Today has been one of those mad days. We usually go shopping on a tuesday morning, today being no exception. Except for the fact I needed to do some bits in town as well. So rather than leaving food in the car and then doing town we did town first. Makes sense right??? Well you would think so but it seems the world and his wife were in town and the supermarkets all at the same time.
We usually get to the supermarkets just after 9am once we have dropped the kids off at school and the shops are very quiet and we get really quickly. But today with going into town first which was really busy we didn't get to the supermarkets until nearly 12. And it was heaving, you couldn't move down half the ailses and people were pushing and shoving! I'm NOT doing groceries this late again!
Well after finally getting the shopping and lunch and getting home there wasn't much time left before getting my boys from school so I hav done a very easy pin for today - the instructions for how to use FIMO Modelling Clay. I have bought a white sparkly pack of it that I am going to turn into 2 unicorn horns to go in jars to be added to my witches potion shelf for halloween.I have even found instructions on how to make them from air drying clay, so it wont be much different for the oven baked clay which FIMO is.
I remember when I was little me and Mum had loads of FIMO and I was always making things, beads and animals and things for in my dolls house. I didn't know it was stilll made until I was looking for clay to make the horns from. Then to the madness of it I asked my friend if she had used it and could tell me how long to bake it for as it came with no instructions...... see bottom left of picture! DUH. LOL! I didn't even see it on there until she asked me for a picture of what "Type" I had bought, as they vary slightly. Never mind.
I also bought a book in the charity shop for 99p to start making my old spell book from. I did look in the old/secondhand bookshop in town and he had some LOVELY really old leath bound books which would have been ideal, the only downside was the price of the £6.50 for an A5 and upto £50 an almost A3 size. They would have been great but I can't justify the cost of it for use of a few hours 1 night a year. Watch this space for the advancement of the spell book.
