What a busy day Sunday was, I set about my workshop and boy did I make headway. I sorted though all of my stash, stocks and tools, and I mean everything! I found tools I'd forgotten I had, I found stock I'd forgotten I'd bought and so much stash that I wondered where my mind was when I decided to keep it ;-) ??!! It paid off as the workshop is now organised and tidy.
All stash and stocks were sorted through and put in zip-lock bags and then put in storage baskets so even the inside of cupboards are tidy and best of all I know where everything is and can locate immediately. I have 2 tool boxes, a metal one under my work table, the lid has never shut, it does now and a plastic, craft type one on my work table, the lid has never shut, it does now! so all in all it was a productive day.
On the mini front, with the little time I've had the past two days , I've been making mice. A couple of years ago I bought some mice on traps that were really cute. I long ago did away with the traps and made my own as they were too big but I love the mice. I have tried to buy the mice on their own but nobody seems to do them and it seems a waste to buy them and dis guard the traps so I decided to make my own. I chopped the head off and made a mould from Milliput putty, which is a 2 part compound that, as the name suggests, mixes to a putty but then air dries to a rock hard substance, so now, with Fimo, I can make a two part mouse, well three part really as the tails have to be made separately as they don't need baking as long as the bodies, or they'll burn.
I won't show you the back of them as they are a bit misshapen but they will only be seen in a scene from the front so it's OK and it will save me money by not having to buy them (Scrooge, he he)
See you later....
You must have been feeling very smug by the time you'd finished all that sorting. I DO envy you your hobby room. It all looks very efficient.
