I thought I had lost the plot...


Now, as anyone who knows me knows, I don't do commissions - people ask the most impossible things of you -so when I found myself agreeing to do this canvas for the lady front left of this photograph I wondered if I had lost the plot. However, the man with her mentioned that it was a present for a friend who was moving permanently back to Switzerland and as I knew an-ex very near neighbour of ours was doing just that I looked again at the photo and there was Heidi - lady in black 2nd right. So that's OK then. I have also made a card in matching colours for them all to sign.
By the way, the wording says a memory.

So that was my morning - what was yours like?

Today's class was this card...pity the photo doesn't show up the Stickles or sheen...



Q, Mu, Inga


Yesterday the weather was dreadful - it rained heavily all day - it's my own fault for showing you me having lunch in the garden on Wednesday!!! they say it can jump up and bite you on the bum if you're not careful and it looks like it just did!...so after work I snuggled up on the sofa and started my new journal...yes another one... this one is alpha doodling...






The wind has been positively arctic today - down to 6 degrees from 18 on Wednesday - severe drop - there is even snow on the top of Montgo a national park mountain near home.


and lastly here's my 365 challenge calendar up to date...


so I am off to make my hot choccy drink

Bye for now

the bakers dozen


On Wednesday I did a workshop making cards to cover any number of occasions we all come across during the course of a year - wedding, happy birthday, sympathy, etc and so we made cards. Some were what I call quick lick n stick and others were more involved using techniques including brayering, Distress inking over stamping and doodling. I cracked the whip and pushed and pushed and these were the results - happy ladies. I told them we were making 12 but there were 13 if you count!!ha!ha



The ladies were pictured on Wednesday with my out of focus camera??? so today I borrowed Colin's to take a photo of the samples. Out of focus or not there was lots of laughter and smiles


Muriel did manage to make most of them even though she is only displaying three and she even came to class this morning.



Chrissie popped in with some Weight Watchers magazines to try to kick start my efforts at losing weight. Think she's fighting a losing battle with me there but we can but try! Got to list all I eat and drink - she reckons I'm not eating enough - he!he! that sounds good to me!
The sun is shining, the sky is blue and I've finished work for the day - big smile - so I'm off to play some for myself now.
Bye Sue x
