Background....

 Here are a couple of backgrounds I did after watching Dy's (Art from the Heart) video on faux bleach backgrounds....I think thats what its called!

I think I will have to play around with the stencils/inks to get the effect needed - but I'm quite pleased with these and am using them cut up for backgrounds.  Thinking about it, the quality of paper used has a lot to do with how well it turns out.  Ciao

Too much....

Well yet another negative start to the day, the OH hasn't got either of the 2 jobs he went for.  One company has now decided that its not going ahead with the post...OH had 2 interviews for that particular position and you dont get expenses any more!!!!  There is still a chance for another job, so fingers crossed.

Trouble is I'm exhausted by it all.  I'm trying to get a business started for myself, I've had a positive response from a local business for some marketing ideas, which I have to design etc.  I'm trying other avenues as well, but with OH without work its hard to focus on what I want, when I have to support OH, fill more forms to get money from the State to live on (none at moment!) and keep the house is some sort of order.  We still haven't finished sorting out our moving stuff, I need a car and it worries me that if we can't get a positive outlook very soon, we will have to move.  That I couldn't cope with.

I like living here, loving looking at the garden as I type this, Mollie (our dog) has lots of doggie friends, I belong to a couple of groups and have made many friends.  I am trying to keep so positive, doing self help courses, reading positive stuff, doing e-business course.  But I am SO TIRED..... sometimes I wished I drank alcohol, got drunk and slept for a few days.  Thats not my way, but its so tempting!!!!

I surround myself with items I love, art that I create, to give me positive vibes and energy...... its a calming area but at present I'm don't feel calm just exhausted.  Ciao

Bright colours...... a different kind of post

Sitting here looking out of the window at the rain.....so I found this colourful picture from the Wynn hotel (entrance to shopping mall)when I was in Las Vegas in 2005.  Must say they serve great cocktails......

I've been reading a few 'self help' books recently which do help, can give you ideas where to go, what to do.  Common sense plays a great part in 'self help' I apparently have quite alot!!!   Some people don't believe in them, I just take what I want and build on that.  

I have so many ideas rattling around in my head, sometimes I have to get out of bed in the middle of the night and write it down, I'm sure that happens to many people.  Trouble is you cant sleep afterwards (well I can't).  I wish I had the energy now I had when I was soooo much younger, as they say youth is wasted on the young!!!   I was with a friend and neighbour this afternoon and she was saying the same thing.

I can't believe we are in June and that the longest day will be upon us soon and then......  the nights get shorter.  Got to make the most of getting in the garden (might try wearing a mac) and sit out, that's one of the reasons we chose this house - it's garden- but at this rate it will be rust I'll be covered in, not a sun tan!!!

I do have some projects on the go, which I must get finished, I've also put a creative proposition to a local shop, so I must go and see the owner.

Ciao

Angel anyone?????....

 Here is my latest creation.... an Angel.  A friend of mine has had an operation so instead of an card I made her a 'speedy recovery angel'.

 It is imbued with positive energy and designed to make you smile. 

Angel's can be customised for any occasion, I will be only to happy to make what your heart desires.  Please contact me via email.

She is a jointed Angel, so her arms and legs will move which makes her more interesting, perhaps she is a flying Angel!.........  Ciao

Anyone for tea?

 

Anyone for tea?  found this amazing cardboard teapot (which is actually a vase, it has a plastic holder in the middle) at a local shop in Hinckley called SwagBag.......its such a quirky object that I just had to buy it. I thought it very appropriate with it being the the Queen's Jubilee.  Ciao

Jubilee

Well its the Queens Jubilee this weekend, 60 years and what an amazing woman.  I wish everyone a great weekend, hope it brings all you desire.  Ciao

Hello, still here

Well yes I'm still alive and kicking - I have been making and creating even though not blogging.  I will post some photos later.

Life is fine, looking positive and I'm feeling great so cant ask for more.  Thanks for all the support out there, I do feel your kind vibes.  Ciao
