day 18 - suncatchers

Last night I ended up doing a little more than I expected. I stayed up till way past my bedtime and made two suncatchers. With another two to finish tonight, I've made 4 for the lady who ordered them. I figure if I can finish 2-3 more before I see her, she'll have more to choose from.

These two are made using Wayne's wire creations. The one above is delicate and pretty, a flower with clear and pinkish crystals. It'd look great hanging in a window.

The one below is centered around a flattened antique spoon which Wayne has added wire embelishments to. This one is about 12in long all together.

The other ones I'm working on are recycled and re-purposed items. Stay tuned.

What I did today:

I finally cleaned up the mess on the guest bed. When I removed the linen closet from the living room I ended up with a huge amount of doonas, sheets and blankets that needed a new home. This is a small house with small rooms and a huge living room. I only have one wardrobe in the guest room and its really small... I'm cutting down on the amount of doonas I have and will get some vacuum bags for underbed storage for what I keep.

In short: one thing ticked off the list - clean up the guest room and sort the bedding.

Actually, that's two ticks. Yippee!

I also brought the ironing board in from the shed (we don't iron in this house - its against our religion). That's one tick off the sub-list in my make cushions and curtains from old flour sacks project.

Of course, before I can do anything I need to buy a new cover for it. The one on it is pretty disgusting... Its not handled the shed very well and I think mice might have been using the top of it as a lover's lookout...

Yeech.

So one thing crossed off the list, one more added to it.

What I didn't do:

Go back to the tip shop to pick up a couple of things I saw yesterday which I'm thinking I might need want.

Then again... I'm rethinking it now. Maybe I don't want need them after all.
