Oh here I am scraping in by the skin of my teeth again for Tuesdays Treasures. But I made it and that's what counts...
My treasure today is a celebration of the fact that I am a 'bower bird' and I have a little table with a large glass jar on it into which goes shells, pretty stones, pieces of glass etc. from jaunts to places of natural beauty. It is a continual struggle for me to resist the temptation to bring a little something home on these occassions. I think I was a Victorian lady in a previous life with a penchant for collecting things. Anyway my little jar gives me great pleasure whenever I walk past reminding me of beautiful places and special days.
There are other little treasures on this table as well. The star fish were given to me by a friend.
I am linking up with the very wonderful and inspirational MELODY who is our hostess with the mostest. Pop over for a visit and see what else is being shared today or better still share one of your treasures.
The reason I am so late is because I was determined today to finish "A Christmas Tail" so I could finally get a bit of peace from the 'mouse' I finished the Santa Sack "SHE" just had to have and the binding is on the little quilt.
Great! Thinks I. That will be a nice little bit of stitching for this evening......but NO! Of course not! "Bossy Mouse" now thinks she would like those 'puff things' on the bottom of the little quilt. So I have just cut out a whole bunch of circles for some 'puff things'. I am scared to think what she will want next......
A few of you have asked me what fabric I have used for her little quilt. It is "Hugs & Holly" by Wooden Bear for Red Rooster. Some gorgeous Chrissy fabrics in this range....I love it and thankfully so does Miss Mistlemouse". Well I am off to make a whole bunch of Yo-Yos.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Blessings Michelle xxx
PS Forgot to say yesterday I will draw the giveaway on Monday 22/10/12.(senior moment)
You haven't "just made" it in my part of the world it's only 9.30am in the morning here. I love the idea of a glass jar full of memories, oh and here we don't call them "senior moments" we call them "craft moments".... Can't Remember A Flipping Thing" moments. LOL Hugs x
