Well, not much going on here as my continued Spring cleaning has irritated my back. I have had to mostly hand over to darling hubby to get things done and I must say he's been doing a cracking job. He really does respond well to instruction, even though I feel guilty barking out orders every morning. I just wish he could see what needs doing himself. He is off to the local 'farm' today to be fawned over by all the volunteer ladies. It gives his ego a boost. 

I on the other hand intend to have a potter at my desk, a trip to the chemist and PO and maybe start a new book. The wind has dropped so hoping it will be warm enough to sit out for a while. 

Ah, the desk. No photo. I will refer you to last week. I did however go to craft club yesterday and made these, not quite finished yet! We had a fire drill yesterday, I can't tell you how funny that was on various levels. Thank goodness it's a single storey building. 

 Hope you are all well, have a good crafty week and love n hugs from me,

Now where did THAT week go? Sorry didn't get round to everyone and most of those I did were very late. 

Not much crafting getting done, but we did have a well attended and productive card class here on Friday. Here are my samples - we had a go at layered stencilling and then jazzing it up with splits and eclipse style finishes. 

Here's my desk this morning:

Yep diddly squat apart from my workings out for the card I'm hoping to make when we meet again in a couple of weeks.

Hope you are all well, have a good week and love n hugs from me,

Tag from crop

Here's my desk, pretty boring, but the do it or bin it box has been whittled down again. Turns out a lot of it was projects leftover from a crop - last year? The year before? Just need putting together. Quite a few other bits that had ended up in there actually just needed putting away. Don't worry, I still have at least one more pile to deal with after I've done with this one.

It's been a week, with Easter and extra childminding taking huge chunks out of it. So not much to report on the crafting front. Hopefully have something more to show next week, especially as my plans to visit my sister in law at the weekend have been cancelled as she is not well. Toying with the idea of catching the Picasso exhibit at the Tate instead. 

Today I have to finalise bits for my craft class on Friday, my sister is popping in for lunch during her lunch break, and it is forecast to be 24degrees - really hope to get all the washing done and spend some time outside!!

And just because I can......

Easter Sunday

Yesterday jut before he tipped all those balls out

As an aside, now that I've woken up and the world isn't yet in pieces and the blue skies are working their magic, i'm feeling like I want to get a lot done today.

I hope to be around early for once but not gonna promise. 

Have a good week, love n hugs,

Back again after our little trip to Rome. As you can see my son and DiL Both completed their runs - a first for Ryan. 

We had a very stressful 'journey' as BA had oversold the flight and we were put on standby - didn't even know we were going until 15 mins before take off. I felt quite ill on the flight and  that lasted until we got home so although we got out in the daytime I was just too exhausted to go out. Didn't manage to hit all the main italian food groups (Pasta, pizza, gelato and tiramusu) but we gave it a shot.

We made it to the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps- here's hubby right in front of  Trevi. We accidently got there early (apparently it doesn't open till 11 - who knew?) and had no problem getting a photo and viewing the fountain (without paying or queuing).

We had booked a wine tasting event and that was very enjoyable. Didn't do a lot else really. Walked along the Tiber (the most boring river in the world) which was very pleasant and uncrowded!! 

I seem to have been busy with gp stuff since we got back and haven't done much. The box of do it or bin it suff has been completed. Unfortunately I immediately filled it up and it's even worse than before!! Hre is my desk at craft club Tuesday afternoon. I was trying to use up these sweet characters from way back when using some random bits of card as there are only a few scraps of the original papers left. 

Hope you all have a good week and a Happy Easter Weekend. 

Love n hugs, Cindyxx

I was pretty late getting around last week. I think we should accept that as the norm as I always seem to have stuff going on on Wednesdays now.

Not much has changed but I have been working on reducing that do-it or bin-it box. Should be able to clear that quickly now. TBF a lot of it was just putting papers and stuff away away but I made a few bits too despite a distinct lack of crafting time.

So many birthday cards to send out! April isn't much better either but then its fairly quiet till August.

I'm off to Rome on Saturday as my son and his wife are both running the Rome Marathon. Not exactly sure why we are going but gives us a chance to look around and give them some moral support. Not sure I'll be posting next week as will only just be back Weds. 

I really need to find time to do some ironing. Haven't done any since October and half my wardrobe is in the ironing basket. Seasonally quite sensible as I am only just starting to look for some of those things.....

Have a great week, love and hugs Cindy xx

Here's my desk, quite tidy for now - the pile on the left is my do it or bin it pile for the next couple of days, not starting any new projects till that is dealt with.

I did manage to prep a card for last Friday. Went for a simple z-fold and everyone really liked it. Here are my samples. My photos have all gone a little yellow!!

Other than that life has been gently busy as I've been touching base with friends who I haven't seen for weeks and dealing with the huge number of birthdays that occur in March. Not least for my little Splodge (getting bigger by the day) who was 3 on Monday. How the time does fly!!

Anyway already behind schedule and meeting up with another good friend this afternoon. Have a good week, love n hugs Cindyxx

Well here we are again, back at my 'at home' desk. It's Wednesday, I'm late on parade, and I have only been in my craft room to tidy so here's a photo of the Lou Collins inspired card we made at my card making class a few days before we left on  holiday. I can't tell you how much there was to tidy up, as the class was a Friday, My hubby had his 70th birthday party on the Saturday, family get together on the Sunday, Lionel duties Monday morning then flew out Tuesday so nothing was put away after the class. 

Guess what, a month has gone by and I have another class booked for Friday and have done nothing, not even decided on the project let alone prepped it. hey ho. I always do work better under pressure.

So that's me, have guests today so maybe Thursday before I get round. Happy WOYWW Cindyxx
