Autumn. Wordless Wednesday

In the pink

Had a bit of a funny time, I was very much enjoying making some new CD shard brooches when I was rather clumsy an broke my heat gun.  That put a stop on making brooches for the time being though.  The troube was I had set my mind to making them and I totally could not get into anything else for a while.  So I haven't really done much crafting at all.   However my new gun arrived a few days ago and I have made a pretty pink brooch amongst others.

Anyway this sort of set the theme for my treasury this week and I made a Craftyfolk treasury that is filled with pretty pink items.  Well I hope you'll enjoy

Home-Sweet-Home

It has been a while since I have done a Home sweet home post but today I realised I had not shared my Flipper in the bathroom with you.  Flipper is  quite special to me.  I have always been creative and have been busy with many crafts and mastered quite a few (but still not crochet!  What is SO HARD about that?) but I had never ever painted and very rarely worked in colour. However one day after I had painted my loo I wanted to do someting special to it.  I had come to the wall colour accidentally as I had mixed a bit of midnight blue paint with white to get light blue.... OK that turned out to be a very deep turquoise.  Not a problem as I love that colour but for such a little room there was rather a lot of it.  I left it to dry and wet to iron some duvet covers and one of them had this beautiful dolphin on it.  Yes, I had a lightbulb moment then!  I sketched the outline on the wall and started with some paints to make it real.  It was a wonderful project and I realised that painting wasn't so different from drawing.  So Flipper was my first painting and it has led to many more enjoyable hours painting although not quite on this scale.
