road in Koramangala, and one side of the cabin has a nice glass wall to capture this view. It lacked the greenery and some cheer and so I decided to make a layout for his cabin, and with great enthu asked him "What is it that you would like to see in your cabin everyday?" And pat came the answer.."Some colors, flowers and my daugher!" Ok,Ok...I know me and my son got left out in this deal, but who is complaining,my creative brain was already at work!
And so began this LO, "Good Times"...I din't want it to be a mere decor element and so decided to have a clock element which will make him see the LO atleast once a day!
My husband belongs to the garment industry, and I found the perfect PP from the stack8 of We R Memory Makers..This was a big LO, 16 X16 and so I attaced co ordinating PP in checks,stripes and dots and stuck to a neutral color theme which will compliment a 4yr old and a 45 yr old!
I wanted textures too as it was for "his" cabin and so the 2 photo slots had different texture work and all the blooms are with corrugated cardboard!
So for the "sewing man", i hand sewed the different PP together with embroidery thread and used a lot of foam bottons for embelishments. There is also e nice white lace tucked under the PP on one side!
The Tim Holtz weathered clock was a perfect match to this LO denoting good times, and I heat embossed it in gold with a sentiment in the center. I am hooked to heat embossing these days and so i did a few butterflies too and also the heading for the LO has a lovely pattern embossed on it.
Now let the pictures do the talking..I hope to frame it soon and hand over to him next week. Hoping for good times in his work life and to all of you. Do leave your comments about this LO....
The lovely PP with the dress form in ine corner duely embelished and you can see the how tha PP's have been hand sewed!
The measuring tape and the lace tucked beneath on thePP and some foam buttons and florishes take care of this corner!
Thanks a lot for stopping by...

Oh, wow! I just love all the wonderful detail on this layout! I guess the fact that it is a "labor of love" adds to its charm, but I think just the amount of thought you put into capturing the things he wants to see everyday is just amazing! Fabulous idea, beautifully though out and crafted! It was a delight, Rupa, to find this propped against our front door here at 613 Avenue Create! Oh, yeah, congratulations on your husband's promotion!
