Hobby and Craft Corner

Hi Eddie, Yes or anywhere else! Take care! I can’t believe it is only a week on Sunday until we go on holiday to Blue Dolphin!

Well guys, the hobby & craft thread is fading away, so I thought a few of my recent efforts are due, my 2 first try's at watercolour, and a duvet I decided to keep, on the little sofa, Sheila's love of gray isn't my thing.

love Eddie and Sheila xx 

Wow Eddie They all look amazing and the duvet wow, how long did that take you to make.  I must admit I do like Sheilas grey .

Awww thanks Lee2, the duvet is 5ft x 4 1/2ft, and as it was a simple pattern it took about 3 hours, but how can you like the grey, my friend, a little grey is lovely but not a whole room., maybe it's a woman thing lol.

Hi Eddie,  it must be a woman thing, my bedroom is grey .  I find it very relaxing.  Maybe I need one of your duvets to brighten it up.  I think you have a lot of talent.  I have just ordered a resin kit and want to have a go at making some coasters to start off with.  I still havent finished my rabbit picture.

You’ve got a very creative streak Eddie - that quilt is just lovely 

Partial to grey myself I have to admit but have orange cushions and throws as a compromise as my hubby said the room looked a bit boring…

Morning Lee2, I do have a spare duvet, and it's yours if you want it, and I was wondering about your bunny pic, I  know lots of us are looking forward to seeing it when it's done, and I will have a look info resin kits too, they sound like fun.

The car one is for a grandson, but the butterfly one, 4 1/2 by 4 1/2feet is yours if you'd like it.

Hi Lucy, your too kind my friend. but thank you, I  don't dislike grey, it just needs something colourful to get the most out of it, are they big fluffy orange cushions?

Good morning Eddie.  Your duvets are truly beautiful.  That is so kind of you.  I really was only joking I would never expect you to give me a duvet.  You really don't need to do that, but thank you so much xx  I got the resin kit yesterday but I have looked at instructions and I think I must watch some You tube tutorials as well.  I don't want to mess it up on the first go.  I want to make something to put in the cemetery near where I live.  My Mom and Dad died three years ago and the ashes are in South Africa.  I like walking in the cemetery it is so peaceful and relaxing.  I want to put something there so I can go and chat to them and not feel so far away.

Morning Lee2, I make my quilts to give away, so it would have been nice send you one, the offers there for a little time if you change your mind.

That's so beautiful what your going to do with the resin kit, do you have something in mind as to what that might be?, and it's always good to know what your doing before you start, you tube, is fab. I'm with you regarding cemeteries, all  my family are buried there, so go for a stroll and a chat whenever I can, though I believe our parents are always by our sides no matter how far away their final resting place is. I know whatever you make will be very personal, but if it's ok, I would love to see it. Here's what a few of us have been making at the hospice.
