Silver project

Ok, so in my jewellery class I picked a nice simple project, hmmm ok that's not true I did the opposite. I found the fiddliest design I came up with and made that.

 This project has left me with lots of happy thoughts whilst I sawed out the smallest flowers possible (in the picture below that file is a mini one, just so you can gain some perspective of what I am referring to as small), yes lots of happy thoughts as I filed my thumbs and fingers and managed to saw into my finger nail at one point, I was concentrating so much at one point that I jumped when I realised people were watching me, apparently they were impressed with how quick I was whipping up the little ........ heavy aspiration. The end project will have leafy bits on and will obviously be soldered together. I am still pondering other aspects but this will hopefully end up being a necklace.

Oatmeal biscuits

This is another Be-Ro recipe, I am still having problems with my oven which is why I haven't been doing any baking. But as one of my go to things is to bake I am finding my force abstinence from baking hard to cope with. So even though I did not think they would be nice and I knew my oven would not maintain a temperature I baked. And I felt so much better afterwards and they tasted nice, maybe a bit dry but I am sure that was the ovens fault not the recipes.

Fabric pin boards

For my birthday my friend brought me these,

My filing system was basic it when a bit like this, put into a pile and forget about. To say the least it had its floors. So these pegs seemed like a great way to solve some of the problems with my filing system. So I made some fabric pin boards to peg things to.

As I have no table this ment that my floor was covered, this project alowed me to cut wood, hammer (yes, I did have a problem with my fingers getting in the way) use spay glue and a glue gun. 

 So all in all it was a great project and easy to do, I used the bottom of some draws for the wood so there was even a bit of recycling in there as well.

Not only are they a great way to remember to do things they also look pretty.

Rowan

My nephew turned 1 this month, in celebration I decided that his birthday for my part would have a moose theme. Why well why not!

I started knitting this fab moose about a year and a half ago, I could have finished sooner but I took my time and some more time, aaaaaannd then a little more time.
Happy Birthday Rowan.
