Scrabble board

Good morning folks, yes it's Jen back again. Jude isn't feeling too good at the minute so I'm filling in for her with the blog. 

You may remember last year when I put together a scrabble board with all of our families names on it. The trouble I had fitting them all on lol. 

Well since the arrival of our newest member, Charlotte Rose in June, I have been thinking about redoing the board to be able to fit her name on. 

The last time I did it, I cut a scrabble board down to be able to fit in a 12 x 12 frame. But this time I ordered a new 16 x 16 inch frame online, so that I could leave the scrabble board whole. 

Mum picked me up a new scrabble board in a charity shop and then I spent hours and hours trying to get the names to all fit together!

But eventually I managed it, all 24 of us. So it's official Charlotte is now part of the family lol.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

It's a puzzle

Good morning crafty friends, hope you are all well. I have the lurgy again (tonsillitis) so have been back to the doctors for more antibiotics. Which I then had a reaction to, anyway I have different ones now so hopefully I will be on the mend soon. But because I haven't been feeling well, I haven't really done any crafting, so I decided that while I was resting I would do the name frame for me, that I have wanted to do for months. Thinking it would be an easy relaxing job! ha ha. 

So I got an old Scrabble board and cut it down slightly to fit in a 12 x 12 inch frame.  Then I got all the letters out that I would need for the 23 names in our family. That is when the fun started lol. After puzzling over this (easy) job for quite some time, and nearly getting everyone on a few times, I eventually had to call in some back-up from Jude. Then it still took us over an hour to go from this.....

.....to this. Yeah, we finally got there, and managed to get everyone on, although I must admit we haven't used that 'important' middle square lol.

Then all I had to do was glue all the letters down and fit the board in it's frame.

This will now be going on our staircase somewhere I think. Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Scrabble Board

Good Morning all, hope you are all well. Today's post is another of my Scrabble name frames, but a little bit different.

This time I used the Scrabble board too! lol. 

I made this one for a friend of my daughter's, but as she wanted 6 names on it I thought I would see what they looked like on the Scrabble board. 

I had to cut the board down to get it to fit a 12 x 12 frame. But I think it looks good. 

And Louise loved it, so hope you like it too.

Take care, and I'll see you soon.
