Latest Thrifty Treasures

I found these all at the same shop for next to nothing. There were so many pieces of dark turquoise glass all from ONE PERSON'S collection if you can imagine!

Isnt' the fabric just fabu? I will make some scented sachets for sale in the fall with them I think.

Have You Made Any Flowers Yet?

Today I am participating in a Blog Hop at Somewhat Simple.

It is called Flower Power and offers a place to meet new people and also show off your floral skills.

I really haven't made many flowers yet, but here is a picture of my first attempt at felt ones.

I certainly had fun making them, and they were very quick and easy. As you can see, they can be used to adorn all sorts of things. I will probably make some into pins for the Fall when the weather gets more chilly, so  I can put them on the cardies I wear all the time (and no they are NOT Mr. Rogers cardigans!).

I just had a phone interview for an online support job that sounds right up my street, so I am on high alert waiting for a second interview.

Wonderful World of Froggy and Toad

Have you ever tried to watch television or find a good radio station to listen to as you craft or go about your daily chores?

I just found a brilliant solution and even YOUR CHILDREN will enjoy it too!

BBC Radio 7 Live Player.

There are loads of plays there that you can listen to. I am listening right now to "Wind in The Willows" by Kenneth Grahame.

Of course I read all the books when I was a child and have even seen it on stage but it never fails to capture me with its delightful humour and wonderfully colourful characters.

Give the BBC Radio player a go and see what you think.
