When I spend ages over where to stick a teeny weeny embellishment like a pearl or diamante gem my sister calls it "Fiddle Fart"
A FEW CHANGES .....
A SMORGASBORD OF BLOG POSTS .......!!!!!!!
I still do not have a scheduled bank of crafty blog posts ...... HOWEVER, I had an e-mail from my lovely friend Jan The Fan who suggested that though I still feel that I can't produce a "crafty" post on a daily basis, I might consider adding the odd very short post about perhaps one of my many "objects of desire", charity shop finds, what's in the shops, ideas & inspiration, other blogs that catch my fancy, sayings, and some of my photographs etc. as and when I feel like it ..... and I thought why not? ...... I am still not promising a post every day ..... but if you pass on by you never know what you might find!!
OLD TEMPLATES AND FILES
I am sorry I cannot send out any templates, poems etc. that I may have previously offered before May 2012 ...... my computer decided to die then and I lost all my files and I do not intend to redo or replace them, what's gone is gone!

What’s On My Desk Wednesday
Treasure ……… rescued from the bin …… lots and lots of old, worn tape measures …… aint got a clue to do with them ….. but sewing them together springs to mind …. all suggestions welcome!
A shop in my town called paperweight used to sell belts and wallets made out of these tape measures sewn together, so when my work got some coloured ones in, I immediately wanted to make some!

You could make distressed or shabby chic toddler keepsake height charts with tiny spaces for photos and journalling.
Put them end to end and they might just fit around my hips after my Christmas binge! lol!
use dem as ribbons !!
Do you have enough to weave together to make a bag? (for knitting or sewing).
Toni :o)
Hiding this pic from my 4 year old. He has an obsession, lol. Have a good christmas Helen x
I can see why you rescued them, although I wouldn't know what to do with them either!
I wonder whether they would sew together to make a bag or case for knitting/crochet needles?
Sometimes rescued lovelies need to sit for a while before you know what you really want to do. Have fun deciding!
