Keeping busy while confined at home

Hello dear friends,


first of all, I want to thank you, dear friends, for your compassionate comments on my previous post. The situation is hard on all of us, each with his own problems.

I went through my stash and found these little frames that I bought on a sale long ago and forgot all about them.  I intend to make little vignettes.  I still have a few of those little chef magnets with which to make a new bbq scene or maybe a little kitchen. It doesn't hurt to have a few gifts in stock.

This little vignette was a giveaway back in 2011. (Thanks, Blogger for not deleting the photo.) I did several more but they were all gifted away.


Going through my stash is a time-consuming job. I got sidetracked and my head was filled with lots of plans and new ideas.  I found long-forgotten treasures. Here are two large transparent beads. Glued to each other they make an impressive flower vase. It's the first time I am pleased that I hoarded, there's enough to keep me occupied for months to come, now that I decided to work on smaller scales.




I haven't glued the flowers into the vase,  they're loose and turning about so you can't see my latest madness.
I dried baby breath flowers in a jar full of silica.  Plucked out the dried flowers and painted the stems and branches green. Then I glued on tiny white paper flowers.

The vase is a glass bead. The three stems are very thin but strong and able to go through the small hole in the bead. The flowers look very delicate and I am quite pleased with the result.




I hope all is well with you and yours and that you keep staying healthy. Blessings to all of you my dear friends and followers.

  5. the vases are perfect and the flowers are stunning! I know, I saw a very funny meme about all crafters have been preparing for this our entire lives. And another meme where a non-crafter asked a crafter, but what happens when you run out of supplies? And the crafter just laughs. Anyway, I am glad to see you are creating! It makes this all much easier emotionally.

    I love seeing your tiny flowers, they're well made and so cheerful colored! The vases look both wonderful.

  13. I suppose all of us nodded when you talked about how time consuming it was to look through your stash, how nice to meet stuff that was once enthouistacally bought and in the meantime forgotten and how good it is to be a hoarder. *smile*

    Your stash offered you some wonderful items and you've turned them into awesome vases. I really like your delicate new flower, what a genius idea. And those small frames are very promising... whatever you're going to do next, I'm anticipating to see new wonderful and awesome miniatures around here. ;O)

    Take good care of yourself and best wishes!
