WOYWW 280

Cannot believe I have done so much posting since last week.  Well, more than usual.  As you no doubt know if you have looked I was working at Newark at weekend, starting off a Blog Hop and doing the Artful Times Challenge Post on Friday and trying to drum up support for the hop on Thursday.  And to think I go WOYWW to WOYWW most weeks.  Phew!

Once again I was demoing Brusho paints at Newark and here is what I did with all the little "bursts" that I showed to people.

I used them to cut flowers out when at my son's today

I think I must have used the blue palette more than anything else - had to stop demoing the black ones as we sold out of the individual pots.  The ferns are rubber stamped images using the new Dylusions pad with Brusho's.  Yep, Tracey discovered that as well as using the pad for reinkers it works with Brusho's - and it washes clean afterwards (or so it says - have yet to use my clean one).  The poppy print on the left is a piece of kitchen roll which I used to pop my stencil on after I had used the thickener. I think that will find it's way into my journal somehow.  Is that recycling?

NB The 'poppy' above was an accident.  I had used a stencil with the Brusho thickener and paints but as it was 'messy' I had to put it on a piece of kitchen roll before commencing to clean it.  This was the result.  I love it!

My desk looked like this earlier, but then I did a sweep to the left and spread my flowers out for the above picture

On the left just behind my Artisan you can see my purchases from Sunday.  I often spend most or all of my earnings on stash.  I bought an Acrylic Pad to use with the Brusho's, the Heartfelt Creations Sunflower Die and a rubber stamp, the fern stamp I had been using, and the Ink Spray Pad.

Can you see my new bag?  It's got a Finnabair design on it and I have a matching mug.  Think the bag will be my new one for CHA this time around.  At the side of it is my original tag sleeve from the blog hop, then there are my Adirondack pens, my tubs of thickener, collapsable water pot and my Brusho's.  Memory Box dies are at the back in the magnetic container.

I spent the last two days house sitting whilst my son and his partner had workmen in.  Four years ago they used some inheritance money to have a new bathroom done.  The original one was gutted and they had a damp proof course, the whole room tiled and new appliances put in.  Over the past few months the tiles have slowly started lifting, from the walls and the floor.

Another firm has come in and is putting it right and they cannot claim a thing.  The original builder is not accepting responsibility, the damp proof people do not issue guarantees unless you pay £58 for them and the builder has supposedly kept it and lost it.

They and I am gutted (as well as the bathroom at the moment).

Right, feel better for off-loading so now go and join in with WOYWW by visiting Julia.  You will enjoy yourselves to be sure.  Also it's not too late to join the blog hop here but it ends on Friday.
