This week a pack of nail caviar sort of dropped into my basket while I was browsing the shelves of Poundland!

Twelve phials of caviar ….. or, if you are a crafter, micro-beads, but I was looking at them for possibly using them as charms on jewellery or as an embellishment on tags (I am still working on that idea), The only thing I need to do to them is take out the stoppers and spray them gold as the plastic just aint working!

With my mojo currently in overdrive my craft room is now being given a right old bending, for a while, when my mojo was flagging, I admit to only using it to use my computer to write my Monkey blog. Working in such a small area has taken some getting used, I confine a project to the turquoise mat, with my tools etc. around me. When Marc was with me, we worked in the front room (as I do for large projects) and all the crafty stuff has to follow!

But, it does keep me disciplined and on track, I can’t get everything out and lay stuff all over the floor like I used to in my old room and I have to make sure everything is left tidy at the end of a crafting session …… that way everything feels fresh to start or continue a project the next day …..

I do find having my A4 card/paper in stacks on the shelves instead of in drawers frustrating though, sometimes finding a sheet of card can be such a palaver, but as far as I can see, at the moment that’s the only way it can be done.

BUT ……. since I discovered that I can indulge in my guilty pleasure Columbo on my tablet on demand ….. I can spend even longer in my craft room and crafting. Usually, on a Saturday afternoon rain stops play when there is a Columbo double bill on 5USA and I’d have to go downstairs to watch it ….. but now ……. now I can do both!! Life just keeps on getting betterer and betterer!
