I came across some great blogs this week and was inspired to play.<\/p>\n

Lots of pictures, I have a day off work today hooray!<\/p>\n

Angie Davisons<\/a> beautiful blog inspired this, which brought back lovely memories of making pom poms with my mother, Oh so long ago. They were made with wool in those days!<\/p>\n

These elephants used to march across my sons pram, now they hang around in my craft space. Ben was very amused when I asked him if I could re-purpose them, He thought it would be OK since he had no use for them, being 21 years old now!<\/p>\n

I have made lots of these lovely fabric bowls, which I saw on\u00a0IACW<\/a>, they have made great birthday gifts this year!<\/p>\n

I had to eat a whole tub of Pringles to get this! I wrapped some pretty Laura Ashley fabric around, fastened it with glue. I wrapped some elastic around the base to hold the flowers in place and covered it with a band of folded fabric. I filled the tub with glass pebbles and put a couple of\u00a0huge fabric gerbras in.\u00a0It looks great on my windowsill.<\/p>\n

A girl can never have too many flowers.<\/p>\n

We had our new re-cycling bins delivered this week, apparently it’s going to be a re-cycling revolution! I’m afraid it won’t affect me much as my family already call me a bin diva, (I think they mean diver, but I much prefer diva) everything has to go via my craft space to see if it can be re-used before it goes for re-cycling! \u00a0This week I made these from some junk mail, paper, & a chocolate wrapper I liked the colour of. (I missed out on the eating of it though!)<\/p>\n

not quite a galaxy of blooms<\/p><\/div>\n

and my last picture for today is neither fabric nor paper but it is a flower.<\/p>\n

It is my mum’s rose, Irish Eyes. (I plant named \u00a0roses for people but that’s for another post) I had the flowers on my windowsill and they petrified before dropping, I moved them carefully to take the picture and then they fell apart. I love the cobwebs!<\/p>\n
