just chatting
Good evening all!
I have had a really nice day out with our daughter-in-law Nadine & during our wander from here to there have picked up some much needed items for the house.
In front of our kitchen sink was a piece of carpet left by the previous owners - but because it was cut roughly we kept getting fluff & threads on the floor. So I needed to get a mat. The other thing was that in our dining room dresser we had always kept our "special days" cutlery - but they were still in the boxes they had been purchased in ( not the lids - in fact they were inherited from my Mum). So when we packed up the old house we threw away the boxes & when we got here we didn't have a cutlery tray to put them in to keep them tidy. After a good look round various places we stopped off at Costco - Nadine had never been there - so I took her just to show her what it was - but in the process found a mat for the kitchen & a cutlery tray for the dining room dresser.
The cutlery tray really was a bargain as they were extendable which meant they could be made to fit our drawer - & I say "they" because they came as a pack of 2 - but the second one was not designed for cutlery but for "whatever"!!! So I now have a nice cutlery drawer & another drawer for "whatever" in my craft room particularly on my desk - it's great. I will take a photo tomorrow of the second drawer & when I have worked out what will go in it will photograph that too. If I can do what I have in mind I might go back for another set - because I think they will stack on top of each other which would be very useful & not use up too much space on the end of the desk.
I told you yesterday of some cards I had made from photos of flowers I had taken. Because I have been out today I have not done anything more with those cards - but hope to over the weekend. Here is a photo of one of them to show you what I am talking about;

It's not that good a photo because I took it late at night. The flower is Kinophia & I think it was one I photographed when visiting a stately home somewhere. I used "My Craft Studio" to create a background paper which I made almost transparent. Then layered the main photo onto complimentary card. It is lacking a sentiment & some more embellishment - so watch this space.
This morning I had an email from another club member - this time a Mold club member with photos of her work - so when I have downloaded her photos I will put them here - probably tomorrow. Keep them coming ladies - it is good to see.
Well the weekend is upon us once more - have a lovely time.
