Just a quick stop in as i'm currently trying to decorate my upstairs, and when I say trying I really mean its trying me, damn fibro is in full on flare up mode and my hips albeit I know they are broken already feel like shards are flying off at hitting every single nerve in my back and legs and that someone has a really jagged knife and constantly twisting it every which way in them, but i'm determined to get it done before I get the Christmas decorations out.
I have been crafting in between attempts with the paint brush and emulsion and currently have a few projects that are laying half done on my table. One of the projects that have been completed is the one I want to share this evening...
This is a recycled pringles tube and is just the right height to hold my longer paint brushes in, I have several of them that hold other long crafty supplies in, even a couple in the food cupboards with spaghetti in, they really come in handy for so many things, that's my excuse for munching my way through them anyway :) It has firstly been covered in white paper and then with the red that is an a4 sheet width way on and then trimmed slightly on the length to fit overlapping a wee bit. A white panel was cut and edged with a black and red marker and placed in the centre of the tube to make the awesome image from the lovely Tamara at The Stamping Chef really stand out. I then cut lengths of ribbon that also says 'Keep calm and craft on' on it from the London Line (which I think is a docrafts product, I know I purchased it at The Range anyways), and added it to the bottom of the tube and with a double bow tied at the top.
Before I go, I would like to wish all of my american friends a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
Love and hugs
Natasha xnx


Hi, Natasha! How nice to see your sweet comment on my blog this morning, and that you have become a follower. so I hurriedly came to your place and checked things out. I'm sorry about that awful pain you were experiencing and hope that it is alleviated by now. There is nothing like that terrible nerve pain in a person's back, and how it "refers" all over the body, depending which nerves are misfiring.
ReplyDeleteMy paint brushes are stored in a Pringle's can, too, but not nearly as pretty as yours, because mine has never been adorned! What a fabulous idea - thanks for the inspiration! Please take care of you, hugs, de
