Tuesday's Table

I finished preparing the printer's tray that I started yesterday.

It's all ready now to provide a home for tiny bits and bobs.

I cut many many rectangles out of paper, fabric, magazines, and various ephemera,

then glued them in. (I couldn't resist including one of our business cards.) It was fun moving the bits around, like laying out a tiny quilt.

I've already gathered a handful of my favorite tiny objects.

They'll be moving into their new digs shortly.

Adding to my Little Things collection over the next few weeks/months will keep me amused on my days off.

Also on the table,

yesterday blanks have become today's ready-to-paints.

Identities have been assigned, pencil lines drawn,

and they've officially been added to The List.

 

Now they await paint.

Distracting me from the task at hand are the perpetual Trick-or-Treaters.

They even got sweet Alice in on their game.

Give a doll a mask and all of a sudden they think it's your job to provide them with an endless supply of candy corn, fun-size chocolates, and Bit-O-Honeys. And if there are no more treats to dole out, the tricks are sure to come. Luckily, the pranks are pretty lame. They did manage (by standing on one another's shoulder's) to reach my bed, but they had no rubber snake to put in it and instead left a wayward piece of black embroidery floss. Needless to say, I was less than frightened. They were mildly successful in TP'ing the studio, but their attention spans are as short as they are. There was only a tiny bit of paper left on the roll they found, and they didn't look very hard for more. The overall effect was unimpressive.
