Whimsical Notions

Rainy days are craft days

Ohh i hate it when its miserable and wet .It puts you in the Blah mood.
Too cold to go out too miserable to stay in.
So thats when the craft starts a humming.I finished a heap of swaps this week.
The charm swap Jewels of the sea for Speckled Egg.Of course i had to make cute little folders
with a little pocket inside -to hold the charms Im, pleased now they are done.i made 6 out of altered scrabble tiles spent an age then hated them so these have mermaids on them and fish dangling and they are sweet.Also made a bird one for Heather of speckled egg for hosting.
Put hers in a nest card .
The other swaps are a 7 Deadly sins swap that i spent waaay too much time on.What was i thinking with the curvy edges.Then the matchbox for glenda ofSweet daisy dreams.She is very
sweet hope she loves her matchbox
.Lastly a tiny Tiara swap i hosted on swapbot and my partner chose icicle colours so lots of ice glitter and crystals also a little cinderella slipper i made her as an extra.



Phew im tired just listing it but what else can you do in the rain.
When life throws lemons make lemonade (or lemon merangue pie which my mother used to make oh yum)
