One room down..too many to go!

Nearly a week later & I've actually finished one room.....WOW, my workrate in the home decoration field won't get me any offers to join a decorating business...thank goodness :-)) In my defence, at the same time as doing all the other "little" jobs around the house like the washing, ironing, hoovering etc etc, I was also trying to work on a huge mini order in the evenings. I'm nothing if not a glutton for punishment! I'm delighted to say that I managed to finish that too...wonders will never cease & I thought I'd share one of the pieces with you...it took me 3 full nights to complete...sometimes I think I really am a total nutter!!




The request was for a basket of mixed gourds & I was really quite pleased with the end result!
Just as I was congratulating myself (always a FATAL error!!) on being able to relax a little now that the order was done, guess what? YEP, just as I returned from posting off the 1st order, there was another waiting for me in my email inbox! Back to the mini sweatshop for me!
