Oh my, I have had such a busy day today. After our early morning walk this morning I had a cuppa with my friend. Marian had a metal jug that she no longer wanted so offered it to me. She told me that it isn't waterproof so will need a jam jar inside if I want to use fresh flowers. When I got home I gave it a lick of undercoat before I decoupaged it with a paper napkin. The metal flower isn't as noticeable as the photo implies but if it really bothers me I will cut a large daisy to cover the raised metal flower and finish it off with a pretty button.
Yesterday on my way home from work I called into the butchers and bought a few different varieties of meat. We had liver and onions with home made oven chips for tea so Tony was a happy bunny. Another thing I bought was a pound of steak mince. Like most of us, I can stretch mince a very long way and while the jug was drying, I set to and made a moussaka and a cottage pie. Each will serve six people so there are plenty of portions for the freezer. I am having a cup of tea and a sit for half hour before I get on with my Leslie Sansone workout.
I've got a pretty metal jug I bought as a flower vase, but then found it isn't watertight....what a good idea to put a jam jar inside! Thank you, Cherie's friend, why didn't I think of that?! The upcycled jug looks lovely.
