Poinsettia Class






Braved the rain lugging my craft box to Carshalton for a class this morning. After some last minutes changes we made these lovely cards.

Christmas Shopping









Managed to finish my Christmas shopping in Guildford. Used the Park & Ride - free parking and £1.30 for the bus so saved a lot on car park fees. It was also the monthly farmers market so tried lots of lovely local produce, a real bonus.

After walking around for nearly 5 hours I still had enough energy to pop into Polsden Lacey to admire the Autumn colours before the wind and rain finished them off.

Half Term











Had a short break in Witney with time to explore the Cotswold, Blenheim Palace and Oxford. The weather could have been better but all in all it was a super time with lots to see and do and a comfortable hotel with leisure centre and excellent food.

Today's efforts










Made three cards today. One for tomorrow's class and the other two for the following week. Haven't been home much as I've been enjoying my new found freedom since I got the all-clear to drive again on Monday. 8 weeks was a long time and it's good to be independant again!

Poinsettias











Been playing with some ideas for cards using poinsettias. Here are the first few efforts!

Just as I thought

It's amazing how preparing the class list up to the end of the year and realising that my first class is in a couple of weeks time has finally stirred me into action.

Decided to use the two cute 'lady' dies I bought last week and made a series of cards mainly in black and white

Where has my inspiration gone?

Since early August I have not set foot in the craft room for more than a few minutes. My get up and go got up and went and I am not feeling even a teeny bit inspired. Hopefully I'll be back on track soon especially as I start to teach classes again at the end of the month. Perhaps that will galvanize me into action!
In the meantime, thank goodness for Paula at Crafts U Love - at least I have been able to do some 'Make and Takes' there to keep my hand in. Beautiful, but none of my own ideas sadly.....
