DAY WITH JAMES AND 5 HOURS OF HIS FAVOURITE TV PROGRAMME

Can't believe we sat and chatted and watched his fav TV programme on his laptop yesterday so not a lot of crochet done at all but a fabulous day could have no or very little contact with him for about 4 months very soon...sad and miserable l'll be!!

COWL TO CUSHION AND BACK TO COWL AGAIN?

Really hated it as a cowl when it had a purple ripple in it removed the purple and looked at it as a cushion added the lime greens and now l like it as a cowl again...so not sure what it will be when its finished hehe....

CUSHION OR COWL?...........mmmmmmmmmmmmm

THANKS KATHRYN FOR A WONDERFUL WEEKEND

One of the wire baskets l bought for my cottons to go in

bedroom ready for Kathryn who gave me a wonderful toenail French manicure as we sat outside the 'shed' in the sunshine yesterday......sheer bliss then we went to see 'The Hangover' film at the local community flicks last night and we shopped today....photos to folllow

miss my reflexology sessions so a french manicure from K was absoluely wonderful.....now l have pretty toes lol

2 volunteers!!!...did l ask for help? lol

Turn ya back and the help is sitting down on the job......lol

Copying didn't work ended up cutting out and painting the flower shapes still not sure if l should paint the background first of stick flowers down and then paint the back ground....experiments to do in art journal me thinks before l decide

not sure l want a crisp edge to flowers or a blurry edge...sort of stitched edge maybe!!!!

BEGINNINGS OF 2 FLORAL COLLAGES

Should have been a lime and aqua flowers first the inspiration from a duvet cover....but the printer ran out of cerise ink so wont print anything....must buy a new printer

So l just played around with all the colours and wallpapers l had for now

added a few smaller die cut flowers too not sure what the end collage will be like yet but love the flowers l have so far large ones are about 12" and the smallest about 1"



hehehehe like scrapbooking on a grand scale.....very relaxing though cutting out flowers
