Abandoned!

I came across this abandoned dummy at the side of the road today.

Was it dropped accidentally? or was it thrown from the pushchair in a temper tantrum? I wondered.

Surprise Gift

Today I received a lovely surprise gift. Last month I signed up to take part in the Artella Mystery Muse 2013 Project for the month of February. You promise to send two creative offerings to a person whose details they send you. In return, you receive two gifts from a Mystery Muse who has been given your name and address.

Today I received this lovely gift from my Mystery Muse. Thank you so much, whoever you are.

Little Notebooks

It was cold outside today…

… so I stayed in and made some little notebooks. Cute, aren’t they!

Spring is Coming!

Spring is coming! There are little signs everywhere you look.

It’s so good to see the colours returning.

Winter Sea!

The winter sea on a bright sunny day…

… is a mesmerising sight to behold!

Braving the Cold…

Braving the cold winter wind…

… for a bite to eat!

An Apple A Day…

An apple a day…

… is supposed to keep the doctor away! It’s also equal to one of your five-a-day portions of fruit and vegetables! Personally, I think it makes a pretty good picture!

Sneak Peek!

Here’s a sneak peek…

… at my completed Life Book project for lesson 5. See the full picture tomorrow on the Artimess blog.

Birthdays and Bugs

My birthday coupled with a tummy bug has left me behind with my posting. So here goes to catch up!

27/365 Binding rings…

… keeping it all together.

28/365 Leftover from Christmas…

… there’s always something!

29/365 New brushes…

… well almost!

30/365 Game cards…

… for the game of life.

31/365 Standing on the bridge…

… over troubled water!

32/365 Setting sun…

… over the rooftops. Beautiful!

Hopefully I’ll be back to daily posting now. See you tomorrow.

A Splash of Red!

For many many years, I have resisted the lure of the die cutting/embossing machines considered essential by most of my crafting peers.

But I have finally succumbed, and I spent last night playing with my new toys! I don’t generally make cards until I need them, but this was my first finished product!

Today we were supposed to be going out for the day to celebrate my birthday, but last night it snowed…

… so we postponed the trip and I went out with my camera instead. A splash of red in all that white!
