Wacky week!!!

Well, what a week - it has just flown by. Last time my friend, the lovely Tanya was here (at Easter) I tried to purloin her fabulous ring - I didn't succeed needless to say but she made me one - see below - and in the top photo where we are displaying the earrings she bought us both!!!



Tanya has been here on holiday from Belgium with her son Bart who is just such a thoroughly nice guy....BUT if you knew how long it took me to get this photo as he is camera-phobic!!! He has the patience of a saint with all our craft talk!!!




Every morning we have worked together in the shop - how excellent is that - a personal masterclass from Tanya - eat your heart out all you out there!!! We have had so many laughs despite the pain we are both experiencing and made several projects for workshops for later this year and early next year. How lucky am I and I have Tanya's permission to pass on all this knowledge so there is a choice of canvases, a couple of albums and a couple of mirrors so watch this space as the workshop photos will be on here.......SOON.



Back to the world of art y facts...

Monday girls...Dayana



and Louisa...



Tuesday morning saw Emma and Erica making alcohol inked boxes with Wendy Vecchi roses...



are they not just beautiful...




Wednesday evening the girls made photo frames with roses...







...but it's almost midnight Thursday and Tanya and Bart have gone to bed - they have a long three days ahead of them - tomorrow they leave for home too soon!!! hoping to catch up with Lisa Mitchell in Barcelona and then back to Belgium via France and Luxembourg. A long, long drive. Home sometime on Sunday.

It has been a fabulous week which we hope to recreate again very soon - we have made plans for me to go to Tanya's in February. Can't wait!!!

Well, thats up to date so...

Bye for now
