Crafty weekend

I spent the weekend at the Paper Artsy/LB Crafts weekend at Milton Keynes.  What a fantastic time we had!  Leandra and Lin are the most expert teachers, and we had a go at some fabulous techniques.  I am only allowed to show you ‘sneaky peeks’ as they are running the same course next weekend, adn don’t want to spoil the suprise!  So here they are:

Just about finishing organising my craft/dining room with the help of Organise101 course over at www.simplify101.com.  Here’s a sneaky peek!  I am intending to do a longer post on my other blog.

I rarely buy sweets, but I made an exception today!  I am going to the Paperartsy/LB Crafts retreat in Milton Keynes this weekend with my good friends, Burnice and Lesley.  I decided we might need some midnight snacks…. so-  Burn and Lesley, this picture is for you!

A very early morning picture of Worthing seafront (7.30am) on my dog walk.  It was lovely and sunny but a bit chilly!

Looking in my garden this afternoon for autumn colour, I came across these berries on the Iris Foetidus.  They are usually bright red, but these are orange.

October 10th

I have been sorting out the big cupboard in Lucy’s room, and we came across a big bag of cards she had made for Nanny and Grandad, and some sewing stuff she did when she was 10 and 11.

 

I think this first one was a Blue Peter make!

More Christmas, the white one was a computer generated one, and the red one was a birthday card for my Mum.

Look at this sewing!  The angel is somehow felted in the background (iyswim) Lucy has sewn on her hair, and has embellished the castle.  Isn’t it wonderful?

This one has been dyed all different colurs, then machine embroidered!

Aren’t they fab?  Shame Lucy doesn’t do any of it anymore.  It was a lovely little class she went to on a Saturday morning.  The lady who ran it was fantastic with all these wonderful ideas.
