WOYWW - Butterflies, Bulbs and Bags!

This week I finally finished a project that has been in the 'idea' stage for a long time - it is on the windowsill right next to my work desk - hope that counts, as I'm linking up for WOYWW this week! 
 I fitted an antique light bulb into an old oak candlestick and attached vellum butterflies and moths to it with little glue dots.  Not my own original idea I'm afraid - there are thousands of art pieces combining light bulbs and moths around, and I know I've seen very similar to this on several occasions,  but I  am very pleased with the end result and would like to give credit where it's due to all those people who have given me the idea!


I also had a wonderful surprise today when Lunch Lady Jan sent me the most gorgeous tote bag in Union Jack fabric -isn't it just fabulous, and it's so beautifully made too - it was a swap for a print I sent her - I think I got the better deal! 
 A huge, huge THANK YOU Jan!  
 I think it's going to be for my knitting - it will look so smart taking my knitting and crochet around in it, although I'm also seeing it at the beach with our picnic in - although that might be wishful thinking because we had a few hours of sunshine at the weekend!
