Ooops, been MIA!!

Sorry, definitely been busy for the last couple of weeks and my poor blog has paid the price.... also haven't been able to show you a couple of the things I have been working on... not till after the weekend anyways!!

These are a few of the ladies that have been doing my mini book workshop this week.

They all appear to have enjoyed themselves!!

Being very industrious... and a few have now found out just how much effort goes into a mini book! ;)

I have had company whilst I have been scrapping... and explaining to Pandora that the offcut paper box was not intended for her..... well... let's say it was a lost cause!!

Chris and I went to the Murjan Bazaar day and he bought me a coffee pot!!  Not just a little coffee pot either... this one is BIG!!  Its also a lamp.. wish I could figure out how to take pictures of it when it is alight as it look fab...but my camera doesn't appear to like doing this...

This is the best attempt.... the brasswork is all filigree and the light shines through the holes and makes the most gorgeous patterns on the walls and floor... it will look lovely in my dining room at home when I have decorated it Arabian style....  LOL

  2. I have a smaller version from Iran but mine is ceramic but still leave beautiful wall and ceiling patterns.
    Seems like you are keeping your ladies busy on the mini books.

  13. Uhm - looks more like a Pandora's box than a off cut box! :D

    Looks like all the ladies had fun making your pretty mini books! I LOVE that curly gate or whatever it is in front of the middle window - is that burglar proofing?

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment, it is truly appreciated - sort of confirms that it is more than my Mum and husband that read this thing! :)
