Creative weekend!

Day 3 of Mosaic project. I managed to get all the tiling done..Now I need to do some grouting. I think I will use black grout for contrast. Yes I know there is lots of white but I used what I had rather than buying anything. And I quite like how it has turned out so far.  I have a few ideas for adding extra colour but you will just have to wait and see!























I managed to almost finish the treasure bags for the kinder fete. All I need is straps and we are done! If you really love them and I know you do...then get along to the Castlemaine Kinder Fete on the 17th Nov 2012. There will be plenty of other crafty mums pressing their feet to the peddle. So there should be some excellent stuff.



Well after a week of intense wind and rain it was a delight to spend the weekend outdoors!
Hope yours was a peach!

Day 2 of project...

Day 2 of project has come and gone...and day 3 seems so far out of sight...wind and rain have stepped in and put a stop to all mosaic fun. I was so enjoying the smashing of ceramics and wondering where the exact spot was going to be....instead I am sitting tight wondering if the roof will be taken off. Should I dress well just in case I am sent to Kansas city..Yes, better keep my boots on!

To take my mind off the wind.... snip snip snip go my scissors as I cut bunting for the fete...wearing my best dress and boots.
Take Care

With Spring comes PROJECTS!

Yep Projects. I have started to mosaic an electrical spool as a bit of a test. I am planing to do some amazing design in our bathroom but have never really done any thing like it before. So I thought I should get some practice!
Here is day 1........
may not look like much...yet!

Not sure if this is my special way of procrastinating. There is the exhibition and a heap of sewing for the kinder fete...And wedding bunting...so sew! Well at least I am procrastinating with something creative....I am really enjoying breaking up plates and tiles...Cathartic art.

So Welcome Spring and all the projects you bring...

Hope you have projects galore.
