About Me

Hi, I am Georgina Cook! I blog because I relish in "sharing what I love". While there are so many things in life that I love (Cath Kidston, Galaxy chocolate, my husband's eyes, eBay, plucking my eyebrows (i just do...) , and Christmas morning), this blog will focus on my greater passions: crafting, going cool places with my hubby, shopping, decorating and every day life lessons.

Faux Letters

LETTERS! They are everywhere! They are on stands, they are on wall hangings, they are in frames. They add such a homely feel to any room. I love them! I already have quittttte a few,  ha!  Here's my wee lil collection!


Arron got me these for our first xmas together... they had some on our honeymoon and i reaaaaally wanted them!


My lil sis got me these... LOVE THEM!


I got these from a little boutique in a nearby village!


People seem to be making their own wooden ones... So I knew he needed a cheap crafty way to make some... and I came up with these:

You will need:
Glue gun!
Fabric
Cardboard
Scissors



 1. Write out your letters onto the cardboard.... I'd reccomend doing it with a ruler so they are nice and straight.

2. Cut out the fabric roughly half an inch around each letter.

3. Glue your fabric letters onto the cardboard and tuck the excess neatly around the back!

Lovely!
