It's a small 90x90 canvas tarp. I'll use it for putting up ridgelines too.

A mess... let me explain..
We seldom use our front door which is situated (offset) within a 6'x3' 'vestibule'. This area has of late become a dumping ground for all my tools, decorating stuff, odds n sods etc (leaving access to the door for emergency purposes of course).
I've decided to turn the 3'x3' portion into a work/craft area into which I can fit my jewellers bench, a stool, and shelving above to hold some of my most required tools and one or two other bits such as my meat grinder, sausage stuffer, bacon slicer etc. So everything has been pulled out and stacked none too neatly in the living room while I
A: Give the area a good clean
B: Decorate it
C: Build the shelving (out of some lovely reclaimed oak flooring)
D: Decide what's going on the shelving and which can go upstairs into the loft.
The house currently looks like a bombs hit it, oh well, should be back to normal by next weekend hopefully

I was curious about this kolrosing that @Wayland mentioned in another post, so I thought I'd test it out on a bit of antler.
It was only a very quick test, so not a particularly inspiring design, just wanted to see how it works. When I get more time, I'll try something a bit more involved.
On a side note, the smell of cinnamon and beeswax together is pretty good.

Looks pretty authentic to me. It suits it.
Finaly got the new raised bed 99% finished. Just need topsoil, and trim the corner stogs, and I'm ready for more planting.
I repaired the lid on one of the compost bins, using an old pine board that had probably hanging around since before we bought the house.
Tomorrow I'll make a completely new lid for the second compost bin, but for that I want to buy new wood and strap hinges. The new lid will be much better than the original.

Oh thats good. Its simple but somehow looks authentic to me.
Whole load of silly antler bits hanging around at work...keep on meaning to make toggles/buttons with them.
Made a herb pot for my friend jenny, parsley sage rosemary and thyme, just need to add chives, which i cant get untill wednesday, and that's finished. Also planted a tumbling Tom in a spare hanging basket, and a pot of mint for her. She's just had spinal surgery so gardening is out for a while, but a few pots will brighten up her front door.
Much more useful than a bunch of flowers.
Only managed to get one bag of topsoil, so the big bed is only half ready for planting up. Was hoping to get it totaly finished this weekend. Oh well.

After a long and hot week, found some time to sit on the decking and whittle a little whistle out of a piece of birch. It's got a nice tone.
