We've been waiting for this issue of Country Living to hit the shelves (or for subscribers their doormats...) with slightly higher excitement levels than usual!We're in it - or rather, the things that we've made are in it and my (Nic's) hands are just visible...
Some of the 35 beautiful step-by-step projects from A Green Guide to Country Crafts are featured and amongst them is the gorgeous bunting made from old shirts, we LOVE this photo and have very fond memories of the day it was taken by the very lovely and rather brilliant photographer and cake expert (!) Gavin Kingcome.We couldn't resist decorating this barn wall with it over at Green Lodge Farm owned by our good friend Val Beeson.
How gorgeous do the fabrics look against the black boards??!!
It was fun to make this bunting as we got to include the shirt details like this button tab...
How could we celebrate Halfpenny Home's first appearance in Country Living and getting our 100th blog follower?Hmmm...
Jacqui had a fabulous idea!A blog giveaway - a bunting kit with all you would need to make some bunting just like the one featured in Country Crafts and Country Living!
We've prepared some flags from the very same shirts that we used on our 'Bunting made from old shirts' which along with the old, red seam binding will mean that you can recreate your very own 'Country Living' moment (gate not included)!You've got until Monday 15th August 2011 to enter and to be entered into the draw you need to be a follower and leave a comment and to get an extra go tweet Nic @halfpennyhome
We'll get Mike the Glassman to draw the winner out of a really lovely Czech glass bowl...
Good Luck!
