Week 13

It hardly seems possible that one quarter of this year has gone! but at last it feels like spring. The garden is coming to life with some beautiful warm sunny days at the beginning of the week.
I made a couple of cards; the first for simply ages. I wanted one for my 150th blog post, which will be in the next couple of weeks.
On Sunday we went to Hazels wedding, it was a lovely day, warm, sunny, very relaxed and happy despite it being ‘a work do’. My colleague & I both wore turquoise!
I am having so much fun with Photoshop at the moment. I made the rainbow for the beautiful double daffodils that Paul bought.
Project 64’s colour is ‘spring green’ this week, I took lots of pictures for it but I liked the cucumber shot, probably because it wasn’t a plant which all the others were!
Ben is in Helsinki with his girlfriend, there is still snow on the ground but he is loving the temperature of a warm(ish) 1 degree! He sent me a photo of his coffee and much loved cinnamon bun! as well as the picture I am using for this.
We are looking forward to seeing him on Sunday morning, and he is looking forward to my roast dinner for mothers day!!! Boys and their stomachs.
1st April brought a beautiful blue sky and a very witty newsletter that Paul wrote about Greyhounds which will go into the book planned for this project. I am not sure that it will find its way onto the blog though.

I am still loving taking a picture every day for this project, I am posting the daily pictures on to Flickr but I am pleased now that I made it a weekly page for the blog.
How are you getting on with yours?

Week 12

19th-22nd March. I was so pleased to be back home. Oh gosh, what a day it was yesterday! It was just too sad to write about.
When we got back from our family day, a lovely bunch of tulips was waiting on the back door step for us.
Thank you K, you are lovely x
I saw these gorgeous daffodils when I went to collect Pepsi from the kennels. The picture of the gulls soaring on a thermal is for Skywatch this week.
I saw a tutorial on the internet for these japanese dolls but couldn’t find my handmade paper so I tried with what I had to hand. I hope I can find it again! (tutorial and paper). The dolls are quick and easy to do and look lovely standing in my pencil pot
The packet of Polos brought back a lovely childhood memory. I wrote it down for Sian’s Story telling Sunday on 4th April.
We have had some beautiful weather this week the cherry blossom looks fabulous in a clear bright blue sky.
Project 64’s colour is Tickle me Pink, the hyacinth is in the garden.

Thank you to Alexa for the LO

There is much to learn

I was reading some posts on Shimelle’s forum last week (prompt 2 discussion public or private) about accessing posts.
Any way I was wondering how does that happen, why do you publish a post and then take it down? so naive about some things I am!!
The next day I logged on in the morning and saw a post that I didn’t want published yet! how did that happen?
Shimelles reply said “Usually it’s a post that someone wrote and meant to publish at a certain time in the future…. Occasionally it’s because the blogger had a change of heart and deleted the post for whatever reason.
Well now I know, thanks Shimelle.
I though for ages, about taking it down. And while I was worrying and procrastinating about it someone was kind enough to post a comment. So, I left it there, but decided to re work the page/s over the weekend. So, here are the new pages that I am happy with.

So, it happens because it does, this is not a test, or an exam, this is just for fun, R&R and a record of my days good and bad including the rubbish! Mel says sometimes she over thinks things, she is not the only one:)

Prompt 5

Post Photos
I made a thank you card for my sister-in-law yesterday & thought I would post 5 pictures of some cards I made. Some times I don’t make any for months and then have a little rush on them. I also made a LO for this prompt. I wanted to play.
I have caught up with the prompts at last and had a lovely time on Sunday morning visiting some new blogs.


These were for my work collegues, and looked really pretty irl. I am not sure that my photo does them justice. There is a pocket on the front of the kite which held a gift voucher.


This was for another sister-in-law and was beautiful. It was the first time I had used some craft wire for anything other than a flower. The wings were shaped craft wire covered in fine hand made paper and the body was the wire wound around a paintbrush handle.


This was for a special lady that I worked with. She loved anything Japanese. The Kimono was made with some silk stuck to some card before cutting the shape. (I remember it frayed terribly!) She was thrilled with it.


This was for a brother who loves cake! It is made with short lengths of ribbon and fabric, the candle is the end of the shoe lace that runs along the side of the card. I made a few of these using craft paper and tiny lengths of plastic coated wire for the candles.


Thank you for remembering my birthday cards.

And the result from playtime this morning.
