Look at that - the tomato tins are getting the treatment! My inside desk looks as it did two weeks ago but with more space because the tins are missing. I'm using a very cheap acrylic to base coat them and the drying is patchy to say the least. Not too concerned because the napkins I'm going to use for the actual decoupage surface are quite patterned. I'll second coat and possibly even third - just to be sitting in the warm shade really! I have a ton of cards to make over the next few days; Mr Dunnit is working away till the end of the week so am going to try to make hay; I keep odd hours when I'm on my own so assuming the mojo is up and running, it should be a productive week for both of us!
Thank you so much for messages and real mail that celebrated WOYWW's 16th anniversary. I was very surprised and touched to receive 'real life' ATCs; they're a treasure.
Now, however far behind (me) or ahead (everyone else) you are with your craft plans, whatever you're working on and wherever you're doing it, please show and tell, it's much better than crafting alone! Link over at Sarah's so that we can come and join you. I've got ice cubes by the bag full and tea if you're gasping. And don't tell, but there's coconut cake and lemon drizzle in the tin too....am expecting visitors tomorrow!
Weird isn't it, how I needed to leave a tidy desk! The big tins are waiting for a coat of paint in advance of a bit of napkin decoupage. I did one at a workshop some time last year and wanted to do some more but couldn't source the catering pack size tins. Me and Mr Dunnit were taking advantage of a wood fired pizza 'kitchen' that turns up in our little town once or twice a month and I remarked to the chef that the tin he had on the counter with a basil plant in it was just the size I'd like to get my hands on. He laughed and said on an average night he got through three of four tins and I could have time whenever I liked! Happily walked home with a carrier bag full of dirty tomato tins. And after washing and drying, that's where they were put. And have stayed. It'll be another 'don't hold your breath' I think.....but I'll show you when I've done something with at least one of them!
