I started collecting wine corks a little while ago. For no particular reason. Then I decided I could make something out of them. Right now I have them in an over-sized margarita glass. They are fun to take photos of!
Having spent 4 hours in the emergency room last night with Dick, I am grateful that we have health insurance. It all started with a phone call from Dick saying he had fallen off his bicycle on his way home from work, and would I come and collect him as he was a 'bit banged up'? I rushed there and the first thing I saw was that I could hardly see his eyes- he was having a severe allergic reaction to something that was manifesting itself in his sinuses. All he could remember was having a huge sneezing fit after he 'woke up' having fell off his bike. 'Woke up'?? He couldn't remember hitting his head, although the scrape on the right side of his forehead showed he'd definitely banged his head. His first concern, naturally, was that the bike and his laptop were ok. However, we did not hang around to check them over, we just loaded them into the car- after he taken an anti-histamine that I always keep in my bag. For Dick to say he is hurting is unusual enough,...

I've no idea how you found my blog, but it's great to hear from you :-)
Corks- I saw a really good door wreath made from corks once...??
I'm told they make good pot stands too.. how creative are you?

I've been thinking of looking for a shadow box and gluing them into it to make a "cork board" for the kitchen to post notes on. I'm not sure how well that would work, though.
I doubt if I'm crafty enough to make a pot stand, but if you find plans post a link. :-)
I may be overthinking this subject, though. :-)
