Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

Finally Finally - WOYWW


First of all I must thank you who commented on my last post and the touching words you said. It was all written in a blur of tears that I couldn't really see what I was writing, so it was lovely that it was so well received and obviously said what I wanted to say. There was so much more I wanted to say about John.

Anyway, lets get down to WOYWW. I have finally after nearly two weeks unpacked my Ally Pally Stash. Not so much this time as our hearts wasn't in it, but as you can see its mainly Timbo stuff or Artistic Stamper stuff, plus a few charms, alterable stuff and a few rolls of tape (because my dear OH needed some red tape so stole all my double sided wonder tape - cheek of the man!)

I've just noticed that if you look to the right you can see a very small portion of a WIP I am working on for the Craft Stamper competition, not sure it will get finished though as I have a very special visitor coming next week for a few days my lovely Mrs Bessie - is it cheating if i get her to help me?

Can we move onto the kitchen now? When I got back from Kent I found my new oven installed nicely in the kitchen. I was under strict instructions from my DD that I was NOT in ANY circumstances, allowed to use it until she got home from school the next day and I was cajoled by my DH to make a Toad in the Hole because I has spent all of our married life telling him I couldn't make T.I.T.H because of our oven - he never really believed me but I think we have proved him wrong, so I think this will now become a family favourite - yum yum (don't worry Mrs Bessie, we wont make you eat Yorkshire pud whilst you are here!)


oh and whilst we are in the kitchen - these blocks of wood will become my SIL's wedding invites, must get on with them as the wedding is in December - Obviously not your normal sort of invite, but if I tell you she is not having a traditional wedding cake but three tiers consisting of, bottom - Pork Pie middle - a complete Brie and top - cake, you will gather she and her partner are not traditional girls!



That's it for now peeps, I hope you are all well and happy. Not sure how many desks I will get around again this week, so please accept my apologies now
Gotta go I am off to get weighed!

  23. I had intended to stop by and visit anyone who left a comment, then it got me confused, so decided to go through the list instead (grin).

    Looks like you made out like a bandit at Ally Pally. Glad to read about your new stove and the meal looks yummy.

    I hope to see the finished wedding invites. They sound awesome. (#1)
