Well I know I haven't been on here for quite a few days now but it's all for a good reason! I have been very busy creating away in my little craft corner of our spare room!
I have been making plenty of Canvases to keep me busy, I have also made a peg bag and painted a couple of (rather large) pebbles, they're not rocks!....They're not rocks!?!
The
The canvases on the other hand, turned out quite well considering the amount of time I spent on them. Usually if I spend hours upon hours on something I lose concentration, resulting in my lack of enthusiasm and ability, (pretty much what happened with the pebbles) but I took plenty of breaks and started on something new while I had time away from the previous unfinished piece. Only the problem there though, is that I run out of surface space to work on and I'm surrounded by buttons and wet paint brushes to clean up before I make more mess for myself as I move on.....If you saw the amount of buttons I posses and brushes I go through, you'd understand!!
Now don't even get me started on the peg bag I made yesterday! It took me about four hours to make on and off. Two attempts and cutting out the pattern, stitching and restitching and stitching and restitching, and then I got into a bit of a dilemma over which buttons to use to add a bit of charm to it! An hour it took me to decide, an hour!! What's wrong with me, I'm such a perfectionist. That or I'm just too indecisive!! I'll go with a perfectionist! Although I must say, it looks good and my wife is very happy she has a new peg bag........ and the pegs don't have to live in the weighing scales dish any more!
So, that's pretty much the past couple of weeks for me, and I hope you like what I have created..... I do!
Until next time, have a pretty few days xxx
