Slowly, Slowly, Catchy Monkey

It's been a long long haul getting the back room done and I have to say that I am longing for normality again.

The carpet fitters are here and they are making a splendid job.

 

I'm not being adventurous as I need a calming room so we are sticking to neutral tones. I have enough stress in my life without trying to match up Psychedelic colours.

It tickled me that they used a spray adhesive around the edges and it took me all of my might not to

interfere with the spraying.

This picture above is in the passage way of the house so I think I managed to match up the carpet quite well.

It will be good to get our sitting room back, poor Chris has to keep sliding this big boy around the room to be able to get a sit down.

Hopefully the next lot of pictures will be a finished room.

I Need a New Pinny

I think I'm in need of a new Pinny (Apron) I know a man who may be able to print one up for me and in fact he may already have some in stock.

I'm after a crafting Pinny, do you have one? Is it something that you have thought about?

 

Mine is getting old now and I really need one with pockets.

We are on the last leg of the back room, carpets will be here tomorrow and some of the furnature arrived today.

Not long now.

The important things.

I was sitting having a cuppa at my Mams tonight, I always sit on the sofa facing the fire place and realised that I always find myself looking at our family photos, they have pride of place on the wall.

I sat smiling at them noticing how young we were and thinking of us now how we have grown and how proud my Mam and Dad was of us all.

It suddenly dawned on me that I didn't have the photos in my collection so I whipped out my phone and took them off the wall to take a copy.

Now no giggling but this is the group one, me with long hair, Chris looks like he is sporting a toupee my girls so young and my brothers family too.

 

I will be in big trouble when this posts out to Facebook but I felt you would enjoy seeing it.

Multi Layers

I had a little time to play, creating multi layers can be so fun, not sticking anything down until you are totally satisfied is the key to this, OK it takes a little longer to create your masterpiece but what is the rush? it is all about enjoying what you are doing so why rush it?

So this is one I built in 2 days, obviously not solid days but  wanted the papers to be right and I kept walking away from it, I had the idea in my head what I wanted and kept adding to the idea. Sticking nothing down until I was happy.

You will probably notice that I rarely add wording to my cards, actually I do it once I know who it is going to or even leave it as it is depending on my mood.

Making a statement with a poinsettia.
