Still feeling crafty!

Not a great night, part rocking chair and part bed, maybe all rocking chair tonight. Then today the pain has been more evident so I haven’t been out except for spending some time decanting a huge order of bird food supplies. Pandora came to check out what I was doing, luckily not too many birds around at the time.
The rest of the photos are of my progress with the rather fiddly wooden cello kit. The instructions mentioned several pieces were fragile and there were spares.I did need a couple of the spares en route. I was also nearly tearing my hair out trying to do the stringing! Just a group of pics now.
The finished piece is just seven and a half inches high. Have put it in the display cabinet with the greenhouse interior.
I am hoping the leg will be a little asker tomorrow so I can get a few more plants in.

  1. Hopefully a full night in the chair might help a bit. Does just seem as it would do the opposite, results tell. 🤞
    It’s a long way to have to drag the bird supplies. You really should wait and rope Darren in to help. You’re just stubborn 😂
    I really like the look of the cello, and the stringing does actually look the hardest part, so I’m with you there. But the finished item looks really really good. Worth the effort that went into it. Maybe it’s time to have a rest from clocks and cellos for a while now. If the leg does play ball tomorrow and you get a better night tonight then gardening will seem a doddle after the last two projects.
    Still not heard about any fabric project…………

  2. Got to keep trying to improve things. I can sleep reasonably in the chair, just need to stay there longer!
    Don’t have any other kits as hand, maybe another jigsaw tomorrow!
    There is a whole range of instruments in the small kit range, nd lots of bigger mechanical ones. MY try not her sometime.
