Think pink

The last day of my first month of getting rid of things I don’t want anymore. Things in boxes that have been shoved into the back of closets or stacked in the tiny storage space we have. Only 334 more items to go! Yikes. I might be down to pencils and paper clips and old pairs of socks in my last month.
My friend renovated her 40s bathroom several years ago and I scooped up some of the tiles, wanting to make some garden mosaic stepping stones or ornaments with them. My interests have changed. I’ll try to give them away to someone crafty.
The tile sphere is a project from http://craft.dow.com/craft/proj/1495.htm
Update: I posted these tiles on craigslist this afternoon in the free section and within an hour and half they were out of here! Who’d a thunk it?

A friend of mine went through a phase where he drank this brand of soda. He made a few fridge magnets from the bottle caps. I liked the simple design and thought I would make a few of my own. So he kindly saved some caps for me. That was about seven years ago. I have plenty of other fridge magnets now and if I have a spare half hour sometime I would rather have a cup of tea and read poetry than glue magnets to the inside of these caps.

I’ve got a lot of projects waiting around to be started/finished. These frames need finishing and glass cut to fit. Not going to happen. I paint botanical watercolours now and then and am always on the lookout for interesting frames.
