Chopsticks and Fabric



If anyone has been reading Shabby Chic Cafe recently,

or seen me around Facebook,
you will know by now I have been painting chopsticks,
I've even speckled my chopsticks!!!
(actually the should have been spotty
but speckles were easier)
So just for those who have been wondering,
here are the chopsticks,
painted and speckled!


And this is what I need them for!


I shall put some of these lovelies in my blogshop soon.



On Wednesday I received a lovely parcel through the post,
not a complete surprise, but very, very welcome.
It was from Little Gem.

We had organised for her to get me
some lovely gingham fabric,
but Gem, bless her heart, has gone the extra mile
and sent me some extra too.

Thank you sweetie xxx

So today I am a happy bunny
(even though my hand/wrist is bandaged.....that's another story! Let's just say washing up is dangerous even when I don't get cut or scalded!!!)


With love and blessings in Christ
Elaine

LOL, Claire sounds just like someone who's obviously still snoring away oblivious...
They are fantastic. I was wondering what you were doing with them, you tease, though I'm a fine one to talk I guess with my buttons! They are gorgeous. Love the idea. xxxxxxxxxx
