These tubes were from a set of shelves that I got from the sale at Mom's place a couple years ago. I had used the shelves for awhile then put them in the Put and Take. These 'legs' were left over.
I have a WHOLE LOT of odds and ends of pieces of strip wood...think I need to transfer most into the individual pieces.
I can (hopefully) sort the strip wood into the tubes.
The piece on the left was one that was in my "nautical" box...but it's not! It will fit perfectly in Joanne's bag lady back alley piece that she is re-doing.
On the right is the shopping bag that Tina gave all the older (in terms of membership) members tonight. The Toy Factory was a shop just off Whyte Avenue that was a miniature shop that most of us remembered.
Oh, my, love this! For several years now, Barb Striethorst has made a birthday gift for each MEE member. This is a ladyslipper in 1:12 scale. Both Barb R. and I received it for our March birthdays.
We all have UFOs (unfinished objects) and PhDs (Projects Half Done). But the new word for the days is:
SABLE (Stuff Accumulated Beyond Life Expectancy).
I love the word SABLE! Fits me perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI love the word SABLE! Fits me perfectly!
ReplyDeleteDiane,
DeleteOh, me too! SO much stuff - SO little time! No matter how long I live!

SABLE must be the most appropriate word to describe what accumulates when involved in a hobby of any sort...my husband says I couldn't use all my 'stuff' in several lifetimes! It's nice to know I am not alone in collecting things to have 'just in case it's needed'!
ReplyDelete"Just in caae" is SO true. But so often, I have looked back in my stash and found the perfect thing for the project I'm working on...and that's why we keep all these things in the stash.
DeleteAt least, that's what I tell myself. LOL
