Make it on Monday.

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

I need to get back to making some masterboards soon but there has been a lot going on here at the moment. I've been preparing a class for my friends which we do each year making Christmas cards, lots of gardening!, pond cleaning and cabin sorting.

But what I have been doing is making more Ai photos ready for next year's calendar and as the children are now back at school this seemed like the right one to make at the moment.

How cute are those faces.

If you were wondering, this was the original photograph.

Hope you like it.

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.

Lots more gardening going on here this week and here are our Ai helpers.

If you saw Daisy and Alfie on Friday last week helping with the gardening they looked like this......

Well......here they are again but looking a bit different due to Ai

These two can garden but it usually means digging the lawn up, eating bugs, weeds and of course chasing squirrels Lol! and then getting very dirty which they love!

Gardening here is quite a job as we have a big garden.

This week has been cutting the wisteria and cleaning the pond filters.

Now that is one big wisteria and despite the dry weather it's done really well. We cut it down like this every year and it still grows back.

Another day was the turn of the filter box.

This little guy just did not want to come out!

This one is an old style filter box and is open at the top so we get lots of frogs visiting but he needs to come out until the grids are replaced.

We also have a modern filter box too but that's been cleaned earlier this week.

This was hubby who finally got him out with this old flour sieve.

He's back in again now the grids are replaced.

The frogs are so funny because even when you get them out they will find a way to jump back in.

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.

"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!

To be honest it's desk is no different from last week but.......

I did finish the felted slug that we made at the felting group last week.

Other than that my time has been spent gardening and Daisy and Alfie have been helping..... and if you believe that you will believe anything Lol!

So that's me done for today.

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

Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you something a bit different than you normally see here on a Monday. 

I'm working on images for next years Calendar and have another Schnauzer Ai photograph.

Some of you may have seen some of these before if you visit my facebook page.

The weather has changed too and we're all going out with our umbrellas and raincoats and the dogs are set up and ready for the weather too.

And if the rain stops we'll be off for a little shopping trip too.

Hope that made you smile a little.

Other than that I'm busy working on Christmas card designs but you'll get to see some of these soon. 

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.

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.

Friday Fun Day with lots of 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.

We've had lots of rain this week which we needed so not much going on in the garden but we did go to the Fishfarm and guess what we arrived home with a new fish.

 

I love visiting this fish farm it's such a lovely relaxing place.

You can't really see how big these boys are but trust me they were big.

These are a bit younger and more my price range.

It's not just that but I like to see them develop too.

And this is what we came home with as I don't have a yellow fish.....well I do now and he/she is settling in nicely.

While I was in the garden I noticed this.........

I wonder if you can see who's in there?

Hubby thought he was stuck in there and got him out but he obviously likes it because he came back so we've tipped it up slightly so froggie can get in and out as it likes.

Other than the fish farm we joined some friends for an afternoon of smiles.

This was just as everyone was leaving but it was a lovely day.

The hat is mine. I've had that for years but you have to take care of it as it's made of paper.....who would have thought that.

If you haven't seen it before you might like this.

Another of my Ai pics.

Though at the moment this one might be more appropriate...

What do you think?

This may be the last time I use this laptop as I have another one about to arrive as this poor thing is not behaving well. Despite having some work done on it about a year ago it's playing up again so not spending anymore time or money on it I'm afraid.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

How's that?

That's me done for today.

So here is my desk for today!

Now what might this be?

Well it was actually Sunday when I completed this card and I've not done much since.

This is the finished card.

It's called a Double In and Out Slider Card.

There are details and more photographs for this card on the Monday post here.

Though I have not been at the desk much I have been on my laptop so Daisy and Alfie have gone Steampunk again thanks to ChatGPT.

And here they are.

Also been doing some felting too.

Not quite finished yet.

So that's me done for today.

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

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.

I couldn't resist it, Daisy and Alfie have gone Steampunk again (Ai manipulated)

from this original photo. 

It's interesting that the Ai even adjusted the photo slightly too. Very clever.

Last Saturday I enjoyed a day out at the Doncaster Craft show.

This is the Make and Take part where you can join in with some crafting.

  

Not too busy when I arrived but it soon filled up.

I always like to stop off and watch the demonstrations.

This is not just for paper crafters and there's plenty for those who love fabrics too.

If you need to update your sewing machine you can do that too.

Not that I need another sewing machine but I still love seeing the new stuff.

And there's lots of them.

But I can't ignore the beautiful card samples.

That guy is so cute and yes it looks like Christmas is on it's way.

Thought you might like to see this guy too. He stands near the entrance and is covered in paper flowers.

Not sure he'd make a good race horse though.

Other than that it's still been warm here so not much happening in the garden but the grapes are getting a bit bigger.

I think that's enough for today.

Stay cool and have a great weekend.

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