NEW PERCH FOR THE DOODLY BIRDS

Flat pack woman has been at it again !
I got myself this shelf unit to keep my Doodly Birds perched on and to take to craft events with me.
But before I got round to building it I got distracted twice.
The little canvasses I got at the same time as the shelves got the better of me and I had to have a doodle.
Whilst I was searching out some wire I came across a drawer full of buttons.
Before I knew it I had emptied them onto my desk and proceeded to sort them into colours.
Then I got out the Lakeland jam jars I got from Todmorden secondhand market last week and you can see what happened next.
 Well the shelves got put together with 15 minutes to spare before I had to run out the door.
Oops, forgot to pull the washing out the machine, put the bins out, do the ironing..........

  2. Over from Button Floozies. Love your nice neat spacious studio. I have the same thing happen to me. I always have several things going on. Paint or Mod Podge drying. Needing one more little item on an ATC. Love it that way. Dabbling a little with oil painting but I just hate the drying time.

    1. Do you mean the picture in the frame. It's a stitched piece using French Knots of an apple tree and a fence. It's Stamped with blue ink and say PICK YOUR OWN.
      Thanks for looking Sophie :)

  7. LOL, So recognizable! I do the same, start one thing, find something and end up doing something completely different! I'm typing thi, while my iron is getting hot and I am clearing out a kitchendrawer at the same time.
    But all I really want to do is some crafting!!
    I Only have 1 day off work!

    Love the jars, I use Bonne Maman Jars (with the red checkered lids)
