    Blanket is lovely greentiger, I've used a flag from my stash cupboard to make an apron for dd3 to wear on book day, she's got the rest of her belle outfit but just needed the apron.
    While I'd got my machine out I cleared the mending pile

    Thank you, It was a group idea that evolved from all the staff in the room. We're doing roald Dahl books and wanted a story so we could all dress as a theme. I would have been happy with just witches as I was the witch from wizard of oz last year so already had the costume. It will be a bit of fun to add mouse ears and whiskers. All the ears are made I just need to work out how to attach them.

    I've finally got round to sorting the seaglass. So three to add to the total - it would have been 4 but i'm sat looking at the shells that I need to carry up to the craft room - had my hands full last time I went upstairs..

    I have many bits of prep that I have been doing this week - I've cut up paper bags for pages to junk journals as well as envelopes...

    I still have no finished crafts - but I have sourced the resin for when I need it - I have it saved on ebay I don't want to have it festering in the cupboard until everything is good to go.. I am also determined not to add to stash until i'm ready to go and I will need to paint the table 1st.

    I do have enough seaglass - but I am going to be in Mexico in a few weeks and may find some Mexican Seaglass to add.

    I have a whole list of things i should be doing- and apparently binge watching Criminal Minds wins today...

    So today I may have caved - I have bought some molds to use with resin and seaglass. I haven't yet ordered the resin - but thought that having something to use any extra resin i mix up would be useful...

    They were £10 on Ebay - and £2 on Wish - so I ordered them...

    I still need to figure out the best way to pour the resin for the table - (one step or two) and if i need to dip the glass in any thing 1st... It's about 12 inches across and 10 - 12 mm deep.

    Hope you've all been busier than me - and been having fun crafting...
