Things are well underway at Crafty Mama HQ and the craft room now resembles a scene from Take Hart with scissors, paint, ribbons, card, paper and not forgetting our essential glue guns strategically placed around the table and floor.
I don't know how we coped without glue guns in the past and these days you can hear the dulcet cries escaping through the windows as one of us regularly sticks ourselves to something or worse burns their finger thus resulting in a nasty blister and no sensation ......................I must point out that even though it was jolly painful no swear words were used in the process of this. We are ladies you know....................................
Anyway, everything is going to plan and we have produced some gorgeous goodies to show at the local Craft Fairs. We did have one disaster recently when we tried to gently sponge a rust coloured paint around the edges of a wooden Gingerbread Man tree decoration. I am afraid to say this little fellow didn't make it as he looked like he had just witnessed a Mafia type killing, the idea of putting him on our stall for all the kids to see would of been to distressing and may of caused tears................................Unfortunately there was no salvation as the colour was too dark for us to paint over.........................He is now known as John Doe and sits quite happily watching us craft.
With Christmas being only 62 days away things have stepped up a level now and we find ourselves happily crafting all morning a few times a week. I am sure my neighbours must wonder what on earth we are doing as screams of laughter ring out every now and again.........................................................What are we laughing at????...........................Well........................................That would be telling now wouldn't it.
More news soon
Lots of Love
The Crafty Mamas
