A few more bits to look at!


Hello again and I'm back - I've not really had time to much as we've had visitors but I've still managed to dabble ..............
 The first is another canvas and easel on F1 theme - the first never reached its destination - this one went out in the post this morning and I am keeping everything crossed that it arrives this time LOL

This is my pride and joy at the moment - its an altered mirror - started at my friend Sue's and I wasn't too sure about it at all as I had gone with a fairly neutral tone and then stuck some bright green paint on and I do mean bright LOL. Then it sat on my mantle piece and I thought go for it so I did - it came out a lot better than I anticipated  and nearly got pinched by a certain young lady! The lace came from a lace swap I took part in ages ago - and I love it - just need Bill to put it up on the wall now!!

I am sorry about the quality of this photo but I had to share it with you, Tessa loves to send her ping pong balls under this cupboard and recently discovered she could get under there as well LOL

A great grandmother again!

Well here we are in August already - this year is flying past - or is that a sign of my old age LOL. Well I am entitled to feel old my grand daughter Leonie has just confirmed that she is expecting a daughter on the 18th December - she already has a son Cordell and yes all this really does make me feel old!

OK enough nattering and onto some of the bits I've been doing since being on here last:

 I joined a canvas and easel swap and the theme I was given was Formula 1 - totally outside my comfort zone - but I have done the best I could with a subject I know nothing about!

 
 This is my entry into an Art Journal I am doing - the theme was a bucket list and at the top of mine was to regain my slim figure - as I said in the journal - not much chance of that but I can dream!

This was a postcard I made for a mail art swap - for Cynthia - who like me loves Steampunk, so this was easy to do  - the hardest bit was to stop adding to it!

I saw this card and thought  - now that would make a lovely Christmas card and it has!

 Another nice and easy card - love the stamps on this one!

My July page for Chinese Whispers - love this photo of Tessa she looks like she is smiling  and she does love bling.

Not sure this picture does this card justice - it's a lovely little card and as it's one layer it will save on postage LOL. Well that's my lot for a now - must point out that these projects were done over a period of time as it takes me ages to achieve anything these days - thanks for looking!
