Busy, busy, busy

I'm back.  So much has happened over the last few months - a lovely holiday

 
A big and when I say big I mean huge birthday
 
 
and a new job!
 
Well now things have settled down a little and I have been able to spend some time doing what I enjoy most crafting!  Three friends Dawn, Stella and I got together and had an evening sewing bags.  This is my effort and I was totally surprised when I took it to work to finish it off and a colleague wants to buy it!  Just got to work out a price now.
 
 
 
Why don't you take a moment to pop over to see the other bags?  Click here for Stella's blog and here for Dawn's blog.  Both are well worth a visit - very talented ladies both.
 
Then we did a scrap page workshop with Katherine at Croxley Papercrafters.  Her scrapbooks are fantastic and truly inspirational.  Unfortunately I had to leave before I finished thanks to London Underground, but I did finish my page at home.  Katherine showed us how to create the background, it started off as plain white.  Thank you Katherine, another enjoyable sessions.
 
 
 
This is a picture of Alex who I always refer to as my God daughter but she isn't she is my second cousin (I think - my cousin's daughter).  She is one very talented young lady.  I have had this photograph for ages and was so pleased to finally do something with it.  I have another picture of Alex with Mark, her brother (who is my Godson).
 
I also made this little fellow - not a brilliant picture I know.  But I had so much  fun doing this.  Trying to stuff him with split red lentils at Odds and Sods will go down as one of those nights I won't forget in a hurry.  I thought Florrie was going to wet herself she laughed so much.  Thank you Marion for your help.
 
 
Well, that's it for now but I hope to blog a bit more frequently than over the last few months. I have so many projects to start not to mention all the UFO's lurking in dark spaces!
 
Thank you for visiting.
