Journalling on Saturday.....

Journal class was on Saturday and not Sunday, which was confusing, anyway 2 great ladies full of fun were able to come along, BezzieSue and Sandra, so we could all catch up on what is going on in their busy lives. The lovely Pat brought along her Granddaughter Isobel, a lovely young lady extremely gifted in the art department (and many other ways I'm sure). It was also great to see Ann back with us, looking well. I brought a rhubarb & apple crumble to the party (with cream!) and actually managed to bring some back home so other half was lucky and actually had some for tea!

These are the 2 pages I managed to get started, needless to say more to do, never seem to finish a page, but who cares, its all about the doing...... Kate (the Kathryn Wheel) brought along some great Golden paints called Interference Colors (American spelling!!) and the girls loved using them... give a great sheen/highlight on the pages.. more crafting stuff to buy! Thanks to Dy.......
As I post this we still have no news on Lee's prospects, so still feeling sick. Ciao

Look what I got.....

After spending all day with me on Tuesday, my friend Suzyq came to play on Wednesday. She had never made an atc, so off we went and made some. The dinning room was soon covered in supplies, paper etc and what couldn't fit on the table went on the floor.... poor Mollie didn't know where to lie down! Suzyq did a fantastic job with her atc's, the atc in the top of the piccy is the one she gave me, all about dreams and imagination. The beautiful tag she made for me as a gift to say 'thank you' for what I'm not sure. Can it be for all the money she is now spending and the miles she is driving? ...... perhaps. I have put both pieces of art work on display in my craft room. I am blessed to have such great friends in the crafting world, some I will be seeing tomorrow at AFTH..... Ciao

WOYWW -

Here is what's on my WOYWW - from our workshop on Saturday with Victoria Stampers. We had a variety of blank shapes we could use then covered them in paper. My mask is still in the process of being created, with more eyelashes and lots of bling!
Had an amazing day yesterday in Sheffield with other crafty ladies..... again great company, amazing food and plenty of laughs, can't ask for more.
Lee has gone back for a 2nd interview today.... fingers crossed. Ciao

Bat those eyelashes.....

No these aren't for me, even though I did use to wear false eyelashes in another life! It was the Victoria Stampers workshop yesterday and these are going to be embellishments on the item I am making (keeping it a secret til its done)... as always had a fab day, lots of chat, fun and exchange of ideas... visited the charity shop and got some bits to craft with. My crafty friend Sueq was also there, she now has a blog so please go visit her as she is a talented and quirky lady. Ciao

Just got a mention on Paul O'Grady's radio show - fame at last!!!!:)

Bling... Butler & Wilson

Look what gorgeousness came through the letterbox.... Butler & Wilson bracelet. As you know I have a thing for skulls, so seeing this delectable item I had to have it... the skulls are enamelled, covered with crystals and the crosses have crystals sent in the shape. Its divine, to die for. Butler & Wilson make the most exquisite jewellery and are collectors items.
We now have leak in the kitchen from the bathroom... life is a joy!
Still awaiting news re Lee and job..... Ciao

She's leaving home........

She's leaving home...... Lucinda is going on a journey. A blog friend of mine decided that she wants to have Lucinda join her and her family on a narrow boat to keep them company. So Lucinda will be parcelled up and sent on to her new family next week to embark on new and wondrous adventures... It's a thrill for me that someone actually wants a piece of my 'art', life is certainly interesting for me at the moment. Thank you so much Alice........(please visit Fanciful Alice blog on my side bar)

No news yet on other half's interview, but no news is good news... & if they didn't want him we assume he would know by now...... fingers still crossed. Ciao

Another female form......

This is what I found in Dunelm and had to have it! Its great for displaying works, items, stuff that gives me pleasure.......
As I type this I have my crafty friend and fellow nutcase Suzq with me, we have had a marvellous day out at QVC outlet (yes we did buy) then did the pound shops and have just come back from Hobbycraft, oops no money! Suzq has been here trying her hand at shrink plastic and loving it. So there's another reason to spend money...... well who cares!!! The banks have plenty of money, don't they??? Ciao
