As you may or may not know, I have been working my way through my first Rolife kit Miller’s Garden. It was all going well until one day I laid some items out to take photos of them and I sat down, leant over to one side putting my hand down for support and felt something crush under my hand.
I quickly jumped up to find I had crushed my wire table that painstakingly took me ages to shape nicely and finally glue together
I was so annoyed at myself that I took a break from my Rolife kit for a few days and went back to a few other hobbies where I had works in progress awaiting completion.
Then just the other day my front door went, I rushed down to find the postman standing with a sealed package sent from the Robotime community - it is my Emily’s Flower Shop set that I won just a couple of weeks ago in one of the weekly challenges
I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to win such amazing prizes here and to connect with so many likeminded people as none of my friends are particularly into crafting.
I can’t wait to start this kit which seems like it might be easier to piece together than the set I am currently working on - so it will good to make a comparison between the two.
This has given me the kick to get back to Miller’s Garden and not let my stupid mistakes get me down too much - so it’s time to fix that table and start working on a lot of flowers
Congratulations on winning that beautiful kit!
I have built the Miller’s garden and I totally understand how challenging it is. Hope you can still fix that pesky table! Or perhaps you can customize your own table?
You got this @Nic_Ozz !
Thankyou everyone and thankyou for your support regarding my crushed table
@Grey74 yes, I think it will be fixable but I’ll need to reshape at least one of the legs and then there’s one piece of wire that wraps round the 3 legs near the bottom of them, that was what I found most difficult to glue and get to stay in perfect position previously - so I’ll need to do that all over again
I only have myself to blame and it has definitely shown me that I need to be more aware of my surroundings
Congratulations on winning this amazing kit. From what I’ve seen Miller’s garden is a tough one. Hopefully you can fix the table. I struggle with both wire work and paper flowers
When I joined the community a lot of people said that about Miller’s Garden so you are definitely not alone - I’m definitely intrigued by all the flower work, I’m currently trying to find a pair of scissors I think will be up to the job, so far I’ve been using a craft knife but I think I might need something else to cut out all those leaves
Oh no, I can imagine how frustrating that must have been! But what a lovely surprise to receive Emily’s Flower Shop! Congratulations on the win, and I hope it gives you the motivation to get back to Miller’s Garden.
Congratulations on your win. I do have my eye on the flower shop.
I have done plenty of things just as silly as you crushing your table. Many times I forget something I have glues is not dry and I move it and it all falls apart or worse breaks and I have a repair job to do.
Haha when I first started it definitely took me a bit of time to get used to how long it would take for glue to dry and to not move on too quickly and end up having my “not sturdy yet” piece fall apart in my hands
@Nic_Ozz im so to read about what happened that would of frustrated me all your hard work … im glad your prize has given you a kick start and congratulations
Congratulations on your prize it’s inevitable that mistakes are made, I’ve accidentally squished a lot of my plants for a kit and they all broke. Hopefully you can fix it
tu as gagné quel concours ? j’ai aussi gagné un concours mais je ne trouve pas quel kit que j’ai gagné. Le numéro annoncé ne correspond à rien sur le site. J’ai hâte de le recevoir
