To Craft or Dream. ....?

Good afternoon, thanks for looking in on the cold, wet and windy Sunday. Hope you are having a good day and that you are ready for the new week....and the new month......

So much to do and so little time to do it in.....

Yesterday it was Clarity Cumbria and we had a bit of a party....lots of yummy food, Christmas crackers and party hats....a wonderful rice salad which soon became everyone's favourite and so Rachel has promised to share her secret recipe with us...

We crafted and chatted.....ate, drank and chatted....and some of us ate more cake and yes chatted some more....

We decorated MDF letters with various techniques including paint, crackle glaze, gesso, grunge paste, some stencilling, stamping, using gilding wax, gilding flakes, glitter , well just about everything we could...

And here are some of the finished words...

 

 

 

I think you will agree that they are all fabulous....

Well done ladies and gentleman...

It is always such a pleasure and privilege to spent time with such lovely, kind and genuine crafters....

And yes I do count my blessing...so thanks you all...

Today has been a day of catching up with, ironing, paperwork....a few more pyrography pieces and a couple of dog walks..

Just having a brew whilst I chat to you...oh yes and some special cake ....from a special lady...

Then time to feed the family...

Another busy week ahead so early to bed tonight ....

Enjoy your evening....

Love and hugs

Jo. xxx
