OUCH! in lots of pain, the decorating, furniture building and attic sorting have taken their toll and I now have a really bad back....

in other news I spent the weekend at my friend jean's house, looking after her house, 2 dogs,cat and 6 chickens, while she was away. Up at 6.30am and feeding chucks in my pjs and boots by 7am...it's not a good look hahaha

On Monday it was our monthly art group, real name Efemera Ink...affectionally known as Glue and Stick...

This months project, put together as ever by the lovely
Ms.Efemera herself was a mini wall hanging. using pelmet vilene, text from a book, triple embossing, metal work,stitching and beading.

This is mine...

These are the ones done by everybody else, all the same but different...


This is my desk today, still fairly tidy. Stuff on the desk, a voucher from my friend for looking after her house, a video that i found in the attic of my sons birthday party from 1991. I now need to find a way of getting it onto a disc. Obligatory cup of fruity tea, some music discs and up the skirt of a doll that I have been making.


and here she is all finished, hanging up in my bedroom. When the window is open she gently twirls around.

    I love your wall hanging and doll... very creative. I also LOVE your cakes and I am always so inspired to go make a cake when I see yours. I intend to make the chocolate cupcakes this weekend - without the beetroot! I love it but I don't think my family will. Hmmm. Maybe I will test them! LOL. TFS. ~Glen~

    Your doll is fabulous, I love her to bits and would willingly make room for her in my bedroom!! Same could be said for the plaques, they are stunning and all so different!

    *Sniff*, no cakes this week?? Sorry about the back, I put myself in a similar position last weekend by doing too much gardening. So I stood in the kitchen and baked a coconut cake, even though standing up wasn't good, I did enjoy the eating of it part!
