As I am not really healthy, I stay home most of the day. Lately, my doctor ordered me to meet more people and do something with my hands.
I looked around for a while. Then I discovered a hobby-club in a village nearby. Last monday, I made my first project: a decorated egg! Well, it is much larger than an egg, lol. It is about 1/2 meter high. First we decorated the upper part: with used tires!! Then we covered the rest and decorated it. Afyter 3 hours of hard labour ( :p ;) ), this is the result! Of course, my back is killing me now, but it was worth it!

What a great craft!

I can't believe that weaving at the top is used tires! That looks so cool! Did you do the weaving part too?

Is that a live plant on there too? Look live! :D

Cat condom beds are the round beds with a rim around them:) That is what we call them in Cat General. Also called carpet condoms. Sorry for the confusion!! I have sent Lut some fabric to sew some of the beds - that is what I was talking about:D :D
