My son got a "make your own" wooden model of a drum
kit (he plays the drums btw) for Christmas. He did start making it eventually
but got quite dejected as it was very fiddly and difficult to construct, let
alone the instructions were just plans of the pieces with numbers on the
joints! I got sick of seeing it and tried to get him to finish it today but he
didn't join me so I did it all in the end. Quite enjoyed it really, gluing and
sticking is just my thing. 
Also finished off my mosaic coaster today, by gluing some
felt on the back.
Not sure I'll bother doing mosaics again, not really my
thing. But if I did I wouldn't just stick the cut tiles with PVA as it really
needed some sort of thicker glue to enable you to make the pieces level. My grout says it is the adhesive too, so that would have been the thing
to use really. Forgot to mention the central tile got turned somehow on its way home but I preferred it that way and left it diagonal.

Hi again BJ, I love the drum kit - hope your son appreciates the work you put in there. I think it is good to have a change from cardmaking every now and again ... the reason for the little decorated box I did recently was just that. I wanted a change :) Hugs, Elizabeth xx
Think I prefer the drum kit too.... well done for finishing the tile! Hope you enjoy next month more - but I guess now you know you don't really like mosaicing!
Gosh, this is very different for you isn't it! That drum kit does look fiddly but the sort of thing that you can get engrossed with isn't it? I remember making up that dinosaur years ago too haha!
Fabulous tiling, something I haven't done for years and probably won't return to either haha! x
LOVE the drums! Sue
Hi BJ,
Love the drum set!!! Your mosaic tile piece looks nice - I've never tried it so am glad to hear that I can probably cross that off my "try" list!
Peace,
Kay
