Trinket boxes a painting

Well whilst I wait for the sun to come out I thought it was about time I went about painting a trinket box I had knocking around. With a bit of luck it will come out good enough to sell. I'm going for a fusion of pinks and soft purples, blending the edges and doing some pattern work. Felt up the inside and maybe put a small decoration within the inside of the lid. Gotta get some more sandpaper, but hey, I'm back to work in a couple of hours and when you work in a diy store things like that just tend to leap into your hands and lead you to the till.

Been mooching around other people blogs today too. Keeping up on other peoples achievements. Love some of the things I've seen. Some real talent out there. Hosted by 1st Unique Gifts 'Handmade Monday' has kicked off. Really good idea. Love the effort and that people put into the creations and a great way to see more. Think that idea is a keeper ;) Here's the link: http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/blog/

Which means the week may be looking up...

    Cannot wait to see the finished trinket box. I have the same problems in shops, things just leap off the shelves into my basket

    Looking forward to seeing the trinket box. Funny how things just pop into your shopping basket isn't it? My friends think I'm a bit weird (well a lot) because I would rather visit a DIY store than a clothes shop.

    Yes... things do tend to leap into baskets don't they (she says staring at a pile of randomly purchased items...that mysteriously found their way to her home).

    I have that problem on the internet - things just mysteriously arrive at my door and money just randomly disappears from my bank account - DH has a suspicion the two are linked, I on the other hand am gleefully, obliviously, happily receiving some sparkly goods through the post :-)
