I was amazed at how the extra time having no computer benefited my crafting time!!!
Well, I am sort of up and running again, my old computer is now a donation for spares and I am getting to know a new, racy laptop ..... (a lot of fat quarters worth in it!!)
There is so much dependency on our technology and somehow I expect it to last forever.... and then of course one has to get to know all the 'new' stuff.......
Back to the crafting ....
I had a visit to a charity shop and found some bits and pieces...
last year I told a fairy tale with a happy ending....
so first up I made a smaller size mushroom....
... here they are getting to know each other....
then I used a couple of pretty plates...
... and made a fruit bowl....
.... and a skein bowl (!!!).....
(I have finished the Easter chocolates)
... and here they are getting to know each other.....
I want to find a nice larger plate and base and make a cake stand next.....
Just a cup or glass for the base and a plate or bowl for the top... a blob of hot glue .... done in a few minutes....
Oh... and before I forget... I know Sharon is enjoying the sneaky peaks... she does like to have a hint of what is to come....
Righto, Gotto Go..... time to take some pictures of all that quilting I got done.......
lol,oh you are mean Fiona,poor Shaz,lol.

ReplyDeleteSharon, I'm sure all the teasing will be worth it when you get to see what Fiona has made.
