morning ladies 
The rain clouds are looming...
Nail polish! What a brilliant idea! I would never have thought of that And as Lilith says, there are some gorgeous polish colours now. I love the blues and yellows 
I think people think you can just magically make a book appear without realising the work that goes into one, Lilith. Or maybe they think you need something to do lol. MrK often has friends suggesting things for him to do. He becomes quite frustrated with it.
Today I am taking our friend for one of his monthly hospital appointments which means a trip to Hamilton. That's the day pretty much done by the time we get through traffic and so on.
MrK has almost finished the first of two jewelry boxes a friend asked him to make. One is for her granddaughter and the other for herself. It's gorgeous, made out of an old mahogany bed headboard with some thin slices of a paler timber spliced in as a design around the edges. He has the tray to make and I'll buy some stiff black felt from Spotlight when in Hamilton to line it. Then it's a French polish and it's good to go
No stumpwork for me yet, I'm working on the quilt top for our daughter's quilt. The lace basted onto satin is more stable than I thought it was going to be, but heaven help me if I need to unpick it lol.
Happy crafting
