Daisy Bracelet/Handmade Monday

It has been a kind of up and down weekend for me - in a way literally! Continued with the ceiling painting and have almost finished the second coat - ran out of paint and unfortunately ran out after Wicks was closed.  Didn't want to get paint from somewhere else just in case it is a slightly different colour (even though I am painting the ceiling a magnolia colour not sure if different places have a slightly different shade) so will need to get more today.

Also, Saturday morning found a leak on one of the pipes in the bathroom - a really awkward (isn't it always) one behind the toilet so have been emptying this little bowl which is collecting the drip all weekend.  Unfortunately where the leak is I can only fit a shallow bowl so am a bit dreading going to work and having to leave it till I come home tonight - it will definitely overflow.  But there really isn't a lot I can do - I don't have enough time a lunch time to cycle home and back so will just have to leave it till 5.30pm.  The plumber is coming tonight (fingers crossed) and I'm hoping that's the only tradesman I'll need!

Saturday morning I helped out my friend who has a kilt shop - this was really good fun and interesting learning how to measure for kilt size. There are lots of tartans to learn - they have 65 of them in the shop!

I haven't got a lot of makes this week - been working on things but this bracelet is really the only completed item:


This is what it looks like on - very spring like I think - having said that, the forecast is for snow today! (Can't believe it after the lovely spring weather we have had over the last 2 weeks.)


Anyway, better go and check the 'drip' then get ready for work.

Pop over to 1st Unique Gifts to see what everyone else has been up to this week - and have a great week and a good holiday weekend.  We have Friday and Monday off so will be a nice break.
