bits and bobs

Not been up to much lately crafty wise, apart form buying something to put all my craft bits in tidily , (thank you IKEA) but did make this necklace. I bought the Turquoise nuggets locally and the tubes from a bead shop online, hope I remember where as I want some more.

The weather was so lovely today we walked to the shop. The walk took us over an hour as we got distracted by the leaf piles ... do you remember kicking your way through them when you were a kid walking to school... bet you still do now :) I know i do but i do have a nearly 2 year old walking by my side :). Yes my baby is 2 years old next Saturday !!!!! Where has the time gone ?? Any way a few pics from our walk this morning.I won't tell you about the piles of conkers that are everywhere.. including callum's bedroom !!!

Thanks for stopping by

Life is a canvas

Hi , have finally made a card after 4 months, I bought some pro markers early this year and am finally ( i hope) getting the hang of this shading jobby. I bought this rubber stamp a few months ago but when i heard the saying attached to the card and thought the 2 went perfectly together.

Back in blogland

HMMMPPH second time lucky. I closed the screen down before I published my post !! DHHHRRR

Well am back here after the move, which went brilliantly. Just finding my feet. The boys did 3 weeks at school before they broke up for summer. They have the novelty of catching the school bus here instead of walking or riding bikes. I have unpacked all my craft stuff and to be honest going from a room to a cupboard is a bit of a pain so am keeping my eyes open for some suitable storage.

I haven't done any card making yet but have been playing with my beads. I have put up a couple of pics of some stuff I made this week. Have done some before we moved bu can't find where it is stashed at the moment , when I do I will post them too.

.

anyway that's all for now,

hugs and many thanks for stopping by
