Burn, baby

The aforementioned flu-y thing stopped me from having a craft day with my mum. Luckily, D went over on the Friday to help trim some trees and he was able to bring back a couple of bits I needed to finish my Christmas present crafting.

For D's mum, I wanted to decorate a couple of chopping boards (anything to stop her using these solid marble slabs that blunt her knives like crazy!). My dad has a pyrography set which he let me borrow, and this is my first attempt at using it. I am so pleased with the result. So pleased, in fact, that I almost don't want to give these away! 

But no, I shall be good. I shall just have to make some for myself as well!
