Saturday is a together Day for Chris and myself, weekends we take time out to be together and enjoy each others company.
Today I declined from the cycle ride but Chris went out early morning and come home like a drowned rat, he was soon showered and ready for the rest of the day together.
It was a naughty kind of day, it started well with porridge and banana for breakfast but then we did the sin of going to Dalton Park and grabbing a Latte to go from Thornton’s (you always get a chocolate to go with the coffee, now if that wasn’t bad enough we had to pass by Millie's cookies and a toffee cookie was calling our name, not one but two each, oh well I’m sure a cycle ride tomorrow will sort that out for us.
Hope you are all enjoying your weekend too.
Over the last few weeks I have been using the Triple Light Daylight lamp from the Daylight Company to craft under.
The image above was took in full daylight 12:00 noon in my home, you can see the difference it makes to my work area even at day time.
I first used it clamped onto my table top the I got the floor stand which is amazing, the structure of the legs are cast iron so it is really sturdy.
When I first thought about the triple light I was thinking triple the brightness comparing it to my original desk lamp and magnifier but what I hadn’t banked on was the fact that it would have triple the spread of light, this for me as a crafter is the most amazing part of the lamp.
The image above shows the lighted area that this lamp gives to me.
I often have what you could say is a dumping ground on my desk, I tend to gather things that I would like to use in making a card and plonk them on the desk what the lamp does to help is give me no shadows so that colours are true and it is easy to map out the card with matching items before gluing them in place.
I’m so happy with the productiveness of this lamp, over all a big 10 out of 10 I’d give this one.
I found a lovely new company to me, From The Heart Stamps, of course it would have been impolite to pass it by without a purchase, so my image today is called Drenched.
The sentiment comes with the digi stamp and I’m dedicating this card to all of the UK as I would like brilliant sunshine back please.

Sometimes we need to take the plunge and paint our own Canvas in life and I found just the image to express this and make an inspirational card with.
This is the figure that I am aiming for with my healthy eating, I may need a wizard to go with her to work a bit of body magic for me.
Having said that I have been back out on my bike and did a healthy 10.5 miles tonight, I’m in training for the up and coming bank holiday as I just know Chris is going push me over the weekend.

Sunday morning and the Sunday roast is cooking in the new oven and smelling divine.
we have finally got to the stage that we can show you the new kitchen, it is more like a walk in cupboard as it is only tiny but it has been a real labour of love, stripping it right back to brick work to combat the rising damp that was plaguing it.
This first picture is a panoramic view and it is a bit jumpy but you will get the gist of it from the other photos.
Scary I know but it will eventually have to be said…. Christmas Cards eeek!
From Bethlehem by Mo’s Digital Pencil
Coloured with Copic Markers, chalk pencils, Pan Pastels and a white sharpie marker.
The dies I used are Spellbinders cross die set and a Cheery Lynn holly branch.
I kept it simple as the image is so vibrant I didn’t want to overwhelm it.
