I don’t buy many Easter eggs but it is worth having a look in Tesco at the moment as they have eggs at really good prices, i.e three small Milky Bar ones for £3, others at half price at £1.25, all “proper” brands. The offers end on 26th February … so I am going to stock up on a few …. oh small Lindt bunnies 3 for £1 too.
When I mess about trying to decide where to put the tiniest and most insignificant of flat back gem I call it Fiddle Farting, hence the name of the blog!!!

My Little Compendium Of Curiosities
Remember the box that my wooden hearts came in? Well, I couldn’t resist fiddle farting with it …… and had soooooo much fun!
The box measures 4ins x 4ins and each compartment measures 1.25ins x 1.25ins.
I lined each one with a small scrap from my Papermania Portobello Road paper pad and then the excitement of finding tiny treasures to fill them began.
I wanted to make it as 3D as possible, so some of the bits are stuck on several layers of foam pads, like the birdcage, boat and gingerbread man.
I love the sweet jars best, followed by the fish bowl, again on foam pads so it stands proud of the home sweet home sign.
I am not sure if you can buy boxes like this on their own, because if they did I would buy them buy the crate …. as making something like this is my idea of crafting heaven!
If you know where I could get some more, without buying a whole pile of embellishments PLEASE let me know, I have lots more little bits I am desperate to house.
