esmer - super box and some lovely stuff on your blog :T
I've had a bit of a :mad: day today............well first part was ok -covered a little 'memo' box (the sort for loose paper) I'd had it a while, two more bought me since then so decided it could go to a new home. That all went ok and I'm pleased with it. So, confidence on the up I thought I'd make a button necklace for foster sons girlfiend..............oh I wish I'd not started - got almost half way, thread knotted and I couldn't get it undone so ended up breaking it:eek: On top of that I knocked my coffee all over the floor :eek: Now have button necklace that would fit a doll....................lol:rotfl:(well you have to laugh don't you but don't you hate it when things go wrong ? or is it just me ?)I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

i find when one thing goes wrong, lots do
and the more you battle, the worse it gets
i KNOW its best to walk away and go back to it
but thats easier said that done
so i can feel your pain, i bet we all can
spent all day making a gingerbread family
lady in america saw them, and asked me to make some
to represent each member of her family that she spends christmas day with
so i have her family, MIL, FIL, mum & dad, little girl, 2 boys, & BIL
all sat on my workbench
they just need stuffing & fininshing
then off they go0 -
