More Sweet Violets freebie parts

Hello :)
Hope you're all having a nice weekend. I only get one free weekend per month and this is it :) So I have been mega busy. Plus I spent time outside gardening to make the most of the sun, jumped on a train for a shopping trip in Norwich and ...and...and..

Here some pics of ongoing creativity 😛

Simple cheap glass bottles look so much better with some Macramé !
This large Macramé Wall hanging has found a nice place in my bedroom . The largest one I made so far and I think it looks fantastic !
And when you have leftover yarn it's the perfect opportunity to make another Macramé bag . :)
I had it with unhealthy spongy bread full of additives. So I made my own sourdough starter and the bread from it turned out yummy. No yeast needed. The natural yeast cultures from the sourdough starter are not only healthier and better to digest , but the bread with it tastes so much better.
All you need is organic flour and water to make your own starter.

Next week I will be painting and wallpapering my hallway. When we had a new electric fuse box built in , and a new intercom set , the wallpaper and paint got damaged . As I don't like patchwork the whole lot will have to be done. And I have plans for some wall decorations ...made by Snowy , of course :)

But now to the download links.

More papers and elements for you

Ooops... late with the new freebie kit :)

Hi :)
I was convinced today was the 2 week posting day …. so I opened my blog and was shocked to see it has actually been 3 weeks instead. Where has the time gone? These weeks just seem to have flown by ! Sorry for being late again. "Sigh" ...a full time job , household, lots of hobbies and the time is just gone. I need to retire :) (I wish) so I have more time for all the things I want to do. 16 more years to work , unless I win the Lottery or an unknown rich uncle leaves me a fortune in his will :)

Anyway, let me show you what has kept me occupied in my free time.
I got out some wool and wove this wall hanging.
Then I got to work on this Macramé Tree of Life .
And lastly I finished this Macramé bag ,which has an inner bag so small items don't slip through the gaps.

And I already have a new project on the go. Have you heard about the Pine resin/beeswax  sandwich wraps?
Well, I try to do my bit to keep plastic to a minimum, and these wraps sound like a great alternative to sandwich bags. But it's a sticky task. They make it look so easy and clean in the videos, but my hands and nails are full of the stuff. Yeah, I tried gloves. The wraps kept sticking to the rubber so I gave up on clean fingers 😁
Here is one of the videos showing how to do it. Some use only beeswax , but adding some pine resin improves the wraps. Also, melting the mix in a little pot first and brushing it on works a lot better.
Okay, after the education it's time for the freebie now. 
I found an older floral kit which seemed perfect for his time of year. It's called "Sweet Violets".
There are 5 parts all together and I will give you the first 2 today . 


Enjoy ! And now I'm going to clean up my kitchen and check on those wraps 😀
Till next post , stay creative 
Hugs Snowy
