The Good W(L)ife

So today was what Sundays are all about!
I slept late and only awoke because I heard my husband 'trying to be quiet'. It seemed that he had already been in town and bought a newspaper and some fresh muffins and had taken a gander at the weekly car show. He then came home and showered then shaved off his winter beard (yay - first sign of spring!).
Time for this spoiled wife to get up - I could smell the Folgers!
In the afternoon, hubby wanted to relax and watch the game on TV - not sure if it was hockey or football, so like a good wife I let him be.
Aha! But there was a method to my madness. What it really meant was SCRAPBOOKING TIME!

So,I pulled out a photo of our beautiful daughter on her wedding day and scrapbook papers and embellies as he relaxed and watched the game thru his eyelids. I had gotten the January kit from Art Freckles with beautiful vintage paper from Pink Paislee that I was dying to use. I carefully cut and inked the edges of the flowers on one of the PP before adhering it to CS. I then slipped my photo in and under the slits. I tore pieces of PP from the same line and adhered it to a chipboard butterfly. I trimmed, sanded and inked it then added pearls. The swirling of the butterfly I hand stitched.
I used Prima flowers in the top left corner then added some ruffled ribbon thru it.
I found a SU stamp in the catalogue that I liked, but did't have, so I duplicated it on Word and printed it off.

I was happy with the finished product.




And a closeup



Okay, so in between 'stages' I really did keep checking on hubby as he was 'watching the game' (still thru eyelids). So, being a good wife, I just let him be.
When he finally woke up he had a craving for chinese food.
So, AGAIN being a good wife, I picked up the phone and ordered it.
Feeling bad that he slept the afternoon away, hubby cleared the table and put the leftovers away. Again, being the good wife that I am, I let him do it so as not to have him feel bad.
After dinner we watched the SAG Awards and now it's after 11:00 and he's off to saw more logs while I blog.

A good wife? Maybe. A good husband? Yes.

Have a great week! :)
