A little bit of craft going on.

Well, once again I have been busy doing a few items for what is called a "Vide Grenier" here in France. It is much like the car boot sale in the UK but you can't do it from the car boot you have to set up a table and leave the car parked somewhere else. This makes for a bit of a scramble early in the morning when setting up but apart from that it is usually a very pleasant day as long as the weather remains decent!

I will be selling unwanted items as well as some of the following plaques with sayings on them. All in ASCP and waxed.

Live well, Laugh often, Love much.

Also gave a new life to a small wall cupboard in ASCP Cream, it was an orangey pine colour and looked great in it's new paint with a light distressing.

I am still working on a large kitchen larder cupboard also in cream it's had a first coat but as I like to sand between coats (not necessary but I like the feel of a smooth finish) I will need to empty it and do that outside. So it will have to wait for now.

Making wine, lazy cat and lizard

Plenty of redcurrants so made wine again this year, hopefully it will get bottled before it is drunk!



Lazy, dozing Monsieur Minnou



First attempt at relief stencilling with lime plaster, could do better.







Just been too busy!

You see that my blog title was well chosen as it has been some time since I put anything on my blog. Life goes on and things do get done.

This is the new wall colour in the lounge and I love it. It is a home made paint made with lime and pigment and it only took two attempts to get the right colour!

Spring, more like summer.

Angelic.

My vide grenier purchase cleaned and decorated with another find at the Graphics Fairy.

An old drinking bottle found in barn cleaned and decorated with a pretty bird from the Graphics Farity.

Another photo box

This one is for Mum in Law and hope she will be as pleased with it as my Mum was with hers.

Memories box

A box I covered with images from The Graphics Fairy which has turned out well, I hope my grandaughter likes it.
