Late

It's Thursday and it's been a busy week!

Monday was spent digging out as seen in my previous post, Tuesday we finally got some sunshine :-D

And I had a very nice young man of 21... Come round to start clearing some of the snow off my roof!

Yesterday was another beautiful day & I went down to Digne to visit Bill...

He got a food parcel from his daughter delivered whilst I was there CHEETOS, his favourite snack!

So today, as it's snowing again...I finally got round to doing tis weeks twinchie HEART and Moo Mania 

BOOK PAGE so here are my shares

A piece of envelope (inside) coloured with Promarker, a border doodled with a sharpie & Gelly roll, the heart is a Paper Artsy stamp that has had a small portion (arrow) cut off.

A telephone directory page coloured with Promarker and a Lynne Perella stamp on a random piece of card.

Hope you all are keeping dry in the UK with all the dreadful weather that I keep reading about.

More news soon :-)

Chocolate

The theme over at every inchie Monday  sounds like what I need to boost my energy! I seem to have done nothing but clear snow for weeks now. My elbows ache so much that I truly believe I might not even manage to turn the handle of my cuttlebug ( if it was here). 

Here is my inchie

A stamp that came with an issue of Creative Stamping :-)

And here are a few shots of a significant amount of snow...

The number 8 is at head height on me (5'9"/1.75m)!

There is a BMW X3 lurking under there, it was cleared yesterday afternoon ....

Here I am standing in our front entrance !

Next time they talk about a lot of snow in the UK I might just have a serious rant at the newscaster!!!

JOURNAL 52- week 6

This weeks prompt is love letters 

I used Promarker & Spectrum Noire pens to colour my page in blocks, black Sharpie for the writing and some white Gelly roll & silver Sharpie for highlights.

An imaginary note, sort of, to husband who is still in traction....it all comes off tomorrow and then physio starts in earnest :-) 

The lower section of the page is the lyrics to a love song by Michel Sardou called "la maladie d'amour" (1973) which is a long time favourite of mine and reminds me of teenage romances when I was studying in France :-D

News

Visited Bill yesterday - he gets all the weights removed Monday morning!

I travelled down by bus & train - took most of the day to get there & back. 

Today, the very same train was derailed! It seems there was a huge boulder that rolled onto the line as the train was going along & the first carriage got bowled off. 2 dead & 7 injured is the latest I've seen on the Internet :-(

I feel very glad to be safe. 

Meanwhile the snow is still falling and I wish I could wiggle my nose to make it all stop. 

This was taken Thursday!

I'll give you an update again soon. 

Twinchie

It's Tuesday and it's time for a new subject for twinchie challenge: feathers is the latest theme so here is my share....

A random scrap (distress inks) and 3 fussy cut feathers (inked scraps) + some fake stitching.

The stamp was a freebie with Craft Stamper :-)

Cathedral

It's Monday again & whilst my week has gone quite fast....Bill's has dragged, quite literally! His traction comes off next Monday though so things will be getting easier for him :-)

Every inchie Monday is upon us again...

This week it's a piece of book page that's been stamped with a chocolate baroque bitty stamp. 

Hope everyone had a good weekend & that you are now all ready for making artful creations, see you all again soon :-)

Journal 52 - week 5

Abstract art....

I've had to go with this in an interesting way...thanks to my lack of supplies!

Random blocks of watercolour pencils, scribbled & then a damp paint brush

A little plastic pot dipped in some black paint (children's paintbox) to give me some random circles

I've accentuated some sections of the circles with Promarkers

ART 52 JOURNAL have been stencilled/written with a Sharpie

I've added dots & vermicelli "stitching. 

The stitching & blocks  reminds me of patchwork! Something I used to do a lot of :-)

The central JOURNAL had an omission "R" but I think I've managed to make it look deliberate :-)

I had fun doing this as the snow was gently drifting past my window yesterday afternoon.
