Pixie House Mini Tag Design

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in again. 

It has rained here all day….

Eric and me have got soaked on every walk..

At least we are inside now, dry and warm….

I am just popping in with our 

Monday Catch up video.

I do think this phrase will catch on…

Let’s see how many other crafters share catch up videos,,

Speaking on phrases 

On the class list for Saturday I had put 

Sandra Dune VC ink pad…not Sand Dune…

So we may just have another rename 😂

Today I have a card using some mini tags…

So many possibilities with this design

Wonderful weekend

Hi everyone, 

I hope you had a lovely weekend and that 

your new week has started well 

Our workshop on Saturday in Cumbria was fabulous, 

So lovely to see so many friends 

I can’t believe that we have been meeting up for well over 10 years…

In fact we bought Eric from a breeder in Lindale after one of our classes

I got a big surprise when my Brother and Mum joined us,,,.my face was a picture 

Thanks so much for your company all. 

After the class we went to a local campsite…our regular one

It is next to the canal, look 

Beautiful Swans too 

After walking Eric we settled down for some food , bubbles and bed. 

Sunday morning we went to Mums for coffee then home.

(The M6 was a nightmare and closed for a car which was on fire ) 

Sunday evening was an early shower and my pjs. 

I will be popping back later with our Monday catch up video…

It will be after walking Eric and a coffee 

Catch you later 

Much love and hugs

Fabulous weekend

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in today. 

I hope you had a lovely weekend, the Lavinia workshop in Ruthin was fabulous. 

A wonderful group of ladies..

Thanks so much for the treats…(Prosecco and chocolate…🧡) 

Lorraine is fabulous and such a great help in the shop.

She really looks after everyone. 

We booked in our favourite campsite and managed to park up just before the heavens opened…

Wow what a thunderstorm 

After a good nights sleep it was lovely and dry for a morning walk with Eric, 

Coffee outside and then the drive home. 

It started raining again…and it didn’t stop all day 

This was the car park at the post office this morning.

Definitely weather for ducks 

As it is Monday

A Funky Wreath Design

Hi everyone, 

I hope you are keeping well 

I am a little late with our catch up video , 

Sorry, yesterday was such a busy day.

So many jobs to tick off my list, 

Eric had problems walking last night so I sat for a couple of hours massaging his legs, 

and putting his hot water bottle on his back.

He is much better today, thank goodness. 

Back to the video

So much fun

Autumn Hues

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in, it is always 

so lovely to spend time  with you. 

As it is the first of September

It means that we have a new 

Lavinia Challenge 

Our new theme is

Autumn Hues 

Remember all the information is on the Lavinia website , the winner is chosen at random 

and wins a £40 Lavinia voucher 

Here is some inspiration for you…

A little Autumn tag 

As you know I do love  these colours 

First I added my background colour to the tag 

Next some stamping 

I carefully chose some Versafine Clair colours that would coordinate with the background colours 

More stamping 

Some  finishing  touches 

Water splats, 

Highlights, shadows, and posca pen 

Some lovely craft yarns at the top 

Here is a closer look 

I do hope you will enter…

Good luck everyone 

I’m off to walk Eric again before it rains.

Much love and hugs
