I'm fancying some more masks of late and have spotted some new designs by the talented Ali Reeve.

From top to bottom they are Celtic Border, Choir Border, Elegance Border, Filmstrip Border, Ivy Border and lastly Music Border.... Now the decision is why to get first? after I have gotten the 5 sets of mini masks!!

bye for now

WOYWW...172 :-D

Crikey!!  I've not posted on WOYWW for a good few months but after finally doing a bit of crafting, a lack of crafting has been due to being poorly and we hope to find out what it is soon, anyway I felt it was time to come and post on a Wednesday :-D Now the pics below are of the earrings I've been making lately, I was enabled by Krafty Karen, anyway here they are... (The black triangles with flowers on were made for my daughter to match a bracelet that we made together for her :-D )

Now this is the point where you wonder why I have a pic of a chair... this is one of my latest ebay bargains!! not bad for a fiver eh?... make that THREE CHAIRS!!! for a FIVER!! (One each for myself and Mr Wonderful and one for the kids pc in the living room!)

I love eBay, don't you?

Thanks for dropping by and thanks to our esteemed leader Julia for starting WOYWW, I love it when I get the chance to join in :-D and I can't believe its week 172! Ooh and if you are wondering where my WOYWW badge is... it's attached to the bag I crocheted, just on the right of the bottom pic

:-D

Tomorrow is Tuesday....

Mr Wonderful is taking the day off to take me to hospital as I have to see a consultant about some long-term health issues... but in the meantime, I have sort of started a new hobby.... jewellery making!! I seem to be drawn towards earrings more than necklaces or bracelets but that's fine as my darling daughter likes to make bracelets!! she has sold a few already to school friends and has even learned how to do the knotting that is used for making shamballa bracelets! Unfortunately because of the problems I have with my hands I can't actually doing any crafting til about 4pm in the day as until then my fingers really hurt to move them so, as I get very tired now I spend most of the day napping off and on and come alive when my children come home from school...

I hope to start blogging again more often and maybe on Wednesday, I'll be back with WOYWW along with Julia and the rest of the woyww'ers.

Until then, bye for now

:D

Today we are mostly filling forms out!

The boys have come home with the yearly school information form to be updated and I got a letter from the ME clinic with not one BUT two questionnaires in it!!... So I've been sat next to Mr Wonderful whilst he has asked the questions and done the writing... isn't he wonderful!! Wonderful by name and Wonderful by nature!!

Meanwhile the boys are suspiciously quiet downstairs... one is supposed to be researching David Livingstone and the old one is supposed to be tidying his bedroom!! this is the same room that was supposed to be tidied last weekend!! He sure can drag things out and we have taken away the dvd & cd players and next to go will be the wii and pc in the living room, in the hope that the other two will nag at him to do his room but when I asked him if he was bothered, his answer was short and not so sweet! "no!"

Where did this one come from???? the other two have relatively tidy rooms but his can be mistaken for a post nuclear fallout area!!! but saying that I love him to bits!! his blue eyes and blonde hair that is gradually going darker like his older sister's but youngest one looks very much like me with hair a very dark brown like his father...

Anyway darling daughter wants to be collected from her friends house then to go and collect another friend and bring them both back here....  Meanwhile... the boys have slipped quietly out of the front door!! little divils!

A digi lo with a difference.............

I fancied doing a layout of my newest addiction, Distress Stains!! Its been a while since I've done any lo's. The odd card here and there for birthdays but I felt that it was time to get back into scrapping in one way or another and even tho my hands are not as flexible as they used to be, I managed to put this layout together using various kits from serif craft artist. I'm not au fait with the digi thing but with a bit of help from Mr Wonderful I did it.

So thanks for looking
