Playtime, of a different kind!

There won't be much crafting done by me for the next couple of weeks. This little chap....
...and his big sister....
..have come to stay, and they're keeping me very busy!

Box clever

I've been given some boxes....
...actually, there were a few more than this, but I gave them to our son. He's going to put some of his artwork on them.
Here's a closer look...
...they are all different sizes....
......the hinges and clasps are all in working order...
....all the labels will come off and I shall have to leave a couple of the boxes open for a while to eradicate the cigar aroma.
But this one had something divine in it...
I have eaten some of this delicious Turkish Delight and it's absolutely yummy!
There are also these boxes..
..I though this one would make a lovely "treasure chest"!
This one...
...I may try some pyrography on. I do like the image on the top.
I haven't yet decided what method to use on every box, but I'll be trying a few techniques, paper, paint, mosaic, maybe even stamping!
These are some eye shadow palettes which our daughter has given me..
...They are all unused, and some really pretty shades. I shall be using these on paper and card projects. I once heard a well know tv craft presenter say that eyeshadows could not be used for paper projects.
....well I'm of the "anything is possible" school....
...and it is!
I'm still knitting and working on some springtime flowers....
...I'm also working on some new cupcakes, larger ones, like these...
these will be in my folksy shop, shortly.
Happy crafting!
