So we may be half way through January but it's okay I'm just going to jump straight in. Things are changing here at home so this year I'm planning to be quite good. Umm I may have said that before! But I'm on a mission. There are too many things started and not finished and more worrying too many projects not even looked at yet. (These are craft related not major home improvements will leave that to hubby, well eventually).
Already I have started well having finished a pair of socks for hubby started 3 ago!! Had been panicking about having enough wool but my friend Jenny pointed out I could always do different colour toes! Simple when you have a clever friend.
Last week was my birthday. Hubby kept asking what I wanted and really didn't know as I have so much (that sounds very grand I just believe I'm very fortunate and don't see the point of asking for the sake of having). In the end I said what I really want is something to fix to the door of the wardrobe to hangs things on instead of having them thrown on the chair or stuffed elsewhere. So he found a piece of mdf, edged it and marked, drilled the holes for the screws and my knobs. The knobs I'd brought from a salvo fair 2/3 years ago just for this purpose. They are actually blue and green but only picked up 4 so he found a clear 1 at BnQ to keep with the odd numbers, flows better. So I painted it with white gesso and then used rice paper to decoupage the background before adding a few embellishments, and viola! Very happy.
Today saw the completion of yet another UFO. Not sure how many years ago Jenny brought me this kit guessing 3/4 years ago at least. I've spent the last couple of days finishing the star, Santa and skate. Finally all done ready for this next Christmas.
Plenty more projects still to do and as tempting as it is I'm going to resist the temptation to list them!
