Spools... Spectacular!

I did warn you....

i did say, i would spend the evening winding bits of ribbon onto spools, like little Bobbins.

You thought i was being all whimsical and that i actually had a secret life of Boys n Booze outside of this blog...

(well the Booze bit is true - guffaw)

I

 They are delightful! Just look at the wee cuties.

There is so much satisfaction looking at a bowl of these pretties.

I don't even feel the need to apologise for my silliness.

Pretty is just pretty - and that is that.

MrsB - imagine using these on long wire stems and popping them into bouquets? How cool would that be? and perhaps a few wire stems with buttons on too...?? Flowers and Haberdashery!!! what fun!

 And i have stuck Buttons on some of them - of course *rolls eyes - why would i own anything that didn't have a button whacked on it somewhere* tsk (pity my poor daughter who will grow up with a phobia of buttons - you've seen the film Coraline, right?)

 Anyhow - i might paint some of them too and pop a red top on and make it into a Toadstool...

I am thinking i could use these on a long necklace - just large enough to be seen but not too big as to look like an 80s RapStar throwback...

AND, ooh oooh, i am going to pop some in my Printer display tray....

Anyway....

This morning i burnt my toe.

I was making Granola and it is baked on huge tray in a low oven for ages - and then i have to turn it over halfway to get an even browning - and a fat piece pinged off the tray and fell into a hole in my slipper! and i couldn't get it out quick enough....

The moral of today is 1. don't laze in bed till 9am

2. my life is one long Benny Hill sketch - they should put cameras in my house - move over TOWIE

a new reality TV loser star, is born.
