But now back to crafting. Anyone with young
children will probably know, or at least heard of Mr Tumble, I'd never heard of him until I
was asked if I could do a Mr Tumble themed plaque, so I did some
research (looked on google) and found that the character Mr Tumble
was a children’s presenter on CBeebies who wore bright primary
colours that was covered in spots, stripes and stars,
| Mr Tumble from CBeebies |
this is what I came up
with...

| A Door Plaque for Finley |
 |
| Mr Tumble Style Plaque |
Finley's mum was very
pleased she said Finley would love the bright colours and it would be perfect for his
bedroom.
I'm linking this post to Wendy's Handmade Monday over at her blog so pop over and join me in looking at the great blogs over there.
Wishing you all a great week
