Well, what glorious weather we experienced at the beginning of September (up north where we do not normally get as good weather as people down south).
Let me begin by saying "Welcome" to my new follower 'MC Inspirations' - I have not a clue who it is so cannot go and look at his/her blog so if I get a 'shout out' I will pop along. Thanks!
Well, finally back at home - and with a bit of a tan from the sunshine - I really enjoyed myself just lounging around and I slept like crazy. I did a bit of crafting in the evenings but not as much as I intended. If only it had rained! I did take quite a bit of crafting stuff so there was the opportunity to do lots of different things. This was the single bed with my craft stuff piled on it
and the coffee table with a bit more on. As you can see I was working with my Janet Klein figures which were already cut out and coloured. The pencil case below my cutter holds all bits and bobs such as scissors, pokey tool, pens and pencils, tweezers, and that kind of thing. The skull pencil case had a selection of Promarkers in along with my small tin of Caran d'Ache watercolours. Then there are some acrylic blocks and my glue in front - that is a wooden coaster with my initials on that a friend's husband made me once (he has since passed so it is treasured)
I did a few pages on my Janet Klein book but I still have some more to do before I show you it.
The main thing I did was sit and play with my strips, cutting lots and enjoying placing the different colours together. Sunday I decided to use up all the pieces I had been using and had left over so there are lots that look similar. When we got home last night I just emptied the big box of stuff I had taken and here is my desk today -
These are all the Scrappy Strip technique things I did whilst away - now I just have to make them into cards - maybe in a bit I will have enough to send to a lot of my friends - I just need to decorate them up. The original idea came from Bruno Bertucci in Oz who was inspired by a piece of Australian Art and wanted to recreate it
So that is it for this week - two desks - one from the holiday and one just as I got back home and set things out ready to start making into cards. So for now I will head over to see what my WOYWW friends have been up to. Toodle Pip!
