Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

    Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

Daisy and Alfie are helping with the gardening.

Alfie is chewing up the Wisteria and Daisy is having a sniff round just in case something interesting turns up.

The grapes are looking good though they are still a bit sharp to the taste. I'm adding them to my breakfast cereal, very tasty.

After the gardening is done for today we have two lazy dogs.

Hubby must have very tasty jeans.

Alfie decided he liked this towel.

He's giving me the "this is mine" look.

And is now using it as a cushion.

But he does like this spot too.

It faces the front door and the sun shines through the window straight at him.

It must be very comfy!

Been in the park too and found this Fungi, love the colours.

I'll finish off today with a few pics from the Steampunk festival.

I think that's enough for today. 

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.

woyww - 901 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

       Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

I'm busy at the moment getting some Christmas card projects ready for my friends to put together when they have their class with me.

There's a mixture of card and paper here, Dreamees, Funky Fossil, The Works and Dovecraft. As I'm just starting a new card design I've not yet decided what to use.

I know that some of you don't make Christmas cards quite so early but I like to get these ready in plenty of time just in case!

So that's me done for today, well not really as I've got to go back and prep. more cards Lol!

If you're interested I'll show you the finished cards when they're all complete.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and visit the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Make it On Monday.

    Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you a card that I made at the Craft Club last weekend:

I've been a bit busy the rest of the week getting some Christmas cards projects ready for the class I'll be doing with some friends so not really done much else but thought you might like this.

 As I didn't have anything available for the background it's torn papers mostly with a patterned paper for the ski. The other details are die cut and stamped images.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day with Smiles

   Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

It's been another fun week here in Lincoln with the Steampunk Festival.

Thought you might like to see a few of these.

Happy people despite the rain.

It's so good to see so many happy faces.

There are lots more photos but I'll show you more next Friday or we'll be here all day Lol!

Other than that we have also been to the seaside. As the children are going back to school this week it was fairly quiet so we popped over to Anderby Creek.

Our trip was quiet but you can see the queue of traffic coming away from the coast.

This is Anderby Creek.

These guys have arrived since we were last here.

Seals are wellknown around this area.

I wonder if you know the difference between Seals and Sea Lions? 

These are Seals but how do I know this?

After walking along the beach we walked back by the path where there are a few houses.

We have not actually walked along here before and when I first saw these three I thought they were real people but.......

They were not. 

I Love them.

But I also love the patterns created by the sea.

That might be the start of some new art work soon.

I love days like this, there are a few people over in the distance and that's it.

It was lovely and warm too.

Back soon.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.

woyww - 900 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

        Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk on this very special day!

We're all looking back to earlier days.

I know this is not so old but it is still one of my happiest memories of being part of this fabulous group.

I love you all.

If it hadn't been for woyww I wouldn't still be blogging now. 

You all gave me reason to keep going.

This is one of my earlier pieces here on the blog.

 As I was still doing lots of sewing then this is a sample I did for Lavinia Stamps, created on one of her download designs with the addition of my embroidery and some quilting too.

If you want to see more about it you can find some of it here:

So that's me done for today.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and visit the other desks for some great memories.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww

Masterboard Monday.

    Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you how I used this Masterboard which you may remember seeing me put together last week:

If not you can find it here:

Now we're a bit further on.

A few more additions and everything attached.

These are the stencils I used plus some spraying and stamping to complete the design.

It now looks like this.

But I didn't stop there........

You may remember seeing the start of some new pages in my Art Journal last week.

All of these things were meant for each other though it wasn't obvious at the time!

Well now it is and hope you like the results.

Only used a small section of the masterboard to cut out the sun's rays and finished it with stickles glitter glue for a bit of shine. 

There's plenty left for another time.

Hope you're having a sunny day too.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,
