Pooh is 90 years old Commemorative Frame

Our Silly Old British and Much Loved Bear Winnie the Pooh, became the grand age of 90 on 14th October 2016. So I made this Enchanted Place to commemorate the occasion.

My Blog is called The Enchanted Place after the Enchanted Place in the Pooh stories by A.A.Milne.I Love, Love, Love Classic Pooh by E.H.Shepard and A.A.Milne.

I made this before I had the op on my finger, the good news is I am slowly getting movement back.I hope to be back crafting again soon!

I cut the template above in card and covered it in Modelling Paste, dabbing it with the spatula to raise it up a little. When dry I used Hot Coca and Peppermint Tea paints to cover it.

I found the silhouette of Classic Pooh and Christopher Robin online and printed it out. I then traced the outline and transferred it onto black card and cut it out.I adhered their feet to the top of the hill.

The frame was an inexpensive wooden frame, which I covered in Flitterglu and Chocolate Box Megaflakes.

I painted some card with Grandmas Teacup, Wimberry and Iced Gem paints. I cut it to fit the inside of the frame. I used black Archival ink to stamp the Pooh sentiment from the Caitlin Stamp set in the top right hand corner of the card.

I found some black number stickers in my bulging old sticker box, and I covered them with Megaflakes.

I picked some twigs and herbs from the garden and coated them in Slap it On. When dry I adhered them to the hill and the front of the frame.

Many Happy Returns Pooh!

Pooh cake and Crafts and Whatnots

I made this Pooh cake oooh... probably well over 10 years ago. I made it for my Classic Pooh website, I even wrote a tutorial about how I made it with photos etc. Of course I can't find them now! I am planning on making another cake for Pooh's 90th Birthday this Friday 14th October! Depending on how it turns out I will put it on the blog.

 

This was one of my first attempts with stampbord, which I also made years ago, it was the latest new thing to try back then!

This is a more recent Pooh whatnot.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you are enjoying my week of Pooh. Hopefully my hand will be recovered enough to get back to crafting soon!

Free Cath Kidston Pooh Printables

It's not long now until our silly old British bear is 90 years old on the 14th October! Cath Kidston recently released a new pooh print (unfortunately it was Disney Pooh and not the original Pooh as drawn by E.H.Shepard - still lovely though !) They now have free Pooh Printables on their blog to celebrate their new release which sold out in record time!.

I am missing my crafting a lot, I am having my wound checked tomorrow and hopefully after a course of therapy I will be able to use my right hand again. It has been a challenge steering my wheelchair left handed, everyone dives for cover whenever I start to move!

Even though I can't craft just yet... I will post lots of Classic Pooh things this month.

Hope everyone is having a good start to Autumn!
