Its been a whole week

Well this has been a week. I had a lovely relaxing break in Donegal. I even saw some sunshine.

Then we had the flood in the utility room

Then a tummy bug hit the smallest family member and her mum.

Consequently my mini world has taken a back seat. But last night I did manage at last to finish my little dishes for The Boathouse. I was happy how thy turned out. The lids on the casserole dishes are buttons painted in to match.

I also made a little canister from a taller lid but I think I want to add a label to it as it is too plain.

Now I am on a saucepan roll I started to paint the pans I got with a cooker I bught on ebay. I want these ones to be for main Street so  I am painting with pastel colours. I finally found the right colour nail varnish to use. The reason I have two is that they were buy one get one half price in Boots. It was ony after I got them home I noticed that they were scented. One smells of Apple and the other of banana yes even when dry - and of course you shouldn't sniff nail varnish wet - not sure who thought these were a good idea - dangerous for children I would have thought. But absolutely yummy colours.

The little pans are difficult to get covered so they are a work in progress but here's how they are so far. My mother had a yellow enamel pan just like the ones here with a black ring round the rim - may try that when I get that far along with them.
