I wanted to show you ladies something that I just finished making. These are magnets done decoden style, reusing lids from water/soda bottles.
The picture's not the best, just took a quick one to show you ladies, I'll do better pics if I decide to list them on my shop (thinking I may give them as Christmas gifts to all of the women in my family/friends).
I didn't attach the magnets yet, they're almost as big as the lids! Lol, I may need to get smaller magnets. I got the strong ones because I can't stand when my magnets fall off the fridge.

They're really quick and easy to make too, only takes me about 5 minutes tops. The hard part is keeping them still while I fill them lol, those things are lightweight! I got one of these to use for turning while I'm piping out the stuff, so I'm going to stick the next lids to it with some tape to hold them still lol:

You know what happens to these when they get hot? Puff up like marshmallows! Lol, last night I had set them on top of the toaster oven and forgot they were there when I turned it on, and I found them a few minutes later puffed up with the larger jewels tilted at an angle. They did shrink back down when they cooled, and even shrank a little lower in the lids. Guess I'd better keep them off of the toaster oven... 
Here's an interesting project for the truly masochistical crafty person:

I wandered off for a bit, and got lost!
Finished, or mostly finished the bits for the dollhouse. I have done a wee hat, the stand for it is just made out of clay. The feathers are from a sparrow, that met a rather untimely end against one of the sun room windows, so they are very small. It's off to my flatmate in NZ for Christmas.
The dress on the form ( also made from clay) is made out of an old embroidered handkerchief, which belonged to my 81 year old MIL's MIL. Which got me to thinking, of a little something for my sister in law for Christmas.
The dress is for her, made out of her Grandmother's hanky. The spool of thread that I am using for a base, is made from an old spool of silk thread from the Grandmother's sewing box, which they have given to me. She had everything stamped with her name, so I have left that on the hanky and worked it into the underskirt.
The dress form is 5 and a half inches tall, so none of these things are very large. If I had been thinking I would have put down a coin for size, but then..lol...that would require thinking.
