Bit of craft, bit of sorting

 I bought card to make a witches hat yesterday and some stuff to adorn it. The card wasn’t big enough to make the rim or the top with one piece, and search as I did I couldn’t find any so tried holding pieces together with sellotape. That didn’t work so then tried double sided tape. I still need glue which will arrive tomorrow!


So far so good. I made up a couple of the diamond are images.


I needed a couple of things from the shop, the clouds were very low today.
I decided to attach some cable ties to the bee house, Darren had some but they weren’t long enough but he showed me how to put two together. Good ide but they just kept sliding off the bucket, so I hooked one in the hole that the handle was in, and hooked the second one through the first one! Where there’s a will there’s a way!
The hunt for the glue made me frustrated and a bit depressed, so I have started another attempt to get my storage under control, so a bit more stuff jettisoned and a few more things have a home now!
Have just enjoyed The Traitors, last two episodes next week.😢

  1. I think the witches hat is looking good, especially with the adornments. You’ll look good in it. You could have just “borrowed” a traffic cone and painted it black 😂 Definitely worth the effort. Will look forward to seeing you wearing it.
    It’s not been a wonderful day today weather wise. Had the threatened storm arrived up there at all? It’s been a bit blustery here a few times, but not too bad.
    When is the bee house going up?
    Storage is a nightmare. I’m still looking for things I know for a fact I have, but just can’t remember where I put them. Like your glue, it’ll be somewhere safe 😂 You do know that the glue will turn up as soon as the new one arrives. It’s always the way!
    Did you wear your hoodie for Traitors this evening? 😊

  2. The rain was quite late arriving but it has been quite heavy at times. I think the weekend storm will hit us harder.
    The hat is taking shape, a bit more adornment yet!
    I am not sure where the bee house will go, the shed seems the obvious place but I think is should be nearer the flowers so will give it some thought.
    I did wear the Traitors hoodie tonight.
    I have alrdy found the glue!!
