Well we had a lovely day, the sun came out to play too, there was a real buzz to the shop, Jim our artist was there showing his painting and colouring skills although he did get through rather a lot of biscuits the greedy lump. there was table top sales and we had ladies selling loads of different crafts.
I managed to stand most of the time but had to give in when I couldn’t bear it no more. Jim the artist found 2 new assistants, two lovely girls who were ever so well behaved.
Check out the lady knitting in the sun, that really tickled me, her stall had some of the most gorgeous wools.
Ellen the shop manager was the hostess with the mostest she makes everyone welcome to the shop and if you have a query she will solve it for you, if she doesn’t know you can guarantee she can find out.
here is a few pictures so you can see what went on.
I only wished I had remembered to get someone to take pictures whilst I demoed but it got so busy that I clean forgot. next time I’ll make sure I get some though.
I thought I’d get to work showing you how you can put together a pretty card with the Washi Tape from Fantastic Ribbons I love this stuff so simple to use.
I teamed it with Swedish Star Student digi by D’arcy’s Diaries
So no backing papers just Washi Tape here, I used the Candyfloss collection.
I coloured the image with Copic markers and added buttons and ribbons.
I will be at Imag-e-nation at Crowther Industrial Estate, Washington, Tyne and Wear, tomorrow demoing Indigo Blu Stamps and mega flakes from 10am till 2pm, I’d love to see you all there. There will be table top sales and totally a fun day out. We’ve even persuaded Jim our Artist at La Pashe to demonstrate his skills.
Here is a little card I put together using the Baroque Christmas Tree.
The center to the bow is from Mei Flower I also used the Brighton Pier Mega flakes and Pan Pastels
I was thrilled with the opening to the Olympic games, it depicted the English history and told a story, I sat glued to the TV, I had a few near tears when we remembered those that were no longer with us and Emeli Sandé sang Abide with me,Joyous that children were a major part of the ceremony and a big shout out to Sir Tim Berners-Lee the inventor of WWW as without him I couldn’t be writing this now so I thought very apt that he was there too.
Very sad that Muhammad Ali, a 1960 Olympic gold medallist , came back for the Opening Ceremony and looked so frail (God Bless)
The Olympic cauldron was simply amazing,it was made up of a copper kettle representing each country that was taking part in the games and each kettle was petal shaped and once lit they all joined up to make the cauldron.
You can see it in it’s glory here
Wherever you are in the world good luck in the games.
