You managed to catch a beautiful photo of your sun catcher with the sun glinting through it, and you know, sometimes given the right treatment, flaccid things can become stiff again.... <br />JaneJane Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01380462044989718673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-35975634753113582252017-02-12T01:28:28.983+00:002017-02-12T01:28:28.983+00:0020 out of 10 for entertainment value - I am still ...20 out of 10 for entertainment value - I am still laughing!Glennis Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17231665833595286448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-29388910349379270582017-01-30T08:30:17.074+00:002017-01-30T08:30:17.074+00:00Thank you so much Elizabeth, I've usually got ...Thank you so much Elizabeth, I've usually got something on the go crafting wise so I'll be seeing you in the playground again very soon! xx<br /><br />She it totally gorgeous Polly :) - Miss Mac refers to any of my clothes she likes as 'communal property' so I think I'm justified in 'borrowing' her stuff too x<br /><br />Thanks Maarit - crafting is 90% trial and error around here - so many ideas, some work, some not so much but it's all good fun :-)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-1285168792351334362017-01-29T10:10:13.099+00:002017-01-29T10:10:13.099+00:00Super post, the adventurous life of crafters in a ...Super post, the adventurous life of crafters in a nutshell!<br /><br /> Maarit at Violets Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06343390147829429839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-65683324648162250912017-01-28T20:17:41.287+00:002017-01-28T20:17:41.287+00:00Congratulations great auntie, what a little darlin...Congratulations great auntie, what a little darling, she looks gorgeous. Not too long to wait. Shame about the suncatchers, but at least you had a go and that one does look sparkly. Love the cow and calf. I love the way you “steal things”. I “collect” things, usually stuff I have legally borrowed from my daughter and then forgotten to give back. I tell her I am keeping her things safe for her so they won’t get lost! She gives me her signature look which involves the raising of one eyebrow and says “Don’t give me that load of old b******s. Daughters eh :-)Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502031456581056874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-56572182569758945102017-01-27T22:27:47.335+00:002017-01-27T22:27:47.335+00:00Fabulous post, Sarah.

I&#...Thank you Val, it looks better than it feels! I'm very envious of those with free access to Elmers, I don't know what it is that makes it different to the stuff we buy here but clearly it is superior in the suncatcher world. The stuff I used dried on my fingers too (I am NOT a tidy crafter!) and it is fun peeling it off. Mind you, we used to sew our finger tips together with a fine needle and thread in sewing classes at school - might have had something to do with growing up in the country and there not being much else to do for fun ... I will let you know about the Elmers but I suspect I will soon have moved on to the next crafting masterpiece :-)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-29913036195017938002017-01-25T05:13:08.059+00:002017-01-25T05:13:08.059+00:00That flaccid thing looks all right to me.

I had a bunch of it in my classroom that I left for the next teacher taking my room. It dries FAST in a thin layer. My sister the future ex-mayor's wife used to coat her fingers with it and peel it off for fun! Like a burn victim shedding her skin! Not that such a thing would be fun for a burn victim, of course. I hope you can get your hands on some.

In fact, I still have tow in my cupboard (because I'm scared of running out at Christmas and they keep FOREVER) - sounds like a fair swap to me.<br /><br />Could be anything to be honest Sarn and I can't promise it will look anything like it's supposed to be - I just jump on in there with no idea what I'm doing half the time. My flaccid suncatcher has now started curling up, it really is a HUGE disappointment to me! A bit of grog might help ;-) xxSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803854391640222787.post-70118210841081412262017-01-24T15:19:40.183+00:002017-01-24T15:19:40.183+00:00I cannot WAIT to see what you next snippet make wi...I cannot WAIT to see what you next snippet make will be!
