Back to the Grindstone

Holidays over well for a couple of weeks anyway then i am off to Porlock Weir, with my Art Friend from PEDAS (Poole and East Dorset Art Society) They have been my friends for 20 Years, Where has the time gone??. We had a lovely Time in the lakes, saw lots of wildlife, lots of walking, Poor Dog was glad to get home for a rest LOL. Susan Monk from UKembellisher swap, was kind enough to let us visit her on the way up for a cup of Tea, nice to put a face to the name, we also swapped some goodies, Thanks Sue.

Countdown

Hope everyone had a great weekend? The weather here is hot and sunny. and i am on countdown for our holiday. Played around with some sun printing on Saturday(Thanks Julie) made some paper fabric and used some to cover a notebook( not removable). and i also embellished some sea glass, slate and beach stones, with fantasy film and embossing powder. yesterday sat on the lake while DH fished, did manage some sketching, and took a few photos.

Did try a walk with the dog when we first arrived but we both decided it was too hot to walk far and it was only 10.00, Whats it going to be when Summer arrives! If i do not blog again before Holiday, will catch up with you all when i am home.

Bits and pieces and Surprise

Hi everyone, i am still in a butterfly mood, flitting from one task to another. but did manage to finish a few outstanding bits, that have been sat there staring at me for a while!. I had a lovely surprise in the post from Susan Monk of the Yahoo ukembellisherswap group yesterday, a beautiful embellised ATC based on a Paleolithic cave painting, The weather here has been beautiful the last few days and i have been out and about with my camera and the dog, we have had some lovely walks and taken some great pics. (on my Flickr pages) only one more week and we are away to the Lakes, Hope the weather holds.
