THE BOX!

Thankfully I don't think that my Mum reads this blog, otherwise she will find out what I have been up to.  The plain MDF box has now been transformed.  I have taken piccies of the lid (see below) and I am just waiting for the mod podge to dry on the base before taking a photo.

The paper and German scraps are from Calico Crafts.  I do miss their bricks and mortar shop (and my visits with Sarah C!!) but they still have some good stuff online.  These items were bought specifically with the box in mind so I didn't feel too bad at having a little splurge!  I also dunked a length of  white lace into a mug of tea (without milk or sugar!) to dye it to blend in with the background!

We had an interesting weekend.  We spent Saturday cleaning out the gutters for someone (well to be more specific, hubby cleaned them out and I just stood and watched for moral support!!!) and thankfully the rain held off until after we had finished.  Last night we went to the Anglican church that we have started attending in the evenings.  They had an ordination service, complete with 3 Bishops, and about 7 other clergy in frocks!  Thoroughly enjoyable (the service I mean!!).

Not much else.  Misha has slept all day, having taken one look at the weather and deciding that she would prefer to stay dry.  That suited me fine as I was not having to clean up muddy pawprints the whole time.  Our next door neighbour has decided to start breeding pigeons (in London for heaven's sake!!!) and so everytime Misha wants out, we have to toddle down to the end of the garden to see if the pigeons are on the loose.  Very stressful!

That's it for now, enjoy the box!
