Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Back in Blighty, and coming back down to earth after a week in heaven. Thought I would get in the groove with a simple Border card. So here is a step-by-step for you, using the Groovi Starter Kit the very important Border Plates and the Meadowgrasses Plate Easy, relaxing and very, very pretty. Let’s get going…. Establish the border first, using the double-line on the borderplate. Top and Bottom. Add dots to the lower…
Hello. Sitting in the garden, listening to the cars flying past on the A26, writing to you. Back home. A long drive back to reality today. But I bring with me a head full of memories, To be wrapped in tissue and treasured. And one word captures our week: harmony. Sure there was laughter and even hilarity! And then there were deep, meaningful conversations. Hours of art and creativity, Lazy snoozes in the sun. Swimming Pool levity; The ducks joined…
Me again!Just wanted to put a smile on somebody’s face. And the luck winner of the £40 Gift Voucher Rollover is….. Rosalind McLellan! YAY!!!!!!!!!
Bonjour! Thanks for dropping in. This week’s blogging has been a little erratic, I know. Sorry, but I have been delighting in the moment. You know, when you really ought to be sensible and leave the party, but you’re having so much fun you think “Sod it”, and carry on dancing. I did do a project for you yesterday, so here it is today! It’s no masterpiece, but I really like the effect. Sam showed me. It’s really effective and easy….
Hi there! Sorry I am so late, but we just had THE FUNNIEST TIME! We did a Murder Mystery in the garden, all had to dress the part. Oh how we laughed!!! It was set in the 60’s and if I heard the word GROOVY once I heard it a hundred times! I was Kitty Killer, but I wasn’t the murderer! Take a look at this unsavoury bunch. Who do YOU think it was? Just a brief description will do…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! Will you forgive me if I don’t stay long? You see, our friends here in France, the people who own the heavenly place we are staying at, fired up their bread oven for us, and we all made fresh pizza and brioches in the garden this afternoon. Words fail me. It was and is magical. Their generosity of spirit and joie de vivre is unbelievable. Here’s my effort! They are out there singing and…
Hi there! Barbara is currently stuck without an internet connection, so she asked me switch on this Tuesday’s YouTube. Hope you like it! Enjoy. Jim x
Bonjour! Thanks for popping in today. Have had a great Monday here in Bretagne, hanging out in the garden. Spent a good portion of the morning peeling potatoes with Jayne, in readiness for my world famous potato salad (not!) Getting photo-bombed.. Meanwhile, the others were getting right into their Groovi Plates and Gelli Plates! So here is a Gelli background, which Kirsty and Sam rustled up between them, and then donated to the daily blog cause. Lovely. Can you see…
Hello there! Thanks for popping in. What a beautiful day we have been having here in our little retreat – a slice of heaven. I made a pact with myself before leaving England, that Sunday, today, was going to be a craft-free day. After the last couple of weeks, I decided to STOP. The others on the other hand, were all set to get creative as soon as the sun came up! Mel, illustrator par excellence, Sazz, getting right in…
Greetings from France! All landed safe and sound. Some flew in, Some went the long way round! A wonderful mix of Design Team and good friends, all set to have a superb week in one of the most beautiful places in the world. But off to bed I must! Doesn’t look that far to Bretagne on the map….Dover – Calais, but it’s a day away – especially via Dunkerque! Ask Dave! Lots of love Barb xxxx
