Hi there. Thanks for joining me. Great sense of achievement here today. Invited to the Palace? Nope Best Blog Award? Nope But I did clear not 1, not 2 but 3 baskets full of ironing! 24 shirts. I’ll write that again slowly… twenty-four shirts. AND 3 lots of kingsize bedding from Christmas! Scheisenhausen!!! That’s a lottashirtsnsheets! At one point, during a little coffee break, I was on the internet looking up Pfaff mangles, and we (Dave joined in the mangle…
Hi there. Greetings from Jersey, Day 3. We have been exploring the island today. Elisabeth Castle absolutely fabulous. We walked across to it at low tide, had a potted history of the island and the castle. Very, very interesting. And as soon as it started raining, Dave and I dived into the cinema and watched the new Bridget Jones film. Very, very good too. I do enjoy a pleasant, feel good movie, don’t you? But Saturday’s blog and time for…
Hi there! How has your day been? Mine is still going strong! I am up to my elbows in paint, and having a fine old time! 4 hours later: It all started with a brand new Polka Dot Stencil, which Jim designed and presented me with this evening on the way out of the door at 6. “There’s 24 spots!” he said, “brilliant for an advent calendar”. True. I will leave that one with you …. So this is it,…
Hi there! Tuesday evening and all is well. Been a very busy but productive day. Just a messy stencil blog, using the Sunflower stencil I designed for the Crowborough Retreats this year. So how do we arrive at this place? Start by picking an inky Gelli plate piece from your inky Gelli Plate stash! I used A5 Claritycard – the coated card. Same size. Good plan…. Time to put it through the mangle, or E-bosser, or Gran Calibur…. See? You…
Howdi! Thanks for dropping in. Well here’s where we say goodbye to San Francisco, – it’s been great fun spending time with Mark – and HELLO OPEN ROAD! First stop Yosemite. The weather is a bit ropey apparently, but hey! The last time I was in Yosemite, I was driving a 40ft RV along a cliff edge in a storm. Mark was not even a year old. I remember it well. In fact, what I remember most clearly was my dear…
And into the Craft room! Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Those pesky little menaces, Wurka and Hollick were up bright and early again this morning. This time they were trying to convince me at 5am that I hadn’t boiled enough spuds for today’s potato salad, and that the potatoes I had boiled were over-cooked and would just turn to mush. So uppy getty, send Davey to shoppy for more spudsy. Now we’ve got enough potato salady to feed a…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Advent Day No. 4 and it’s Thursday’s Blue Blog. So I thought I’d showcase Madonna and some fabulous embossing glitters. So off to the cupboard to find Madonna. Well God bless my daughter Grace, because last time she was home she organised my stencils into folders. Just take a look at this… At the front there are mini graphics of all the stencils in this particular folder, so I can flick straight to the…
