About Miriam Rogers

Hi, I have been married to Paul for what seems like forever & that's the way I want it to stay. We have a son, now 21 and a Greyhound who is bonkers. I play with paper and glue, I love flowers! and anything that I can hang from anywhere with ribbon. If you need me I can be found in the garden with my camera or in my craft room, come in through the gate, I'll make you a coffee or if it's after 6 you can join me in a glass or wine, or e-mail me. Housework is low on my 'to do' list.

Something…

…old and noisy and wonderful

Bringing back memories of childhood, standing on the bridge into town waiting to get caught up in the steam and being scared out of our wits at the sound of the whistle drowning out our screams and laughter.
The Duke of Gloucester was pulling an extremely long train of carriages on Sunday as he pulled into our station. He was there for only five minutes but that was enough time to take loads of pictures!

The old steam train came into town and he blew, he blew.
The old steam train came into town and he blew, he blew.
The Duke of Gloucester came thundering in, we we all there
to wave to him and he blew, blew, blew, blew blew!

Sorry! Well, I couldn’t resist. I have been singing this for days on end!

LO and paper is Katie Pertiet’s at Designer Digitals.

Something….

Wonderful.


I was over at Amy’s place earlier today, looking at her post of the tiger made of paper which is just fantastic. Amy asked if we had seen anything special made of paper. Many moons ago I had an email from a friend showing some fabulous entries into an art exhibition. The entries had to use just one sheet of paper.
Have a look at this site. It is truly amazing.

Texture Tuesday 23rd August

Kim Klassen’s Texture Tuesday

Last weeks theme was Movie Titles.
This is The Beach (Leonardo DiCaprio). Actually it is my local beach, Sand Bay and the closest our beaches have been to a celebrity is Keira Knightly at Clevedon! Hey ho. I didn’t see this film, I was taken in by bad reviews! Have you seen it? What did you think of it? I have been playing in photoshop and tried something different with textures.

The Beach

My Beach has Kim Klassen’s sepia scratched and plaster 2 textures on and one called Blue Sky but I’m not sure who’s texture that is…sorry. If you know, let me know?
