Messy Work Table........

 my messy work table this week.......i lie,..... it's been like this for weeks.
there isn't much space left to actually do anything anymore........i've been collaging, painting, stitching,  cutting paper shapes & doilies & fabric by the ???.....i have lost count.....
 had to move the sewing machine out......big mistake apparently.......sewing machine not happy......threads tangling......breaking........so no stitching, (am i allowed to swear on the blog?)
no sewing machine.......is like having a hand cut off to me.
so i returned to the messy table & redecorated this old blue cane basket with a bit of paint, wrapped a strip of cheesecloth around the handle, stuck some paper doilies on the inside, tied on a  hessian bow, three cardboard birds tied with string, & a* hand stitched* heart from cheesecloth, & three white buttons.

after half a day of trying to fix cantankerous sewing machine, (this is not the first time it has been a b***h), i give up........i'm going shopping for a new one!
