I didn't stitch much yesterday, instead I helped my dh put together a shadow box for his badges and a medal he got while he was working with Cobb County Police Department in Georgia. I think it turned out really nice. I laced some black velvet onto the padded backing that came with the shadow box for him.
The picture is not the greatest, but I think you get the idea. It was really hard to photograph!
Well, I'm going to be taking a little blogging break. I have to have some dental work done on Monday and then I plan to do some spring cleaning before we head down to Florida for spring break. There is a lot of clutter that I need to clear out! It's crazy how fast it accumulates! Write when I can!!! :)
Nicole, what a neat idea to show case your husband's badges! It turned out very nicely. Good luck with the clear out--I swear that our excess stuff multiplies on its own. :P
ReplyDeleteI agree with Siobhan...great idea for his badges. Hope your dental work goes well.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea to put your DH's badges in the shadow box... it looks lovely. Hope the dental work goes well.
ReplyDeleteI'm still in the process of doing a spring clear-out and I hope your attempt goes faster than mine.
Enjoy Spring Break in Florida.
You must be so proud of your husband! I love the shadow box - looks great! Good luck with the dental work and the spring clean!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Nicole! I bet your DH was thrilled!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the dental work, and have a fun spring break trip!
I had no idea your DH was with the Police; the display looks beautiful! Good luck with your clean-out (Stuff does just breed, really, and have a great trip!)
ReplyDeleteTotally looking forward to seeing more of your stitching when you get back! :)
Oh, P.S. best wishes for your dental endeavors!
The shadow box with your DH's badges in it is a great idea. It looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI hope your dental work goes well and you recover quickly so you can have a great time in Florida.
That is so neat...congratulations to your husband for all of those badges..wow...I have a good friend who is a Security Police Officer but prior to that he was the Chief Of Police for a long time and he has so many certificates and badges that it isn't even funny. He is even a State Certified Rescue Scuba Diver too.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you both.
Take care & Happy Stitching

Best of luck on your teeth--we'll miss you! And I love the idea of the shadow box--it turned out so well with the badges on that black velvet!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job on the Shadowbox, Nicolle. Hope all goes well with your dental work and the clean-up. Enjoy the trip to FLA!!! Godspeed!
ReplyDeleteI am from Cobb County and my father is a former ATF agent. They probably know each other, my dad has a lot of cop friends there. I just happened upon your blog one day, and check it frequently to see your stitching projects. Funny! Small world. The shadow box looks great!

What a great job and any person should be proud to put all that on display!
