It's November already and only one more sleep til New York! Big Sis Pauline and Pauline S arrived yesterday afternoon all ready for flying out tomorrow - can't wait!
A few weeks ago had our monthly crafty meetup, and we worked on some candle holders I'd picked up at Ally Pally.

We used lots of different mediums - fresco finish paints, terra paste and stencils, gilding flakes, alcohol inks.

| Finished projects |
I love the look that the gilding flakes give, but they do get everywhere, we ended up with gilded fingers and Bibi even gilded her hair :)

I decided that I needed a new home for my Bigshot Pro, and bought a new desk. So now I have a great area for all my die-cutting and embossing.
Another couple of quick crafty bits - repurposed coffee jar, tried to do a faux mercury glass technique but can't find the krylon looking glass spray here, closest thing is humbrol metallic spray. Didn't turn out too bad I think.
And some customised boots:
